Illuminating or just yellow is one of the two main colors of the year, and I must say that many of us are craving for bold colors and decor after tiring 2020. Yellow is a great vibrant color that is associated with joy and sunshine, and touches of these two won’t be amiss anywhere! That’s why today I’m offering you some ideas of yellow accent walls.
Going for an accent wall is rather a budget-friendly and not too difficult way of adding a color to a space, perhaps one of the most popular ways. You may do that with paint to make it easy, with wallpaper, which is a bit harder, with tiles, wall panels and much more – it depends on the look you want and the budget and skill you have. Yellow has many shades, from bright neon to refined mustard, and it will be a timeless color accent anywhere – in a bathroom, a living room, bedroom or entryway. Yellow can easily be incorporated into many color schemes, from monochromatic black and white to bright and fun ones, with multiple colors.
