If you’re exploring shades of yellow around your home, then you’re definitely not afraid to go big and bold. We recommend pairing your yellow walls with patterned, textured and out-there curtain and blind designs! Try pairing pattern curtains with velvet sofas of bright green and pink, and don’t forget to adorn the room with plants, big and small, to really complement the yellow. 

Rooms with large sash windows, bay windows, or French doors are fab pairings for yellow walls. This is because yellow will burn bright throughout the room, even in low light and when the sun fills the room. For bright rooms, opaque window dressings of cream or white can be ever-so-complementary. 

Consider what you use the space for to help you determine the right window dressings. If it’s a busy area that sees a lot of traffic, i.e. little ones running around or furry friends, you may want to install roller blinds or electric blinds for ease of use. Alternatively, you might want to adorn your window with long draping made-to-measure curtains in a calm, well-lit space built for relaxing.   

Smaller rooms mean smart, space-saving window treatments. If you go guns-blazing and dress your windows with long, luxurious curtains that hug the wall more than the glass, then there is less room for activities.

Sure, it's a matchy-matchy world, but breaking the mould is cooler! So let your curtains bring their own flair, and pick curtains that dance with your wall colour. Think white curtains for a yellow room, or spice it up with contrasting shades for a lively twist.

Yellow - the sun's BFF - radiates joy and positivity. It's the colour of happiness, energy, and optimism. Think of it as a mood-lifter, bringing that warm glow into your space. It's the cheerleader, symbolising sunshine and positive vibes. Picture a field of sunflowers or a smiley face; yellow is equivalent to a warm hug.

This depends on the shade of yellow you choose. While paler pastel yellows are more forgiving, more vibrant yellows can clash when paired with similarly bright or neon tones. They might steal the spotlight from our sunny friend. Also, tread lightly with muted tones, as they might not bring out the best in yellow. It's all about balance, so keep the peace in your palette!
