Lighting Your Home: Yellow

Yellow can be a real challenge---too bright, and you're regretting it every day, too mellow, and you're finding ways to bring in that pop of yellow you were hoping for. Lighting your home in yellow is one of the best ways to bring in the yellow, and still keep your sanity.

Benjamin Moore's Weston Flax is a brilliant shade of yellow. It is pale, yet still delivers. I happen to love it. We have a shade of yellow called "Pale Buttercup" that pairs well with Benjamin Moore's Weston Flax. To punch it up, pair the Pale version with the standard "Buttercup", as we did below. Happy days are returning, the popularity of yellow in the home is proof. :)

Here are my quick picks for yellow lighting. Try any of these in your home or restaurant when your design calls for yellow.
