Perfect for a dopamine hit, yellow can make a cool, north-facing room feel instantly warmer and more cheerful. Though if not done right, the zinginess of certain yellows can provide an unwanted energy hit. Neon luminous yellow in a bedroom? No thank you.

Depending on the shade, yellow can appear fresh and clean (think buttermilk), or by using a spicier shade (like ochre), create a more period feel. But finding the perfect shade for your space does need a lot of consideration.
