Sunshine, honey, buttercups and lemons: the color yellow has a vitalizing and mood-enhancing effect. We show you how you can integrate the cheerful color into your home.
Yellow walls for every room
Summer, sun, sunshine - we like that all year round. With the color yellow we can paint or wallpaper cheerful mood on the walls. But be careful, this shade needs to be dosed.

Blue is also part of the primary color and when mixed with yellow, the complementary color green is created. Therefore, these tones look natural and beautiful in combination.

Wall paint or wallpaper
Whether color or wallpaper depends on the nature of the wall and your ideas. If you only want to add a subtle, colorful accent, it makes sense to paint only one wall in the room with wall paint. If the yellow color effect should be stronger, there are various patterned or colorful wallpapers. For wet rooms such as the bathroom there are now non-woven wallpapers that withstand the humid and warm conditions. They are also suitable for the children's room, as they are usually washable.

Combine yellow color
If you want to make your rooms friendlier and brighter, this color is wonderful. The color palette ranges from pale yellow to strong lemon yellow or almost brownish gold. To integrate the color as harmoniously as possible, it is best to combine it with wood, brown, green and blue tones. Colors like red, purple or pink can have a happy effect in combination with yellow, but they look too restless. So it depends on what you want to achieve. Start with small decorative elements of the color and see how the color affects you and your home.
