Produced by Molly Power
"Daffodil yellow is warm and
inviting and has a youthful attitude. What could be more welcoming in a
foyer? For a 1950s house, I chose this classic paper from the David Hicks
collection by Clarence House because of its vintage yet timeless
appeal. With superwhite trim, it really pops," says designer Meg Braff.
Inspirations: John Fowler, Nancy Lancaster, and
Sister Parish.
Use it with: Chocolate brown, black, red, or
turquoise for a bold look; white or other yellows for a softer look.
Avoid: Other primary colors. Your room could wind up
looking like a crayon box.
How to use it: Bring a tired piece of upholstery back
to life with yellow glazed chintz. Or create an elegant living room with
yellow silk curtains and white walls.
Who's using it: Oscar de la Renta, Carolina Herrera,
and Tory Burch went wild for this color in their spring and resort
collections, and there are many yellow handbags on the shelves this spring
-- although it is a perennial favorite at Kate Spade.
