Dining room ideas in Yellow !

As said, after doing up living room in yellow I am back with some lovely ideas to use yellow in the most loved space in your home. Yellow is such a vibrant and fun color that using in any room brings in lots warmth and cheer. It blends beautifully with white and a whole range of colors to be among some very versatile. Use it a little or oodles of it, go for the perfect balance for yourself.

Dining room designs in Yellow !

This is for someone who loves to build memories piece by piece with lots of love and memories for posterity. Its lovely in the way the sunlight filters through the window lightning the whole room with white popping againt the pale yellow. I have said before and this bears again how yellow fits in so well with so many colors, the right shade of yellow is the biggest decision you may have to make.

I love the popping pink in the room with dashes of green.So fresh and lovely !

This dining room is in ivory and yellow, with red and green accents thrown in. totally love the hardware on the hutch and the beautiful porcelain. If you really wish to use yellow to its best affect use it in a sunny room, its just to amazing how the room looks to cheerful and fun with light shining in.

This look is specially cool because the walls are a neutral ivory shade and yellow is used only on one piece of furniture. This leaves a lot of scope for redoing the room in other shades as your heart wills, without the pain of repainting the walls.

Yet another dining room which is super elegant and stylish. Everything in this room is hand picked with care and goes to add to the complete effect of the room. The dashes of black in the ivory and pale yellow is the defining factor, see how the black crystal chandelier immediately draws attention.

The shabby chic table among all the beautiful pieces is such an interesting choice and it blends in so beautifully.

After the expensive look above, this look so much more cheerful and fun :) I am soo partial to this ! The vintage looking chairs and milk glass lamp with retro china and glass, I could snag all of them if I could. The look is simple and has a lot of impact. It is carefully chosen and each piece is radiating with positive energy.

I would absolutely love to do up my room like this if there was enough sunlight streaming in.

If painting furniture or wall in yellow is too difficult a decision to make, try with simple elements. How about a table setting in yellow to see if you fall in love with it? As I have said before, yellow is very versatile and a lot of colors go with it beautifully. Choose your shade carefully and you will love it !

If there are any other color you would love to see home design in, leave me a message and I would love to do it too !

Living room ideas in Yellow !

I am so in love with yellow with summer around. Bright and sunny with lots of energy and positive vibe! How about a good look at different ways you can use yellow in your homes, I came across some beautiful designs for all different rooms which beg to be shared :)

Yellow is my favourite specially because it uplifts my mood immediately, who can resist the charm of  sunlight and the immediate warmth (a brighter shade) to the cool lemony. With a hint of green, white or even black (!) give yourself a chance to experience the beautiful color. I here present to you my pick of home ideas in yellow.

Living room designs in Yellow

I like this arrangement for the beautiful mix of colors and the elegance in it. With yellow as the dominant color there is an eclectic mix of red, green, blue, pink and even the golden from the mirror frame. This just goes to show how well yellow allows accent colors to play up. The room looks beautiful with white and yellow and the natural light streaming in.

My favourite are the lovely yellow patterned cushion on the love seat and chair, instant makeover for any room :)

Yellow is a versatile color and blends beautifully with white and black and looks stunning if the mix is right. With just two colors (white and black) this room looks uncluttered yet a very polished and elegant. The white just pops out against the walls while the black adds the sense of drama to  it.

This is a look which is so easy to achieve, keep this as your reference for a stunning look for your living room.

Another layout and expansive room but the color mix remains the same. White and yellow,with a little of back/brown for accent. Simple and clutter free. It has a zen affect. The accents, bottles and vase and the painting all of them mimic the yin and yang with yellow as a muted background.

A unique living room with very interesting elements here.

This next picture is one of my fav for the lovely shades of yellow in it. The pale muted yellow on the wall which shines with style, and the retro whimsical cage light. I love the whole look including the chair which is absolutely gorgeous with the multicolor swirl cushion on it.

The accents are just too cute and I love it !!

A dash of yellow can cheer up any room, from warm to elegant and the numerous shades of it, its just up to your creativity to make it your own. This sunny color goes well with almost all colors , from royal blue to lovely green to pale pink and the dramatic black and white.

I shall bring to you (next post) some designs for Dining room/space. This color is absolutely fantastic for this special space which holds warmth and some of the most beautiful memories for any family.

Wall clocks are an integral part of any home. This common piece of utility can also be interesting and stylish, adding the extra dose of oomph to your walls . Every piece chosen with care, keeping in mind functionality and purpose will surely make the interiors of the room more flattering!

Some of the parameters to be kept in mind when choosing are size, purpose and design. The variety of wall clocks are immense and with a little help from my selection of unique stylish wall clocks you might just find your own unique design.

Study and Home Office

This clock is just soo unique..place it on a shelf and it will masquerade as books and look into it for time. A totally fun and fabulous piece of art :) I would love to recommend it for study or home office. I think even teen's bedroom would be better off with something quite as special as this.

Living Room

Living room is a open and friendly place which reflects your personality to a great degree. There are a huge number of options available, but I have a better idea for using the walls ! The next three pictures show different styles of the same.

If you like things simple and yet elegant this could be the one. Would be perfect for a beach home, but anyone can get a piece of beach into their living room in this. Its so pristine in looks and stylish at the same time. My pick of a perfect clock for understated elegance.

The sea shells are so interesting in the clear background!

The novelty of having twelve little photo frames assembled as a clock is beautiful !!

The eccentric and fun ! Different views of a globe as markers will surely draw anyones attention..Go for it if its your personality !!

Dining Room

How about a clock for the dining room? With dining room clocks one can choose to place looks before convenience. With emphasis on aesthetics one can be creative and pick interesting designs. Here I have picked one a little on the crazy side and how well it reflects on the style and purpose of the room..Forks and spoons !?! The stainless steel sheen is uber cool and cheerful.

It is sure to be a conversation starter and appreciation guaranteed !


Kitchen

Kitchen clock are a little tricky to pick. It has to be easy to view and also hassle free. With a demanding surrounding of a kitchen a little cheer and sense of humor will surely be much appreciated. Who wouldn't love a cuppa hot tea/coffee to get away from the stress?

The design is super cute and the quirkiness is adorable !

Teen Bedroom

This clock is super cute ! Any one can so simple maths but for geeks this clock will be an extension to their personality. Ideal gift for someone maybe :)

How about upcycling your abandoned skateboard ? Its a memento from your childhood, add a simple clock mechanism to it and give it a new lease of life. Same can be used on many other surfaces too.

If space ships and future toys appeal to your boys than this is PERFECT !! The alien arms with bright lights are unconventional and spooky. The piece is so striking that it deserves a corner of its own.

I am sure butterflies clock in black and white or colorful will appeal to many girls. Good solution for a girl's bedroom.

Sun Room and Portico

I totally love this driftwood and shells clock. Perfect for outdoors and difficult to pass !

The carved metal wall decoration has a clock as well. I think it will add a lot of style and grace to any room. Iron makes it durable for a long time too.
