Summer is here, and we could all do with a peppy burst of sunshine in our homes! And there’s no better way to do that, than by adding a touch of yellow to your colour palette.
If yellow is your go-to colour, here’s some cheery inspiration for your bathrooms. From pale, creamy buttercup to vibrant neon yellow, there’s a shade here that’s sure to strike a chord in your heart!
Pick-Me-Up Cabinets
The cabinetry in this master bathroom is drenched in lemon yellow, and we couldn’t ask for a better pick-me-up! Guaranteed to brighten up the gloomiest day, these solid colour blocked shutters beautifully offset the white terrazzo countertop, and are brought to focus by the pretty yellow blooms alongside the sink.
Yellow on a Checkerboard bathroom
This eye-popping canvas is edgy and fun—a true celebration of life! Here, a bold yellow wall draws all eyes and adds dramatic interest to this checkerboard bathroom tiled in alternating black and white.
Yellow Punch
Clinical white tiles get an instant facelift! Deep yellow chrome packs a punch in the countertops and, most unexpectedly, the ceiling, in this otherwise staid bathroom. We love the bursts of yellow in the punched-out shelves on the wall above the pot.
Golden Mosaic bathroom
Tiny glass mosaic tiles tap out a pattern in yellow and black on the walls in this elegant modern bathroom. The ceiling and floors in muted beige offer a subdued backdrop.
Symphonies in Yellow
The feature wall behind the tub in this contemporary bathroom is tiled in a medley of sunshine shades to create a lovely, warm aesthetic. Tall narrow glass windows on either side of the tiles frame and draw attention to the cheery narrative. As pretty as pretty can be!
Peppy Citrus
Freshly squeezed citrus cushions offer the perfect finishing touches to this woody bathroom. Light some scented candles, bring out the wine and soak in the sheer indulgence of this gorgeous, golden-toned spa!
Dotted Yellow and Striped Blue
Dots and stripes dictate the design tone in this charming blue, yellow and white bathroom. The lower half of the walls is tiled in jaunty white and blue nautical stripes, while the soft yellow dotted wallpaper till the ceiling offers pointed contrast. Richly panelled wooden doors and furniture lend an air of quiet sophistication to the resort-style setting.
Soft Buttercup
Creamy buttercup yellow walls combine beautifully with the steel grey textured door in this charming powder room, with the painting on the wall reflecting the same colour palette. The flooring is marble-patterned ceramic tile.
Colours of Spring
A nature-inspired palette of yellow and green gives out plenty of fresh springtime vibes in this lively bathroom. This summery duo of colours is an exuberant pairing, with the green tiles on the floor coming alive against the zingy yellow walls.
The Sun and the Sea
Colours that are on opposite ends of the spectrum go beautifully together, as is evident in this yellow and blue jewel-toned bathroom. Topaz and Sapphire tiles breathe fire as they wrap seamlessly around the floors, walls and ceiling.
Elegance in Marble
Fine-veined yellow Italian marble exudes elegance on the floor and walls of this luxe bathroom, and is shown off to perfection against the complementary shades of brown and grey on the walls. The sanitaryware is in simple, plain white.
Dramatic Duo
The heady combo of black and yellow dazzle and stun in this designer bathroom that spells the last word in luxury. Tiny hexagonal wall tiles in yellow are strongly highlighted against the intense matte black in the walls behind. The low, long cabinetry, again in black, emphasizes the colour pairing.
On the opposite wall, the gleaming black freestanding tub is placed in front of a golden yellow wall that’s lit up by warm track lights on the ceiling.
Tips For Incorporating Yellow in Your Home!
Yellow is a radiant shade; the colour of sunshine, joy and optimism! It sparks happy smiles and promotes positivity; as such, it has the power to uplift your moods. Yellow helps to turn on your creative and analytical powers, and is said to promote out-of-the-box thinking.
Too much yellow can make you restless and irritable, and it’s best paired with, or contrasted against, complementary shades.
• Yellow and Green: Green adds freshness and coolness that mellows down yellow’s intensity.
• Yellow and Black: This pairing is stunning and dramatic, and can create intense drama in your room. These are colours to be handled with care!
• Yellow and Blue: Opposites do indeed attract, and serene blues perfectly offset the warmth and vibrancy of yellow.
• Yellow and Orange: Part of the same colour family, shades of yellow and orange are invigorating and zesty, cheerful and fiery all at once. Tone them down against a neutral backdrop of white or cream.
• Yellow and Grey: Neon yellow and smoky grey make for an aesthetically interesting pairing. Yellow adds the zing, while grey provides the quiet, dignified background that ties everything together.
There’s never a dull moment when playful yellow enters the scene! Looking to add this sunshine colour to your bathrooms, but not sure where to start? The HomeLane team has plenty of ideas! Do come over and we’ll be happy to chat!
