All I can say is that Yellow is so hot right now! It seems that everyone I speak to - customers, peers, colleagues and friends are smitten with the colour in every shade and in every context. Although tangerine has been chosen as the 2012 colour of the year, it sometimes takes a little moment for these trends to filter down through to the Australian interiors markets. So here's my prediction 2012 is the year of the Yellow. Sunshine, lemon, mustard and canary - you name it, they'll want it. I think also with times of uncertainty we reach out subliminally for visual indicators to lift our spirits and give us hope. Yellow is the perfect colour for this, creating an instant physical reaction in our psyche's of happiness and delight. Personally I'm a killer fan for a silvery grey, black, white and yellow colour scheme, but with the strong trends in colour blocking that are around try teaming yellow with orange, fuscia, emerald and azure. Play around, be adventurous and come up with an infusion of yellow in your home that suits you! I've included some of my favourite examples of injecting yellow into your life - enjoy! xx

(what a simple and easy way to make a dramatic entrance! Love the idea of a bold colour for the front door and this yellow door makes me just want to knock and say 'HELLO!')

(I'm a HUGE fan of an animal print and these raspberry red cheetah print cushions teamed with the mustard zebra stripe mattress make me wanna scream!)

(Upcycling is the greatest trend going on in our industry at the moment. These revamped stools show that interior style can be cheap and chic without scrimping on quality. Pair upcycled pieces with eye catching and unique designer furnishings to create a wonderfully eclectic and multi dimensional space in your home. )
