Use Yellow in Your Home for Year-Round Cheer

From sophisticated mustard to soft buttery tones, yellow infuses any design scheme with a pop of timeless cheer.
One of the most luminous hues on the color spectrum, yellow was a staple of 1960s, ’70s and ’80s decor. Now, the vivid shade of flowers and lemons, egg yolks and happy faces, is once again ready to brighten our homes. Its warm aura will remind you of summer’s sunny days while remaining cozy and comforting in the cooler months ahead.
“Yellow is a happy color,” says the Phoenix Home & Garden Masters of the Southwest award-winning architect and designer Daniel Germani. “In 2019, it was the choice of all the major fashion collections, and now it has permeated into furniture and interior design. When showcased on outdoor furnishings, the cheerful hue makes a statement and screams ‘sunshine.’ The right tone of yellow is timeless and super chic.”
