Blue and yellow are a gorgeous and super bold combo, a timeless one: blue calms down and yellow raises the spirits. Though you might think that blue and yellow are suitable for mostly coastal and nautical spaces, that’s not so as you can easily integrate them into other rooms, too, depending on the style and looks. Here are some ideas to pull off this lovely color scheme at its best.
Blue And Yellow Color Palette
First of all, decide which blue and yellow shades you prefer. Navy, midnight and royal blue are among the most popular blue tones, and as for yellow, these are mustard and lemon yellow. You can mix and match any of these creating a bold contrast, or even stick to pastels and light shades of both colors. To deepen the color scheme, you may go for various shades of blue and yellow in one room or add brass and gold for more elegant, orange or coral for a coastal space, grey and creamy shades to calm down the color scheme. Black and graphite grey look nice with both blue and yellow and can be used to add a bit of drama to the decor.
Considering the styles, you will see blue and yellow in mid-century modern and nautical spaces more often, still you can integrate it into Scandinavian, contemporary and maximalist rooms, too.

Blue And Yellow Home Decor
Let’s start from the walls, and if you’ve picked up a dark blue shade like midnight blue, consider it as a color for an accent wall or design a moody room if you want it on all the walls. Yellow accent walls are always great as cheerful accents, they fill your space with sunlight, still I wouldn’t recommend to rock yellow on all the walls unless you love it a lot. Furniture is an easier way to incorporate colors, and navy sofas paired with yellow chairs or stools will be a gorgeous combo. If it’s a kitchen, you can rock blue cabinets and a yellow kitchen island or vice versa. Support the color scheme with decor, artwork, potted plants and rugs, curtains and pillows that are easy to make and can be swapped anytime. Gallery walls can be used to continue with the colors, too, and potted greenery will refresh the look of the room. Get inspired!
