Yellow + House Doctor = Lemon bliss

We received a big delivery* from House Doctor DK which gives me butterflies each time.
Our new arrivals include these colourful yarns, a quirky Owl lamp and who forgot to order the shades that go with it!! (ME!..duhh!), some gorgeous hooks and this Pipe light!

Now the Pipe light in yellow really fired up my imagination because he reminded me one gorgeous shots styled by Shane Powers which Holly featured on Decor8.

Having worked last week on a soft, feminine, boho workspace for our catalogue, I thought it would be nice today to look at achieving a feel-good workspace around yellow...

It is up to you if you want to paint a whole wall in yellow to create a feature but I think yellow, although very cheerful, is a tough colour and it can be tricky to find the hue of yellow that will really work with the natural light in your home. However, it is very easy to inject touches of yellow and achieve a feel-good mood around your workspace.
You can put together a little moordboard like Leslie with fabrics, images of things you're dreaming of (i.e. this CV lust-have clutch bag)

Or simply paint an old picture frame in yellow and add a few lemon touches with pretty art prints and illustrations on your wall.

Or you can paint an old chair found in a second-hand shop and add more masculine accessories so that the space works for you and your hubby. The London weekend print is similar to the one above and the clip-on light by House Doctor will work as a treat!
