When dealing with modern design, it is easy to fall victim to the tyranny of neutrals. A room all in white seems so clean and chic. But when designers are able to include a few splashes of marvelous bright color, that is when a room can really come alive. Take a look at the four apartments featured here from Yo Dezeen, AvA Studio, mg design uk, and AR Studio.
Our first burst of yellow comes to us from the design team at Yo Dezeen.
In a home with largely classic architecture, adding an irregular yellow panel is shockingly modern .
The designers have also pulled the color in by painting this of-the-moment skull in the same shade, uniting the two sides of the room.
Other major features in the apartment tend towards neutral, starting with this gray sectional that looks super comfortable.
The yellow panel sits off center from the television, making the visual much more interesting.
Without the yellow paneling, this image makes it easy to see how otherwise plain the room might feel.
Massive shelving units add a bit of practicality while the black entryway nearly disappears into the wall.
The molding in the walls acts as its own frame for the yellow skull.
In another marriage of classic and modern, this very vintage looking dining table pairs with ultra modern lucite chairs.
Here’s a perspective that completely eliminates the yellow, for a chilled out dining experience.
Trendy light fixtures finish our look at this apartment.
The second apartment we’ll look at comes from AvA Studio.
Rather than focusing on the walls, this team has brought this mustard yellow color in using furniture, starting with this awesome minimalist chair.
The yellow chair and throw play into the idea of gold on the wall without matching up exactly.
A cushy gray bedroom contrasts nicely with another mustard chair.
Here, yellow makes for a sunny morning every morning with this bright headboard and bed combination.
Our third Say Yes to Yellow apartment comes from the design tea at mg design uk.
It is interesting to note this apartment also uses yellow for upholstery and pillows, but also brings in a bit in the side table and wall art.
Despite the multiple appearances, we never feel overwhelmed by the bright color.
The varied textures, from the plush rug to the cushy sofa and the shiny coffee table make this home feel comfortable and welcoming.
And every detail, including these adorable bird sculptures, has been accounted for.
Finally, we come to a big modern space with designs from AR Studio.
The use of yellow here is quite subtle. The treatment of it makes it feel much more neutral that you might expect.
Mostly, we see simple gray and black.
Careful placement of yellow pillows draws the eye for just a moment.
And yellow dining chairs are perfect for welcoming guests.
The soft texture makes the mustard color pretty and inviting.
