Yellow wallpaper is one of the most effective colours for brightening a dark or north-facing room. Here's how to choose the right shade - for anything else, see our full Wallpaper FAQs.
From buttery and sunshine yellow through to rich ochre, mustard and golden tones.
Warm, golden yellows suit a north-facing room best, adding the warmth the light lacks.
In a south-facing room, which already has abundant natural light, a slightly more muted yellow prevents the space from feeling overly bright or intense.
Rich mustard and ochre yellows pair naturally with teal - or sage or olive greens.
Brighter yellow wallpapers sit well against warm neutrals and natural wood or contrasted with navy blue, greys or charcoal.
The kitchen has the deepest design history with yellow, and it remains a strong choice for the room.
Yellow wallpaper also performs well in a dining room, where its energising quality encourages conversation and makes the space feel sociable.
Richer hues of Mustard are beautiful in spaces we want to feel welcoming and timeless such as a living room.
