Trend Alert: Sunny Yellow Kitchens, 10 Favorites

August 7, 2020

Noticed and admired of late: bright-spot kitchens in shades of turmeric, mustard, and marigold. Here are 10 standouts ranging in style from urban contemporary to vintage beach cottage, all accented in invitingly warm and sunny—and decidedly not mellow—yellows.

Above: Our own Justine Hand’s 1807 Cape Cod cottage came with its egg-yolk yellow kitchen—it’s the one room Justine left as is; she simply touched up the paint. “Yellow,” Justine says, “is so hard to get right I might not have been so daring if this hadn’t been here, but I’m glad it was.” 

The house stars in our first book, Remodelista: A Manual for the Considered Home. Also see more in The Soulful Side of Old Cape Cod. Photograph by Matthew Williams for Remodelista.
