You can live with the warm shades of yellow year around. Just add it throughout the rooms of your cottage home.

Where should you use a Yellow Color Scheme?
• Any room can have some shade of yellow depending on your preferences.
• If you live in a gray or cold climate most of the year, yellow is a great choice for you. It will make you feel happy and warm.
• Yellow is a great choice for kitchens as it brings a happy atmosphere to an active room.
• Remember to choose varying shades of yellow depending on your taste.
• Yellow comes in many different hues anywhere from a bright lemon shade to a rich earthy gold. Notice the different shades in these photos.

Did you know?
• Yellow is the first color that your eye will notice. If you want someone to notice your home, paint it yellow.
• While yellow has the ability to be cheerful and warming it can also cause anxiety. This will happen if you use yellow in a very bright shade.
• Make sure if you want very bright yellow, to use it as an accent or in a room which you pass through.
• Maybe a hallway or entrance is a perfect place for a brighter yellow.
• You are very safe using yellow if you use softer and creamier tones. I have personally used buttery and creamy yellow tones in my home and love the warmth and coziness it provides.

When should you not use a Yellow Color Scheme?

If you live in a hot climate. You may not want to use yellow or at least not a really vibrant one. Keep the yellow soft, or you will just feel hotter.

Otherwise you can't really go wrong with shades of yellow. Just play around with varying hues, and you will find the perfect palette that is right for you.
