Hint From Nature - Yellow & Green

I'm back with my Colour Combinations series - apologies about not doing last Mondays' but what with Easter and the public holidays I missed it...so here I am now.

With all this footage covering the Wedding in London, I noticed the abundance of flowers all over the City in particular yellow flowers and it got me thinking about the use of yellow and green in interiors. It's not a widely used combination but none the less it is one that works...let's take our cue from nature. If it works outside then its going to work inside.



I love the subtlety of the yellow here with the hint of orange as a little zing. The sofa colour is sublime.



 Daffodils - the flower of spring (in Europe anyway!) These bright greens and yellows here have a real joyful effect in a bright and cheery way.


Doesn't this wallpaper give the bedroom a REAL wow factor. Amazing! The flower is so bold and strong in size but also quite subdued and I believe this is achieved in the tone of the yellow and green - it isn't in your face at all.




This bathroom is so warm and welcoming with the buttercup yellow cabinetry and sage green walls.
