Do you like yellow?

vor 8 Jahren

zuletzt bearbeitet:vor 8 Jahren

Bright, sunny and exuberant, yellow to me has always been a colour synonymous with happiness and life, and whilst it'd be easy for me to get carried away with superlatives, I realise it's not for everyone.

So, would you mind if everything was all yellow, or is it a shade to steer clear of? Let us know in the comments below!

I do like the a bright egg yolk yellow but in very small doses, I love a vase of daffodils. Yellow works well in transitional areas that need brightening up. Two of the rooms in my flat were painted an almost acid yellow when I moved in years ago and I had to paint over it (made me feel queasy),

My hallway has no windows and is painted a colour called SOL which gives it a bright, lively and warm feel and it glows from the light of the other rooms that open onto it. Makes a big difference especially on grey cold days. It is also a great backdrop for my artwork and furniture, The chocolate/treacle coloured gloss wooden floors and white gloss woodwork all complement each other well.

I know it's not 'on trend' but I was just thinking I've had it like this for about 15 years and it still makes me smile. I'm due to re-paint soon and will refresh the same colour. I've not been one to follow trends, not a spot of grey in my house!

Hi Valerie, Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I am trying since forever to find some pillows in a similar color like the mint in the carpet, but with no success till now. The carpet is 190X290 cm, in the pics is not completely unfolded. Hopefully it will fit well. A big piece of artwork is also on my wishlist, but i feel i need to buy those pillows first . Not an easy task to find the rigt color and material. Regards, Andra

I think the dust reason is bogus. It's just that electricians, like most people and especially workmen, are used to doing things a certain way. "Das haben wir schon immer so gemacht" ("we always did it this way") is a line you hear often. All countries have their oddities. Right now I am dealing with British workmen in Spain who have their own and sometimes rather strange methods. But I think that those peculiarities are part of the fun of living in a foreign country, no? If I wanted things to be the way I am used to, I'd have to move back to Germany.

A question about pendants for chandeliers
Q

Hey, I love these chandeliers. They look pretty and unique. It must be hard to find similar pendants. In my opinion you should look on pages where they sell products from different vendors. I have seen some great chandeliers on sites like ikea. https://www.lionshome.at/moebel-paravent/garten/ etc. You can go on these sites give the name, material, your preis range and see if you can find theses or similar pendants.

I love it, especially with grey or navy as an accent. Also love yellow chinoiserie combined with black for an oriental look. I wouldn't have it everywhere though. My last house when we moved in had different shades of egg yolk everywhere and it looked awful

This is a new thing for me - if you had asked me a year ago I would have said NO WAY, But I actually love it, teamed with grey it lifts a scheme and adds some punch to it. I'm a def yes I love it!

I like it as a very small accent like a vase or alarm clock. Definitely couldn't paint a whole room yellow. When I was 10 my mum made me wear a yellow skirt and top to a wedding-scared for life, have disliked the colour ever since!!!

The walls in my living room are Bumble Bee from a long gone Dulux colour - it's a deep ochre yellow . My carpet , couch and curtains are terracotta . This colour scheme is now 20 years old but I still love this room ! I've got a big based brass lamp and when it's on the whole room glows , it's like living in a pumpkin lantern ! Safe sanctuary .

I love a bright zingy yellow as an accent but creams and off whites with yellow undertones are, personally, not for me.

I have a bright yellow hallway, with the regency panelling below it painted a soft off-white/grey colour.

I love it, but you have to have great lighting to keep it fresh looking, and it's not to everyone's taste!

Steer clear of yellow? I am drawn to it like Icarus to the Sun. Look at Yellow with deep Pink. Tame it with a sophisticated purple. Strong pink tulips against a yellow wall. purple lupins against an egg yolk wall or Lime green for a fix of acid bright with hot pink flowers.

yes I'm with you - has to be the right shade and looks good with grey - modern, fresh and cheery. Now contemplating painting one wall in a sunshine yellow with grey and blue & white furniture - my son wants a Valentino Rossi themed bedroom!

I couldn't agree more everyone, I think yellow looks great as an accent, and one big splash on one feature does the trick. Not a huge fan of yellow and grey personally as it's a bit overdone for me. However I've decided that I'll have a yellow door - preferably the one above!

I hate yellow and blue together, reminds me of those awful french tablecloths with olives all over them. Yellow with greens is best.

liquiddesign I used to hate yellow and blue then weirdly, mustard and teal (with dull olive/grey) have become the accent colours in my house. I think if the colours are all of equal intensities then it doesn't work, but toned down versions look strangely interesting.

LOVE YELLOW!

absolutely. one of the main things i love about it is how it gives a feeling of gleeful frivolity & luxury to some things. We have a yellow carpet in a low-traffic area and it feels luxurious as yellow is 'sposed to be not hardwearing... (if that makes sense) and somehow says 'i dont take myself so seriously!' plus its just a sunny colour... and who doesnt need a bit of extra sun...?!

Thanks stella at home! I have 2 old yellow sofas that were once duck egg yellow but are now faded by the sun & worn by the dogs but still adorable.

They have old needlepoint cushions on them & throws that change from rosy red to soft daffodil-leaf green in summer.

Yellow roses in a green glass vase are on an old habitat large square glass coffee table, as I write, but I have had the hot pink tulips there all spring.

Flowers from the garden will replace them when I come back from holiday..mixed shades of hot pink, pale pink roses, lime lady's mantle & whatevers going. They will be carefree arrangements, not "tidy".

Two antique french chairs live with them, in the seating area, covered in Kate Foreman roses fabric & rose red velvet.

They are in a room with big glass windows to the garden so the green of the garden tames them & they sit on an £8 auction large rug, which has had everything thrown at in, in french pinks & soft creams.

I am describing it in detail because , i will try & send a photo but I am hopeless on the computer !

so agree on the front doors, especially on white houses or stone houses. In the Uk in Sussex there are a number of villages quite a few of the cottages have yellow doors & window frames.

What a coincidence to find yellow as a discussion topic - great choice Tom!

Only last night I was on a site survey discussing the use of yellow for a new family room/kitchen. Yellow as a predominant colour hasn't been used for a couple of decades now and as a trend we were discussing its comeback.

The clients are botanists so linking the scheme with the garden and nature is key to where we go with it and spring is their favourite time with the garden - hence the discussion.

The general consensus here though would appear to be adding it as an accent colour. I would love to do something a bit more courageous than that though. All suggestions welcome!

we just fitted a 1950s basin and loo in an art deco style in creamy yellow/primrose to our new boot room and teamed it with light grey metro tiles and oak parquet floor. looks amazing and the yellow really brightens up what would be a slightly dull cold room.

Yep, we're in the middle of painting our sitting room dulux ringlet, and I'm exercising self-control on not painting the whole house some shade or other. It has to be the right yellow though - a pale buttery, primrosey soft yellow without mustardy, green or brown undertones.

We definitely think yellow can work in the right context - in fact, lots of our customers at the moment love using it as an accent colour, in a monochrome scheme for example. It's really great at breaking up a scheme and stopping it from looking too insipid.

It all depends on the shade of yellow - something with a bit of orange in it to suggest sunshine or some green to suggest spring is more pleasing than a buttercup yellow for an interior.

The right amount and shade of yellow can especially add an elegant touch of colour to a black & white interior scheme.

I'm not keen on yellow. Every time I've used yellow paint Ive repainted because it has been too strong on walls . It would need to be a very pale yellow for me to be convinced . Perhaps combined with white or pale grey in a bedroom ?

Really really no! Bright yellow terrifies me (I'm colour phobic) and light mustardy or lemon I think looks dirty as though it used to be white of cream. Saying that though my friend has grey white and bright yellow stripes in her hallway all the way through the hall and up the stairs with white carndene (not sure I spelt that right) flooring and it looks amazing so bright and modern.... And brave

Currently doing a small room in a warm, soft yellow. Tried a lemony yellow in a bedroom once and it was completely the wrong shade for the natural light in the room. Where the shadows fell it just looked a dirty grey/yellow so I think you have to be careful as there are so many different yellows.

front doors have to be yellow for me. don't care about fashion - we lost the house we wanted in 1984 [it had a lovely yellow door] and so we bought this one, painted the door yellow, and it's been that way ever since.

i hate my yellow walls in the kitchen, though. they've got to go...

White cottage walls. Black plinth, window sills + down-pipes. Yellow window reveals with yellow front door. Eye-catching + sunny. Great for directions in a rural setting.
