In the ever-evolving world of interior design, one colour is staging an unexpected comeback, and it’s set to make our homes feel decidedly suitable for the season ahead. We’re talking, of course, about yellow, the sun-kissed hue reminiscent of warm rays and optimism. This colour brings with it an air of positivity and happiness and now, versions of it seem to be making their way back into the homes of discerning design-lovers who want to cultivate something different in their spaces. As always, any dramatic decisions pertaining to colour are always best made after consulting the experts at Resene, who offer a vast array of yellow hues which can be tailored perfectly to suit any kind of space.
