Yellow Mellow!


Today we focus on the sunshine colour of yellow which is the lightest and cheeriest colour of the whole colour spectrum. Its brightness is perfect for illuminating dark spaces like hallways to make a welcoming entrance, and it's a popular choice for kitchens.

One cannot help but feel optimistic when using yellow. It is therefore ideal for a room you may use in the mornings or north facing rooms. A yellow household is said to suggest a” happy, healthy lifestyle, where the inhabitants are cheerful and full of ideas” David Willis

Drawbacks: Used to excess yellow can be too over stimulating and is thought to enhance feelings of emotional distress. Once upon a time, yellow was associated with honour and loyalty, but later became connected with cowardice – beware!
