Palette // How to use yellow

lemon yellow + white + white wood + Nordic touches for paint and textiles (polar blue, wild rose pink, frosty green) + simple geometric patterns (diamonds, stylised vintage flowers, kinetic effect)

colour block yellow + white + rosa pink (a girly pink with the same intensity as fuchsia but more original) + printed fabrics with small multicoloured patterns, stripes or checks…

vanilla yellow + browns, tans and leather + touches of emerald green + dark wood

colour block yellow + khaki/olive palette + dark greys + grey wood

Deep down, we all love yellow but don't always know how to incorporate it into our interiors. So we've asked Sophie Hélène, a colour specialist, for her expert advice. Each to their own!
