Use Yellow

You don't need a lot, but it's amazing the way a burst of yellow can liven a space.


Pair these cocktails tables from Candelabra with your neutral upholstered pieces for a bold contrast.

Paint one wall in a shade of yellow to brighten the room. Vivere recommends Benjamin Moore's "Amarillo".

A few yards of Quadrille's "Nomad" fabric made into pillows will wake up a tired sofa. Vivere found the pillow below at thewellappointedhouse.com, but it would be more cost effective to have the pillows made.

For an incredibly simple way to bring in some yellow accents, arrange a full bouquet of flowers or showcase some vintage yellow ceramics in your kitchen.
