Hues You Can Use: Get Happy By Design With Yellow

The color of the year may be green and many people are crushing on indigo (self included!!) -- but one color continuing to still be a strong color choice for home decor accents is yellow! One of the easiest ways to wake up a space and  refresh your home is to change out the accessories. A painted piece or new pillows and a throw can make a world of a difference. Since yellow is the happiest color, is it any wonder that yellow continues to be a strong color choice in home decor? And depending on its hue - yellow can take you through the seasons with a smile - A little lighter lemon zest works well for Spring and Summer - A little deeper and yellow becomes golden paired with brown for Fall.

Here are some more inspirational ways to welcome yellow happiness into your home...
