Re: Yellow Rooms? 👍 or 👎🏻

We like yellow, many years ago we painted the master bedroom a nice shade of yellow, doesn't scream at you at all. My DH in fact picked out this color. Pretty easy to decorate with, I have LOTS of lovely quilts, subdued and brights depending on the season. Our room faces the east so the sun rises in it every morning, makes it bright, cheerful, happy.

I like the creamy shades of yellow.  Same with gold; the creamy shades are my preference.

Yes! I think I have had a yellow room in all but one of the four houses I have lived in as an adult The "yellow" room in my present home is the guest room. Most of the furnishings are creamy neutrals, including the window treatments, carpet, bedding and chair. The walls have just a touch of yellow in the same creamy tone: Sherwin-Williams Hinoki. The room faces east. Even on a rainy day it looks bright and cheerful,  but subdued at night, just as I intended.

I'm not a fan of yellow on my walls.  I don't think it works with my decor.  The photos though are beautiful and yellow fits perfectly.  A friend painted every room in her houses a light yellow.  It always looked nice.  My co-worker who's also a neighbor painted a half bath in your face yellow.  Not a fan.

These rooms are very fresh and pretty.  Look summery especially with white touches.  I like them a lot.

Although it hasn't been a color I've decorated with, I like a little bit of pale yellow-- pretty and sunshine-y.  Especially like the way the English do yellow in their country houses.  They're fearless.

 

My pale green kitchen has a retro enamel yellow wall clock.

👍🏼Absolutely. I use a color called Ancient Scroll and it's a bit paler than this and I adore it. It's quite a neutral color without with out being some type of ivory or beige. Anyway yes I am a fan for sure.


My entire downstairs is a soft yellow and I love it. It’s time for me to paint again upstairs and the color @Lucylu12  that you mentioned sounds like what I am looking for. It looks like that is a Home Depot Behr paint color...if I am correct, may I ask what type of coverage do you get with their paints?  We painted a bathroom upstairs with Duron brand and it surely isn’t what it used to be. Thinner and color comes off when I wipe something off the wall.  How does the Home Depot brand perform? Thanks!

I like yellow and agree it's a happy color.  Same as others though, I don't like an in your face yellow.  We always had a softer yellow kitchen in our homes until we moved to our condo, now it's a darker beige as it connects with the dining room.  That would have been a bit too much.
