Here we have three Scandinavian style homes that use happy notes of bright sunshine yellow in varying proportions. The first two homes take a subtle approach with the accent colour, limiting the arrangement in each room to just one or two examples. Such as a sofa, a small unit, or just one statement shelf. In contrast, our third and final home tour goes all out with an entire kitchen glowing in the summery hue. It seems there is no limit when it comes to injecting a favourite colour into a home decor scheme, whether you tiptoe around it or saturate an entire area. Which style would you choose?

In the neighbouring utility room we take a break from the sunny colour. Instead, influence has been taken from the rich shade of the indoor house plants. The walls are painted in a deep shade of emerald green. The small room scheme can handle the darkness of this hue thanks to very large windows where natural light pours in.
The shower room off the kitchen sings with neat Scandi style. A compact yellow vanity unit is mounted off the floor, coupled with a yellow framed mirror. The bright pieces are balanced out by plain white surroundings and another deep green little house plant. The rattan
