Bold, bright and beautiful: yellow furniture

Yellow is the colour of creativity, positive energy and clear thinking. Use yellow furniture to brighten your home and introduce a playful touch, instantly adding warmth and vibrancy to the room.


Different shades of yellow are able to evoke different feelings to suit various rooms throughout the home. For the livelier areas of the house such as the living room, bright yellow is a great way to spur energy. Similarly, in the kitchen, it can encourage the kind of creativity that will inspire you and help you to wake up happy in the morning. Softer hues can encourage peace and calm in the quieter areas of your home, such as the bedroom or home library.

Golden yellow is also a wonderful tool for injecting a splash of colour in darker environments or even rooms built around a monochrome theme. It pairs perfectly with black and greys by breaking up the colour scheme, preventing it from feeling heavy or imposing. This effect can be achieved by something as simple as yellow cushions on a charcoal sofa, or a yellow throw against dark linen, but larger changes, such as the introduction of yellow shelving and storage pieces against a black wall, are also a brilliant investment.

Kids’ rooms

Your children will really love bright golden yellow toy storage pieces that they can interact with and use for themselves. Combine the yellow storage pieces with white walls and other soft-toned decorations for an environment that’s conducive to exploration and learning. Add other pieces of furniture in complementary colours to create a stimulating environment for early childhood.

The living room

Inject a bit of fun into your living spaces with sideboards, shelving, or a coffee table built with yellow USM Haller pieces. Keep it creative with a mixture of open shelving for books, CDs and vinyl as well as closed lockable compartments for valuables and other accoutrements. Complete the look with yellow accents throughout the room: cushions, curtains, or pillows.

The kitchen and dining room

Make the kitchen or dining room table a destination the whole family can’t wait to flock to with a yellow dining table. Complete the look with elegant storage for glassware and crockery in a soft white for easy elegance.

The home office and library

Create a home working environment that you’ll want to return to every day with bright and buoyant yellow furniture that encourages concentration and playful thought. Yellow desks, shelving, or under-desk storage pair beautifully with black or grey furnishings and decor; continue the cheerful tone with comfortable soft furnishings such as bean bags.
