Steal This Look: Springlike Yellow Living Room

From Julie

A reader wrote asking for more color; we like this casual living room with a single wall painted bright mustard yellow, with cheerful botanical-green accents. Photo by Tom Leighton, via Desire to Inspire.

I too have been wondering why modernism minimalism was getting so depressing. I always try to channel Calder when I think this. Love the yellow wall and the raw texture of it.

So nice & fresh!

Wow, what a beautiful space. That one yellow wall really pops when set against a fairly basic color palette. And the furniture is beautiful, so midcentury.
