What Colour Blinds & Curtains Go Well With Yellow Walls?

Colour pairings for yellow walls

You’ve got a room with bright yellow walls in your home? Good for you, much like the beautiful colour itself that was a bold choice, not many people would have the courage to cover their walls in banana yellow paint and for choosing to do that, we applaud you!

Now, we already know you’re somewhat of a décor maverick, ignoring the traditional “safe” colours like grey and magnolia, but now it’s time to find a new window shade to go with your yellow walls. In such a bold and bright space, not just any old blind will do… you need something that’s bold, bright and brimming with razzamatazz to keep up with the positive energy your yellow walls bring to the party.

So, read on to discover the DotcomBlinds team’s favourite window shade colour pairings for that delightful yellow room in your home!

Bold Black & White Combos

In modern home design it’s encouraged to take inspiration from nature when choosing colour palettes to create a warm, welcoming space that feels alive with energy. So for this point we’re taking inspiration from nature’s most iconic yellow creature: the humble bumblebee!!! Choosing a bold black and white blind to pair with your yellow walls will create a bold, eye-catching look, while also paying homage to everyone’s favourite little pollinators!

A few good options for black & white window shades to pair with your yellow walls would be: our Orla Kiely Jumbo Solid Stem Black Roman Blind (pictured), our Athol Jet Curtains, our MissPrint Little Trees Charcoal Roller Blind, or our Santiago Black Roller Blind.

Earthy Brown Tones

Another great colour pairing to use for your new shades in a room with yellow walls would be earthy brown tones. Earthy brown and bold colours are a great match that were popular in the 60’s and 70’s which are both seeing retro returns to popularity and help to create a very organic and natural feeling in your home, while still being a bold and eye-catching colour combination.

A few food options for brown window shades to pair with your yellow walls would be: our Tempe Otter Roman Blind (pictured), our Sheringham Cedar Day & Night Blind, Sugar Maple Real Wood Venetian Blind, or our eco-friendly ReClaim Driftwood Blackout Roller Blind.

Yummy Yellow Hues

This next combination is only for the brave, as it will leave your rooms looking incredibly bright and bold… of course you were brave and bold enough to paint the walls of your home bright yellow, so maybe this is the pairing for you! By pairing yellow walls with a yellow window shade, you will create an incredibly bright yellow oasis in your home!

A few good options for bold yellow window shades to pair with your yellow walls would be: our Orla Kiely Solid Stem Yellow Roman Blind (pictured), our Georgia Buttercup Curtains, our Saturn Spectra Yellow Dimout Roller Blind, or our Yellow Metal Venetian Blind.

Contrasting Citrus Shades

Returning to the nature inspiration, yellow colours in nature are often found on citrus fruits like lemons, yuzu and citron fruits. So, why not take the citrus theme and run with it, pairing your citrus yellow walls with other citrus colours like stunning lime greens and awesome bright orange colours to create a bold, fresh and citrus-y feel in your home, which is sure to be warm and full of positive energy!

A few good options for citrus coloured window shades to pair with your yellow walls would be:  our Bosa Tangerine Blackout Roller Blind (pictured), our Georgia Paprika Curtains, our Orla Kiely Solid Stem Green Roman Blind, or our Lima Emerald Blackout Roller Blind
