Yellow shades have an inherent brightness, freshness and warmth that make them an ever-popular colour all around the home.
Our Creative Director, Ruth Mottershead explores the latest additions to our 'Colours of England' Colourcard.
'Yellow is a timeless and positive colour; it’s perfect for busy spaces that see a lot of activity such as your hallway or kitchen. These hues instantly lift the mood and atmosphere of the room. The kitchen, often seen as the heart of the home, is the perfect space to use bolder colours, such as ‘Giallo’, reminiscent of golden sun, which will bring joy and create an energetic scheme. You can use this to highlight architectural details or as an accent colour on one of the walls, pairing it with soft greens and whites such as the new ‘Garden’ and ‘Silent White’ in the rest of the space, for a more elegant and paired back scheme. For an impactful look, drench your space in colour on all four walls, used all over, ‘Giallo’ will envelop the kitchen with sunshine all year round.'
'In addition to the golden toned ‘Giallo,’ we have introduced two other new yellows this year; a deep ochre named ‘Bassoon’, and a warm ‘Indian Yellow’. We really see this year as being the year of ‘yellow’, reflecting our desire for warmth and making us feel uplifted in our homes. These three new yellows have been formulated to be used as all over colour – en masse, without being either too bright of strong – certainly yellow but very easy on the eye.'
