Yellow and Gold

You can give your interior a summery Midas touch this season with a bright and glamorous YELLOW AND GOLD colour scheme. This combination of tones lie on the same colour spectrum and the hints of metallic will create a luxurious feel in any room of the home. Use alone or team with deep or tonal background colours for a chic designer finish.

A great way of teaming these two colours is with upholstery and framework that can be used to create a zoned area of colour within your chosen room. A bold yellow upholstered occasional chair will look fabulous with a gold leaf frame that accentuates the curves and carvings to give an eye-catching period style finish. Alternatively why not take a classic gold painted wing back bed frame and upholster the large headboard with a luxurious yellow or mustard satin fabric that can be further accentuated with button or rivet detailing.

Yellow and gold lighting is set to be another of 2017s biggest trends with a vast array of modern and traditional designs available across the high street. For a statement ceiling light that will create a pop of colour in any neutral space, opt for a bold banana yellow ceiling pendant with a gold interior that will reflect the light and create a glistening ambiance within the room. Gold floor or table lamps can be complimented with mustard, lemon or yellow patterned shades that will look great against a white cream or deep grey painted backdrop.

Coloured cushions are a great way of introducing a new colour scheme into your chosen room and can combine a multitude of patterns and designs to suit your chosen interior look. For a period style elegance that is refined and sophisticated then select rich mustard and gold cushions in baroque or fleur-de-lys designs that will look fabulous on a traditional sofa, bed or chaise lounge. These can be further complimented with a set of luxurious yellow curtains hung in sweeping drapes and fitted with a gold curtain pole and tie backs for added opulence and style. A funky and modern feel can be created using bold and striking geometric prints and patterns in monochrome yellow and gold that will create visual detail on a minimal seating area or crisp white bed set.

If you are feeling creative then why not give some of your old furniture items a new lease of life with a selection of painted or decoupage furniture items. Paint an old wardrobe or dressing table in your chosen yellow shade and accentuate with glistening gold drawer and door knobs that will balance the tone and colour of the item. For a more bold and eye-catching design add some luxurious gold paint to a chest of drawers or sideboard and add yellow printed wallpaper to the drawer and door fronts to create texture and pattern in your chosen room. Further compliment the room with mix and match of yellow and gold accessories such as vases, photo frames and mirrors that will create a focal point against a painted or wallpapered feature wall.
