Both kitchen/ dining rooms are nice.

i don’t like the living room, mostly because it lacks color. There is only bright yellow and cream....it needs something else color wise..perhaps a rug with more colors with a print or pattern.

I’d change out the rug and pillows...it’s too much yellow and lacking a third color for accent.

I love Yellow, and I love the 1st three pictures, the last one may be a bit too much. I also have a yellow kitchen, very soft yellow similar to picture #2.. It is a sunny, happy color, especially in a kitchen! I accented with some Red, not a lot but just a little very subtly.....

Hi @GingerPeach ..... I love to be home too, even if my home isn't as pretty as any of those pictured 😊.

I also love yellow and I would be happy with any of the rooms you featured.....except maybe the last one, only because I prefer soft yellow and classic furnishings, the last room is brighter yellow and more modern, just not my taste, but still nice.

I love yellow on walls. Not the egg yolk as much as a soft buttercup tone.

I've had the egg yolk color in a kitchen with black and white tiled floors.

My neighbor has her livingroom painted a nice yellow and lots of blue and white porcelain accent peices and toile upholstery.

I love yellow in a kitchen. The color comes and goes as far as style; always "in" for me.

My family room is Benjamin Moore's Philadelphia Cream, which with the natural light in that room is a soft shade of yellow. A very sunny room and color! Two walls of my kitchen that have no cabinets are a soft butter yellow.

Love black/ white/ yellow or gold, like photo #1. Photo #2 also very nice.

First two I like, the second two I don't.

The kitchen with orange is off putting to me, and the brighter yellow of the last picture is just plain hard on the eyes.

I don’t like yellow anything. Walls, furniture, clothes, shoes etc. just not a fan. To bright and loud. I like muted and winter tones.

I love that first kitchen! Gorgeous.
In fact, I have two rooms with pale butter yellow walls: living room and a bedroom. Yellow is a happy color.

I wanted my foyer to be yellow, it's small and the chandelier shades are black and the accessories are black. The chandelier itself is black with gold accents.

I wanted the walls to be more gold-ish, than yellow. Cannot get it right. Since it's small I may try again this year to get it right.

I have 3 bedrooms, the "spare" bedroom is yellow, I love it.

I do not like that neon yellow.

The yellow in the kitchen with the black chairs are my style. Not a windsor back chair in particular, that picture gives me ideas! I have white cabinets. I like to paint.

I never wear yellow

The living room is very nice. All four bedroom are yellow and will eventually painting grey and white with some yellow.

I am only seeing three pictures. I do like the first one the best. I have a lighter yellow guest bath with gray tile and it is very pretty and happy. I have pictures and vases of sunflowers in there too. People always tell me how nicely decorated it is but I give the credit to the colors.

My kitchen in whichever house is always painted yellow. Lately I have gone to a softer shade.

Never too much yellow in my opinion, but a soft calming yellow I do prefer.

It always looks so fresh on walls or an accent color in pillows, candles, etc.

I like the third picture with the yellow cabinets. I could live there.

I love the first one, the kitchen is okay and a definite no for the living room.

All three spaces would be too much for me.

I just had my home interior repainted.

I have 1 accent wall in kitchen (where there is a bay window)/den area in a very light yellow.

In DR I painted 1 accent wall (triple sliders) yellow & 1 accent wall in LR (these are one big room) same color.

The rest of the walls are done in creamy white color with gloss white for trim, door & baseboards.

The yellow is mellow enough it just accents the rooms & decor enhances it.

I like yellow if it's done in the right tones. The pictures here are much to bright yellow

I love the first picture, the soft buttery yellow on the walls. Very similar to the yellow walls we have in a few rooms in our home.

As much as I love a soft yellow, I can't get used to yellow cabinets (but OMG LOVE that range!).

The 3rd is too jarring to my eye. Not soothing for me.
