Yellow is one of the primary colors of the spectrum, and in addition, it is the brightest of them. It is warm and always evokes a feeling of warmth and the most positive associations. Wallpaper in yellow tones will always “save” the darkest room and fill it with light. According to psychologists, this color promotes active brain function, vigor and good mood.

Decoration of the hall and bedroom
It’s worth starting with the fact that yellow is quite an active color, and, as mentioned above, has a stimulating effect on our brain. Therefore, if you are relaxing in the hall after work, then the color of the wallpaper should be as pale as possible. Or you can choose a shade that is closest to beige, as in the photo. In this case, your vacation will be more complete.
Note: You should be very careful when choosing the color of furniture and accessories. They should not “shout out” the wall decoration. Otherwise, the result may be difficult for visual perception.

But the yellow wallpaper in the bedroom can be brighter - a little vigor and good mood in the morning will not hurt at all.

We spend a tiny amount of time in the corridors and hallways. Therefore, there is no need to think too much about how active or oppressive this or that color may be. This means that in the design of the corridor you can take some liberties regarding the choice of color.

Wall decoration and color combination
As you noticed when looking at the photo of the first part of the article, there is almost no ornament on the yellow wallpaper. And if you look at the catalog in the store, there won’t be a wide variety of designs there either. And the reason for this is not the price. The fact is that the color is bright in itself, and the drawing may simply become unnecessary. However, rarely does not mean “never”.
Wallpaper ornament options
What does not happen on yellow wallpaper for walls are huge, lurid flowers and monograms. What you see in the photo below can be considered the limit of the size and color intensity of the ornament. As a rule, this is not a large drawing, up to 10 cm in diameter, made with thin lines or without color at all, due to the texture. Line colors are white or shades of gray. If we talk about the types of ornaments, most often these are primitive floral ones - for example, roses or tulips, as well as floral and geometric designs.

The yellow color of textiles, ceilings or walls creates a feeling of comfort; such a room is always warm and light. This is an ideal solution for darkened rooms with windows facing north. A “blank” bathroom in this color visually becomes more spacious and lighter.
Other colors are better for sunny rooms. In winter it will be quite comfortable here, but in summer it is several times hotter than in other rooms.
Should you choose this color for your bedroom walls? Yes and no. On the one hand, this color will make the morning really cheerful, help you wake up without problems and start the day actively. On the other hand, in the evening, after a hard day, it will be difficult to relax in such a room.
Psychologists say that the color yellow in the interior is not suitable for people prone to depression and melancholy, as it can have a depressing effect on the psyche. Therefore, it makes sense to choose for the walls of the bedroom individual elements and accessories of this color, which, if necessary, can be closed, rearranged or put away in the closet. Or stick yellow wallpaper on only one wall. For others, choose sand, lavender, white or gray. But the bathroom will be ideal in this color - after all, this is where you come first every morning.
Since shades of yellow in the interior stimulate mental activity and improve performance, this is the design you should choose for a study or office.

What color should I pair yellow with? A real artist will answer without the slightest hesitation: with anyone. The only question is the color nuances and shades.
All shades of yellow are divided into warm and cold: for example, sand and orange are warm shades, and lemon is cold.
The design can be selected according to two principles: combine warm shades with other warm colors (brown or brick) or cool shades with cool tones (blue and mint green). The combination with juicy green is considered the most successful - this best option, if a bathroom or kitchen is being decorated. The tiles, floor and ceiling can be light green, and the furniture can be lemon (see photo). This design looks very modern and enlivening. Modern and ambitious people will like a bathroom in black and yellow tones. A bathroom that combines yellow and pink will charm young girls.
