Give your room a vibrant look with a statement sofa in lemon yellow, lay a multi-coloured printed rug or arrange a selection of glass bottles and vases in varying colours to hint at this trend. Go crazy or keep it subtle, it’s up to you.
Furniture should be sleek and simple, either in one bright colour or in light tones of wood like bamboo or white melamine, adding pops of colour through accessories.

Breathe life and light into tired decor with this year’s on trend colour – yellow.

With so many hues to choose from, to use in decorating or home accessories, yellow is colour to bring a fresh invigorating look. It sits well against greys and compliments metallics including copper. 

Have a peak at Habitat’s collation of the best of yellow currently in store.

home: made [ book organisation by colour ] 

  

Whether people roll their eyes or ridicule the effort, they can’t deny that organising (visual merchandising ) your book shelves by colour (or colour blocking) looks good.

It’s about realising that books are as an important feature as any other piece of homeware. As they often take up such a significant space on a wall in the home, why not make them visually pleasing. They will add to the styling of a room and can aid bringing a colour theme to a room. 

  
Apart from looking well styled, it’s actually often a very useful way to find books, as many the human brain can work well with remembering colours (associated with a book cover and spine)  as opposed to names or authors to find the sought after book. 

The simplest way to create this look is to start with bare shelves and work out your plan of colour order. Colours should blend into each other i.e. Black into grey into white into yellow into orange into red into pink into purple into blue into green, with tones of each colour helping to blend the look. It can help to create piles of matching coloured books first to give yourself an idea of the amount of each colour and how much room they’ll need. It will envolve a little bit of trial and error but there are many images on google for inspiration as well as design blogs giving ideas.
