Planning a home makeover? Armed with this information, you can let your friends and family think you’re a trendsetter and use pastel yellow in your home before everybody else does.

Using pastel yellow in your home:

Pastel yellow is a lovely, versatile colour that’ll suit any room. Use your favourite shade to add a cheery splash of colour to your kitchen or living space. Or, choose it for a nursery or bedroom.

If you’re feeling bold, use pastel yellow liberally: paint your room’s four walls in the sunny shade. Not so sure? Keep your walls white and use pastel yellow as an accent colour throughout your accessories and furnishings.
