Brighten the Corner Where You Are
Okay, it’s been gray, cloudy and rainy for the past few days here in Michigan and I can tell my mood is not its normal bouncy self, so what to do? Well, I’m going to do what designer David Bromstad of HGTV’s “Color Splash” says “If it’s rainy outside and I see someone in a bright yellow raincoat, it just brightens my mood” and I have to agree, if you need to brighten your mood, your living room, your kitchen or for that matter any room in your home, why not try yellow (and specifically why not try a yellow rug?)
When working with yellow this season remember the whole room does not have to be yellow and more specifically the whole area rug does not have to be yellow. I mean it can be, but it most certainly does not HAVE to be. Current trends in yellow are vibrant and saturated, these yellows work well in a dark room or kitchen and pair well with slate blues or soft pinks (this tones them down and makes them manageable)
Yellow in your room can be the main attraction as an energy booster, or it can play a more supporting part of a warm and buttery back drop. Yellow blends well with natural wood tones creating an earthy effect, or with a classic grey to create a more sophisticated look. If you want to add energy and punch to a room, try pairing your yellow with a red or green, if you need to tone it down use more neutral tones.
Take this lovely hand-tufted traditional rug from Safavieh, it takes a deep rich yellow and punches it up with a red, adding life and energy. This rug would look great in a north facing library, giving the room the energy it needs to make it through a gray winter.
Now, how about the Fruit Medley rug from Safavieh to add yellow, energy, vibrancy to a kitchen or breakfast nook? This is the perfect way to brighten these rooms for the winter months (well any month at that) and give you the happy energy in the morning when most of us need it.
Okay, here’s an example of a more subdued buttery yellow that can act as the supporting player in the room while still adding warmth and charm. The Spring Meadow rug from CMI gives you lovely braided look (that can easily translate from traditional to casual) in a soft chenille finish. This rug would make the perfect back drop to pale blues and grays.
As you can see Rugs to My Door gives you many options to include yellow into your pallet this season. And as always if you need help finding just the perfect area rug, our customer care specialists are standing by ready to help.
