1. Add Hero Furniture
Brighten up your living area with a hero couch in vibrant yellow or saffron. Warm textiles are a great way to introduce the colour and update your look without it being overwhelming.
Yellow is the colour of sunflowers, lemons, and sunshine, which makes it the perfect pigment for your home. It also stimulates mental and physical energy, which makes it ideal for the spaces where you want to be your most active and productive.
