5 Ideas for Using Yellow Home Decor
1. Accent Wall
Embrace yellow as a focal point. Consider painting an accent wall in a rich golden yellow to add depth and visual interest to a room. Pair it with neutral furnishings and decor to let the yellow shine and take center stage.
2. Furniture
Choose a bold yellow sofa or armchair as the focal point of your living room, surrounded by complementary colors that enhance its vibrancy.
And you don’t have to break the bank to get a unique, yellow accent furniture piece. We actually use Fernish (not sponsored!) to rent accent pieces for our candle studio office in Brooklyn, NY.
3. Textiles
Incorporating yellow through textile accessories is the way to go if you prefer a more subtle approach. Think of seat cushions, throw blankets, area rugs, and curtains. These fine yellow accessories can brighten up any space.
Consider placing yellow textiles as a dynamic contrast against neutral backgrounds to infuse energy and personality into your home decor. Experiment with different patterns and shades of yellow to find the perfect balance that complements your style.
4. Lighting
Lighting has a significant impact on the ambiance of a room. Choose lighting fixtures with yellow accents or install yellow-hued light bulbs. Table lamps and even this yellow candle vessel can add a golden-yellow glow and a magic touch to your space.
Using a scented candle as a yellow lighting accent also allows you to scentcape an area in your home. Talk about a sensory bonus!
5. Florals
Bringing nature indoors is a delightful way to incorporate yellow into your home decor. Fresh flowers like sunflowers, tulips, or yellow roses arranged in vases can instantly enliven the mood in a room and provide a refreshing burst of color.
Add potted plants with yellow foliage or succulents with vibrant yellow accents to infuse your space with natural charm. These organic elements contribute to the aesthetic appeal and can promote a sense of calmness and well-being.

6. Candles can help increase focus in a work from home environment
The rise in WFH and remote work means our workspaces are full of comforts—and distractions. But why would anyone light a candle at their work desk? To keep those distractions at bay. From chatty co-workers (albeit via Slack) to social media, candles are a thoughtful corporate gift that can help us focus and create space for us to do our best work.
Consider it a productivity hack. 💡
The presence of a candle flame can set a calming mood. Wooden wick candles in particular have a unique soft-crackling sound, which can serve as natural and relaxing ambient sound in one’s space. Plus, select scent profiles, like citrus, woody or a floral scent of a scented candle can influence physiological responses that help keep the mind on track.
7. Candles can be an environmentally responsible gift choice
First, it‘s a candle, next it’s their favorite whiskey glass. 🥃
Depending on the candle’s vessel, most candle jars can be upcycled after the burn cycle of the candle. It can be used as storage, glassware and more, so you can feel good knowing that your gift will keep on giving! And your candle gift (once upcycled) can be a pleasant reminder, if not a conversation piece in their home, of your thoughtfulness.
