Yellow is a bright and cheerful color to use in furniture and home decor. Yellow usually makes people feel happy and optimistic and can stimulate the mind, although too much bright yellow can be a little overwhelming. Many people enjoy using lighter shades of yellow to give an air of cheerfulness or pops of bright yellow to make particular pieces of decor stand out.
If you use it with other bright, warm colors, like pink and orange, it can have a tropical look that reminds people of summer. Light yellow with green can have a springtime vibe. Yellow becomes a calmer color when it’s paired with neutral colors. Pairing it with brown and darker orange turns it into an autumn color.
