Ode to the Yellow Bedroom

When you decorate with the color wheel’s version of Reese Witherspoon, you want to find ways to tone it down while preserving its optimism. Such was the case when designing a yellow-themed guest bedroom.

Color palette

A white-painted room allows for the statement color and accents to stand out. When selecting the yellow shade, we went for a school bus yellow over a softer lemony hue. It was natural to weave in black accents to add a sophisticated contrast.

Supporting pieces

The trundle bed, the room’s main furnishing, is painted in Benjamin Moore’s glossy Decorator White. A layering of yellow linens and pillows reinforce a cozy, styled feel. There’s a mix of block prints, mud cloth and hand-painted textiles that are both controlled and add design appeal. The black patterned carpet by Hook & Loom brings in a subdued, whimsical feel while adding another warm texture. 

One statement artwork piece is all you need on the walls to keep the colors from looking too manic. A Stray Dog Design chandelier that gives the impression of tamed seaweed increases the wow factor.

Whatever shade of yellow you choose, there won’t be any downer moments in a room with this bright color. From happy faces to a radiating sun, yellow pays homage to iconic emblems of cheerfulness. It’s the ideal color to design a room with impact.
