Everything comes in waves and yellow is riding on a tidal wave of popularity at the moment. ‘Warmth will come from yellow this year,’ says Patrick O'Donnell, colour consultant and brand ambassador at Farrow & Ball, reflecting on the colours to know for this year and given the influx of yellow rooms that continue to dominate the pages of House & Garden, he's certainly not wrong.

‘Yellow is the colour of optimism, of courage, of joie de vivre, of summer holidays, the emoji keyboard and books about happiness,’ says Pandora Sykes and it's currently also the colour of the moment. Yellow living rooms are all the rage and yellow kitchens have been quietly picking up pace over the years. It's not surprising as yellow can add a dose of sunshine to any space and the spectrum of choice, from bright acid yellow to rich egg yolk tones and buttery, creamy colours is as appealing as it comes. Below, we've put together a handful of yellow paint ideas to inspire your next project.

The kitchen layout and cabinetry in this London townhouse was designed by Laura Parkinson and made by Martin Moore. The wall units are painted Brun de Cassel, while the island is Jaune de Verone, both are by Argile. The stately, freestanding cabinet concealing the fridge features a curved top which echoes the shape of the windows that are original to this style of Edwardian house. For the island, Belgian blue limestone was chosen to create a contrast. The wall and pendant lights with ceramic shades are all by DeVol.

In a classical Hampstead house decorated by Powell Tuck, ‘Willow’ wallpaper by Morris & Co in yellow, from the Queen Square collection by Ben Pentreath, and curtains in Morris & Co’s ‘Acorn’ create a timelessly elegant backdrop in the sitting room, which has retained many of its period features. Bespoke bookcases painted in Farrow & Ball’s ‘India Yellow’ were built into the recesses on either side of the fireplace.

Joint managing director of Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler chose a bright yellow (Papers and Paints’ ‘Imperial Chinese Yellow’) for the drawing room of his Somerset house. The colour sets off curtains in ‘Carriage Cloth’ in petrol and a sofa in ‘Palma Damask’ in blue, both from Claremont, and floral cushions in Le Manach’s ‘Mortefontaine’ in gris.
‘It started off with neutral shades,’ he explains, ‘and then a friend, the interior designer Lucinda Griffith, came to stay one weekend and said that the colour made her feel like she was underwater. So out of devilment, I decided to do a yellow room just to see if I could pull it off.’ Unsurprisingly, he says, the heritage of Nancy Lancaster’s Yellow Room at Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler’s old headquarters on Brook Street, W1, was in his mind. ‘But I also wanted to try to put to bed my fear of certain colour combinations. I knew that I wouldn’t end up with something drab at any rate.’

Lucy Cunningham's Hampshire cottage</a> is painted in <a href=https://www.houseandgarden.co.uk/"https://www.atelierellis.co.uk/store/p/sadhika/" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">‘Sadhika' by Atelier Ellis</a>. ‘It's one of the nicest yellows I have come across,’ says Lucy. ‘It's rich and warm without being too overpowering or strong, and it looks equally good in the day as well as the night where it becomes a little darker and moodier. I painted the skirting and ceiling in <a href=https://www.houseandgarden.co.uk/"https://www.edwardbulmerpaint.co.uk/product/natural-paint/spanish-white//" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">“Spanish White” by Edward Bulmer</a>, which is a softer white and not too stark. I didn’t want the white to look too bright against the yellow - more of a soft addition.

The sitting room in Lucy Cunningham's Hampshire cottage is painted in ‘Sadhika' by Atelier Ellis. ‘It's one of the nicest yellows I have come across,’ says Lucy. ‘It's rich and warm without being too overpowering or strong, and it looks equally good in the day as well as the night where it becomes a little darker and moodier. I painted the skirting and ceiling in “Spanish White” by Edward Bulmer, which is a softer white and not too stark. I didn’t want the white to look too bright against the yellow - more of a soft addition. This is probably my favourite room in the house - yellow is such a happy colour!’

For Sarah Peake of Studio Peake, her first ever solo project was an opportunity to test out her ingenuity by transforming a tiny Georgian cottage in London without stripping it out entirely.. The sitting room is painted in a cheerful custom shade of yellow from Papers and Paints, and warmed up with plenty of patterned textiles.
Wiltshire farmhouse</a>, designer Sarah Vanrenen has enhanced its quirky charm, with an adjusted layout and unexpected colours. Eye-catching pieces hold their own against the bright walls. The large mirror and sofa were both inherited by Sarah's husband Grant and she made shades for the <a href=https://www.houseandgarden.co.uk/"https://www.vaughandesigns.com//" rel=\"nofollow\">Vaughan</a> wall lamps in an ikat fabric.

Known for their restoration of historic buildings in Scotland, conservation architects Nick Groves-Raines and Kristin Hannesdottir relished the challenge of saving Lamb's House in Leith, where they now live and work. In an attic room, the box bed is painted in Farrow & Ball's 'India Yellow'. The unexpected colour choice adds further interest to the quirky sleeping space.
