The Saffron Color on Interior Design
Our delicious saffron isn’t just a pleasure to eat – but it also stands us in good stead for health and fitness. Saffron yellow is put to good use in fashion and art, too – a real all-rounder! So it’s no wonder that saffron yellow is also perfect when adding colour to our Home Sweet Homes.
Yellow, including saffron yellow, stands for zest for life, dynamic energy and happiness. It’s associated with the sun and shiny gold – features and properties we like to surround ourselves with and have in our homes.
Our tips:
Bringing saffron yellow accents into your home can be easily done by draping the settee with cushions and/or throws in saffron yellow or by putting down a saffron yellow rug. In the bedroom, bed linens in warm yellow create good moods. Tableware and table-cloths in saffron tones nicely decorate kitchen and table.
Bold people go for large pieces in this sunny colour, for example, a settee or armchair in saffron yellow. In the bathroom, yellow hand towels or bath mats are real eye-catchers.
Saffron-coloured curtains conjure a beautifully warm light with the sun shining through them. Speaking of light: try a lamp shade in saffron yellow – you will love the warm glow. You might also want to experiment with warm yellow light bulbs – creating a sunny atmosphere at home, even when the skies are grey.
Saffron yellow goes especially well with interiors in dark blue, cream and grey tones as well as black. Or combine it with warm spice range tones like cinnamon or paprika. That’s how to inject Mediterranean or Oriental accents. Deco tip: golden accessories like candle-sticks and vases are set off really well with saffron yellow. It’s best with wood flooring or coir carpets in neutral, natural tones, which let it radiate even more.
Outside, a parasol in saffron yellow transforms balcony and garden into a summer lounge. Our suggestion: lavishly decorated Balinese-style parasols are especially beautiful in yellow. Yellow chair cushions add cheerful highlights to any garden furniture. For extra appeal: yellow bouquets of flowers, and lanterns. Happy Living with saffron yellow!
