Is yellow furniture in style?
Yellow – the colour of sunshine, flowers and (coincidentally) the walls of the coffee shop I’m in – is in style right now.
Psychologically speaking, it’s proven to be the happiest colour on the colour wheel so it’s no wonder we’re gagging for it to be in our spaces.
Yellow furniture, yellow accents and yellow walls are a popular interior design choice – they can be seen everywhere from interior magazines to social media to furniture shops – if you’re thinking of going yellow, now is as good a time as any.

what colour goes with yellow furniture

Mixing and matching colours is where its at with yellow; since it’s such a strong colour, it’s a good idea to balance it out with lots of different colours – yellow walls and yellow furniture could be a bit much.
According to Very Well Mind, yellow is an energetic colour, but this intensity can have a downside; yellow grabs a lot of attention and although it induces serotonin, it can also cause fatigue in large doses.
Most people like to pair yellow furniture with grey, but there are a plethora of colour schemes you could choose, this all depends on your interior style:
- yellow and blue – playful and energetic
- yellow and red – vibrant
- yellow and green – brings the outside in
- yellow and purple – luxurious
- yellow and black – striking
- yellow and white – calming and beachy
- yellow and grey – modern
- yellow and brown – vintage
- yellow and orange – lively
- yellow and pink – youthful
is yellow a good decorating colour?

Yellow is a brilliant decorating colour as it induces happiness and creativity – the people in lab coats have proven it – but be careful where and how much yellow you introduce into your home; yellow is a stimulating colour so it can make our brains tired.
If you want to use a lot of yellow, tone and brightness are key, especially for home decor. You can get away with more yellow if it’s a softer tone, like buttery yellow, but when using bright yellow, concentrate an accented furniture or small areas like woodwork.
