Oh, do we ever have ideas for you! Whether you’re ready to do a major overhaul of your home’s color scheme or you just want to add a few accents that will help keep your home looking up-to-date and stylish, here are some suggestions you can use:
Re-Do Your Doors
You don’t have to use the two colors together to get on board with the trends, and Illuminating Yellow is a great color for your doors. Because it is a soft yellow, it won’t seem garish — but it will convey a sense to your visitors that they are welcome and that your hospitality is always warm.Illuminating Yellow may be particularly pretty (and stylish) on your doors if you already have a gray exterior on your home. If so, consider adding Ultimate Gray on some accent pieces, like your lighting fixtures, mailbox or planters for a little added “oomph” and style.
Update the Bathroom
Ultimate Gray would be a gorgeous base for a bathroom. Because it is so basic and neutral, you won’t be taking a risk if you choose to use it on more permanent fixtures, like your backsplash around the shower or tub and your tiles on the floor.Illuminating Yellow need not be left out, however, even though yellow can never be considered a neutral. You can add splashes of warmth and joy throughout the bathroom through the use of this color in your towels, your countertop accessories and your rugs.
Create a Classic Kitchen
If your kitchen cabinets have seen better days or the color on your walls seems a bit dated, you can easily brush over it all with Ultimate Gray and then accent with Illuminating Yellow and other yellows for a cheerful ambiance that your family will love.Paint the kitchen chairs yellow, hang yellow curtains and add a few yellow dish towels to unify the look for a fashionable presentation that is always pleasant and graceful. You can even add yellow in more creative ways by updating your dishware or adding a few pieces of artwork with sunflowers or other yellow accents.
Enhance Any Room with Mixed Fabrics
Both Ultimate Gray and Illuminating Yellow are inherently soft and soothing tones, so why not layer them together in any room through the use of fabric?If the base color of a room already works with the two shades, you can quickly and easily update your entire look by adding gray and yellow throws or a quilt with a pattern that combines the two colors. Add a few throw pillows in the same color scheme to your couches and replace those out-dated curtains with some gorgeous, pale yellow sheers that will help keep your room beautiful and bright.
You can generally add gray and yellow to most neutral color schemes, but don’t rule them out as accent colors if you updated your walls with one of the dark blues that were popular at the start of 2020. They can be used together very easily.
Start Small and Build Up
What if you aren’t sure about how these two colors make you feel? In that case, make gradual changes to your home’s decor, like painting over that accent wall in your hallway in Illuminating Yellow to see how you like it after a month or two. If it still makes your heart sing every time you see it, go ahead and make bolder changes to bigger spaces.One of the most important things you can remember when it comes to color and your home is that color trends do come and go — but you have to live in your space. Until you decide how a color makes you feel, it’s best to start small before you totally remodel or renovate.
