Butter Yellow Meets Lilac Purple

Perhaps you already know? According to Johannes Itten's classic color wheel, violet and yellow are directly opposite each other, creating a vibrant contrast. Even if you don't have a natural flair for interior design, you absolutely cannot go wrong with home accessories in these two shades, and you'll immediately achieve a harmonious overall look.

At Dekoora, it's important to us that trends can be implemented easily and affordably in your home - because who has the means to regularly restyle their entire apartment? That's why you'll find both yellow posters and purple posters with us. Mix and match as you like, or make it easy on yourself and choose a Dekoora wall art that already combines both colors.

A Match Made in Heaven: Butter Yellow & Bordeaux Red

The more we look at this combination, the more we fall in love with it. Butter yellow looks particularly harmonious with dark red – but why is that? The summery light yellow is considered cheerful, gentle and calm, but without a contrasting color, it can sometimes appear too sweet. For a strong contrast, we recommend styling Butter Yellow with Bordeaux Red for a modern look. And just like that, the perception of the creamy hue is instantly transformed! Conversely, the red also benefits from the light yellow, as it appears less massive.

Furniture in butter yellow looks great next to a dark red mural, but this color combination can also be perfectly implemented with textiles. Try combining pastel yellow linen with a burgundy rug, or keep an eye out for suitable red and yellow patterned mix cushions. You can also create exciting accents with wall art from our category Red Posters, which perfectly complement the Butter Yellow trend. Oh, and psst... it's no coincidence that the color Cherry Red is also super trendy right now. That's why we've dedicated a separate article to it in the Dekoora Magazine with exciting interior design tips. Take a look and see for yourself that Cherry Red is a true interior design artist - not just in the bedroom!
