Contemporary White and Yellow Decor Style
To help balancing a bright yellow wall, you can use any neutral colors, and white can do the job very well. As you can see on our design above where we created a contemporary style living room using white and yellow colors scheme.
You can use any decor style as well, but in our opinion, minimalist and contemporary are the best choice if you want to go with white and yellow.
To make the yellow element spread nicely through the room, we add some yellow accent on the furniture and decor items, such as a beautiful yellow throw pillow and a solid yellow rug.
This is important to make the yellow color integrated perfectly with the entire room decor. Avoid using yellow only at the wall as it would make it looks weird.
