Yellow is a wonderful color: it makes your space feel sunny and bright, it raises your spirits at once. This is a warm color that can brighten up any space and using it in the kitchen will make it very welcoming. How to incorporate yellow into kitchen decor with style and to avoid fatigue that may be caused by excessiveness of this bold color? Here are some ideas.
Kitchen Walls/ Backsplashes
Yellow or any of its shades can be incorporated into kitchen decor with an accent wall or a backsplash, which is a very popular idea. You can have any kitchen in any style – Scandinavian, farmhouse, modern, minimalist, vintage and with many color schemes, though dark and neutral ones will be affected with yellow most of all. Go for a whole wall decorated with the yellow shade that you like or incorporate a backsplash of catchy yellow tiles and make your space bolder, brighter and more welcoming. Hang a pendant lamp or place some stools to echo with the yellow backsplash and to highlight it. One more non-traditional but easy idea is to paint your floor yellow, which will add instant boost to the space but make sure you love the color and are ready to incorporate that much of it.

Kitchen Furniture
Yellow can be incorporated with furniture, too, though it doesn’t mean you should order all the cabinets in bright yellow. Go for only uppers or lowers and keep everything else neutral or black to avoid any excessiveness unless it’s your goal. You may also try a kitchen island done in yellow as contrasting and mismatching kitchen islands are in trend. Boldly rock yellow kitchen countertops if you don’t want too many changes, and they will easily add a warming touch to the space. Enjoy!
