How to pick a colour scheme for your kitchen
BUTTER YELLOW
Mellow yet uplifting, butter yellow is here to spread warm, sunny vibes.
Bored of beige? Weary of white? Meet your new go-to neutral – butter yellow. This soft, creamy shade has all the cheer of sunshine with none of the intensity of bold yellow. Imagine golden late-summer light, freshly churned butter, and a gentle glow that makes a space feel instantly happier.
A butter yellow colour scheme will bring a joyful energy to every room in the house. A nostalgic colour that’s also bang on-trend, butter yellow walls balance brilliantly with mid to dark-toned wooden floors and wrap up the room in extra softness when paired with a light-coloured carpet. Add in woven textures like rattan, linen, or boucle to keep the look soft and sunny yet grounded.

This grand hallway proves butter yellow walls are perfect for creating a warm, welcoming first impression as soon as you step through the door. Paired with rich wood flooring and a stair runner, the soft yellow brings out the warmth in the timber tones and antique furniture. It's a timeless and traditional look, with panelling, gallery wall portraits, and dark wood accents giving the whole scheme a heritage feel.

This cosy cottage kitchen shows how well butter yellow walls work as a frame, with the archway drawing the eye through to the cream cabinets and rich dark wood flooring. Perfect for quick, low-budget kitchen update, it's a clever way to bring colour into a transitional space.
