I love the feeling of this interior from Elle Decor and the banana leaves which add fabulous drama to the room. Plus there are 3 different shades of yellow here!
A yellowy beige in the sisal area rugs, a fresh, clean yellow in the upholstered chairs and a fabulous sunset, golden shade for the drapery! A beautiful example of a monochromatic colour scheme!
The only thing that's missing is colour on the walls. So if you go through the process of what to choose. . .
1) They can't be a clean yellow to match the furniture because it would not work with the rugs and the drapes.
2) Can't be the colour of the drapes because then it would fight with the clean yellow of the chairs.
3) The yellow beige of the carpets would not be fabulous with either the chairs or the drapes.
So I would paint the walls BM Rich Cream, not muddy, not too clean--the perfect backdrop for this happy and bright interior.
