What sounds like a completely awful color palette is really quite nice, don't you think? I'm working on a project right now that has required me to think outside my sometimes boring color box. My client's one request? Design a room around Anthropologie's buttery yellow Atelier Chesterfield sofa. Yup. A big, expensive, yellow sofa.
My first instinct? Go neutral. You know, grey, black, white, yellow (à la Jenna Lyons). But the more I thought about it the more I realized that yellow compliments many other colors quite nicely. Above are four rooms that I keep referring back to for color inspiration. Which on is your favorite?

I love yellow and olive green together (indeed its in both my living room and my bedroom!) in combo with all the neutrals (grey/black/white) but a dash of red always seems to go great with the combination as well.
ReplyDeleteI never thought of using turquoise with these colours though! What fabulous images and inspiration - my favourite is the last image.
Together with all the neutrals (gray/black/ white), I like purple and olive greens (it is indeed in both my living room, and my bedroom!), but the red shot always seems to be fantastic with the mixture.

However, I never believed in using these colors turquoise! What a wonderful picture and inspiration-the last picture is my favorite.
