Why choose yellow?

Yellow offers fresh appeal in each of its many variations. What could be more inviting than a bright coloured curtain fabric and a scattering of yellow cushion covers to welcome you home? The colour of eternal summer, we can’t think of any shade we would rather come home to on a bleak winter’s day – or better, a warm spring evening.

Saffron, this lovely powerful shade of golden yellow upholstery fabric, pairs well with darker hues of grey, such as Winter and Charcoal, which work particularly well in living rooms and impart a sophisticated feel. It is fresh and strong enough to produce lovely yellow curtains which we can make for you as part of our made to measure service.

Yellow coloured fabric designs include Origami, Shibori, Stockholm Stripe, French Ticking, By the Sea, Fruit Garden, and Pretty Maids, to mention a few, all feature gorgeous yellow and soft grey colour combinations.

The softer Buttercup yellow is the perfect partner for Clay, with added accents of Charcoal. This mixture of yellow and grey striped fabric is very pretty in kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and bedrooms, exemplified in the designs Song Birds, Fruit Garden, and French Ticking.

The counter balance between the warmth and cheerfulness of the yellow and the cool greys is perfect. Grey and yellow interiors create happiness and warmth and are spectacular in the evening when the sun is going down and the fire is lit.

Hay is the softest yellow, beautiful for elegant sitting room or bedroom curtains. Perfect designs to consider would be Fern and Dragonfly, with coordinating Lapland Stripe too.

Sand yellow reflect the colour golden beaches can be more sophisticated in a sitting room of dining room, adding warmth without the brightness through sand yellow upholstery and curtains, as can be seen in Stripe & Dash.

Which patterns and colours go well with yellow fabric?

Vanessa has teamed Sand yellows with Pigeon and Cornflower blues, counterbalancing the warmth of the yellow with the cool of the blues. So, plenty of colours to build the scheme around in your sitting rooms and halls with cushions, curtains, lampshades and more. See our Made to Measure service for more information.
