A symbol of life, positivity, and sunshine, yellow has been used since classical times to adorn both interiors and exterior walls. Many buildings in Alessandra’s hometown, Rome, are painted shades of yellow that age beautifully and contribute to the city’s eternal charm.

To make yellow shine in an interior, pay attention to the light.

Different yellows suit different climates and places. Warmer yellows are more northern. Cooler yellows like lemon yellow work well in tropic & subtropic climates. Lemon yellow looks great in Atlanta, but doesn't play as well in Rome, New York, or California.

✤ Warm Walls ✤

Alessandra's loves Babouche for the Rome-effect, while Citron functions beautifully in brighter, Southern states.

Yellow functions as a fun and sophisticated complement to more muted tones. Try it with grays, or use it on a pair of lampshades or pillows to update a room.
