Although the idea of sunny yellow may instantly bring the idea of summertime sunshine to mind, this invigorating hue can instantly refresh your home for the colder months of the year. This Fall/Winter 2016, inject your humble abode with pops of canary and buttery hues. Try infusing your space with yellow shades which can easily capture the winter sunlight peeking in through the windows. As we head into winter, we’ve curated a few breathtaking ways to decorate with this colour now.

Incorporate a bright yellow armchair into a neutral living room: If you’re currently working with brown hardwood floors and dark grey walls, try bringing a hint of yellow into your overall interior design. This can be easily accomplished with a plush armchair in a fluorescent yellow shade, and a matching accent pillow added to a white sofa. Meanwhile, a luxurious marble fireplace and elegant black bookcases help to create an imposing yet stylish look.

Experiment with a yellow accent wall in your home office: To brighten your study, try painting a dark yellow accent wall. Add slender wall shelves, a pale wooden desk and a white swivel chair for a fully modernized space. The lighter neutral tones pick up on the vibrant yellow tone, and also balance out your colour scheme.

Combine yellow with bold black and white checks: If solid tones have left you bored, try accessorizing a funky yellow chair with a black and white checkered area rug. For a finishing touch, adorn your white sofa with black and white printed accent pillows. While we’ve all head of “black, white and red all over”, it looks like black, white and yellow just may be the new colour combination to beat.
