From custard to mustard, gold to canary, buttercup to daffodil... sunny yellow is back in interiors fashion. It's hopeful, vibrant, fresh and zesty. So don't be shy, welcome a splash of upbeat sunshine into your life this spring.
Next time you're in the newsagent see if you can spot how many magazines catch your attention with yellow type. It instantly draws your eye.
It's a life-and-soul-of-the-party shade and boosts confidence and optimism wherever you add it.

Here's how to work the look...

• In the kitchen yellow works with spicy reds and burnt orange. Mix with lots of natural wood for an exotic effect.
• Mustard adds instant sophistication to a bedroom... it's the most restful yellow you can find. Mix with black, chocolate and cream for a luxe look that won't cost a fortune.
• For a traditional look infuse yellow into your home with splashes of pretty lemon flower-sprigged fabric or wallpaper.
• For a modern feel mix yellow with grey as an accent colour and get a look that's very now. It works well with colours that turn the volume down a notch or two. Experiment with mustard yellow and grape or plum colours.
• Go for gold to create a little drama. An accent wall in a deep gold will add warmth and shimmer in a living room or a bedroom.
• In a bedroom add touches of yellow to welcome in spring. Team yellow pillowcases to a white duvet set. Or a recover an old chair in a bold yellow pattered fabric. For inspiration lose yourself in the sumptuous Designers Guild website ... here are hundreds of ideas for country house chic and colour-drenched modern rooms.
• Use yellow in a dark room to make the space seem lighter and brighter.
