In Feng Shui, using the color yellow for your home enhances "warmth and happiness." The jovial color instantly bursts delight in a dark colored room. Although yellow is not a popular choice for painting the walls of a home, there are ways that this color can be worked out.
Houzz suggests tips on how you can integrate the color yellow in the bathroom.
1. Consider Where To Use The Color Yellow
Yellow varies where it will work best. Check first if your bathroom receives ample lighting, the intensity or amount of lighting it receives coordinates what tint of yellow paint to use. If your bathroom receives more light then you can use a brighter shade of yellow, if not use a mellow hue of yellow. It was also suggested to only use this color in "one or two" walls to accentuate it the best.
2. Use Yellow For Detailing A Room
Some home depot stores already include bold colored furniture and fixtures that come in the yellow color. These pieces are a great addition to your vanity especially if your bathroom is in neutral tone or in plain dark color. Try including a mirror or a bathroom cabinet in full blast yellow color.
3. Create Synergy and Balance with the Color Yellow
The color yellow can also blend in perfectly with other materials like wood and marble. The key for this move is finding the right color that will create this balanced look for the room. Usually pale yellows or "soft golden yellows" work best for this scheme.
4. Go Bold Using Patterns
Yellow is a tricky color to use in interiors but what you can do is choose patterns that blends in yellow with neutrals to minimize its brightness. BHG proposes using a "yellow-on-yellow" lattice wallpaper for this. Although the pattern itself is vibrant, it doesn't eat out the overall look of the place.
5. Perk Up the Room with Yellow Accessories
If you're not that convinced in using yellow for your walls or other bathroom fixtures, try going small and buy towels, vases, or even display fresh flowers in yellow color. These could still add interesting details on your bathroom.
