How to use yellow wallpaper
Yellow brings light into rooms that lack it: a hallway, a stairwell, a kitchen or breakfast room that faces the wrong way. The trick is the shade. Ochre and mustard are grown-up, sit beautifully with grey, navy and dark timber, and are the yellows most of this collection is built on; clear lemon is harder to live with on a large wall. Use yellow on one wall or as the ground of a small pattern, and keep the trim white so it stays fresh.
Where to start
Of the designs on this page, the ones ordered over the last twelve months, in any colourway, were two Sandberg stripes, Estelle and Sam, and the most sampled was Casamance's plain Argile. Casamance holds almost half the page, largely through its ochre and gold textures. Yellow by style: floral and kids' wallpaper. Neighbouring colours: orange and gold.
Can I get a sample first?
Yes. A4 samples are A$10 each plus A$5 postage within Australia, A$18 to New Zealand and A$35 elsewhere, sent by letter mail and usually with you within a week. Colour is the one thing a screen cannot settle, so we recommend it.
