Yellow bedroom: how to decorate
Yellow is sunlight in colour form — it lifts and warms. Muted, mustard-like tones are easiest to live with; bright yellow is best saved for accents.

How yellow works in the bedroom
In the bedroom, keep yellow muted and sparing — a mustard tone in textiles warms without disturbing sleep.
Keep in mind what's specific to this room: calm and rest — the colour should wind you down. That decides how much colour can show and where it does the most good.
Colours that pair well with yellow
Yellow lifts grey and navy, and plays with wood and off-white. Mustard against grey is a modern classic.
Materials and details
Velvet and wool make yellow warm and luxurious; wood and brass amplify the warmth.
The most common mistake
Painting a whole wall in bright yellow — it tires fast. Keep strong yellow to cushions, art and details.
See yellow in the bedroom — before you paint
The hard thing about colour is that it looks completely different in different light and rooms. Instead of gambling on a tin of paint: upload a photo of the bedroom and type "repaint the bedroom in yellow". In a minute you'll see the result in your own light — and can try several shades before deciding.
