The days are finally getting longer and lighter, which can only mean one thing: spring is almost here. And if the interiors world has decided anything for the new season, it’s that yellow is the colour to know. From zesty lemon to soft buttercream, these warm, uplifting tones are everywhere right now - and they’re the easiest way to breathe new life into a room that’s still shaking off winter.
Soft yet sunny, butter yellow in particular has a way of transforming a blank canvas. It adds warmth without overwhelming a space, catching the light beautifully and making everything feel a little fresher and brighter. Think of it as a gentle reset for your home.
From cushions to bedding sets, the trend is popping up across the high street and Primark has just added a gorgeous butter yellow gingham frill throw to its home range that will update your living space for under £15.
Priced at just £14, the throw measures a generous 120cm x 150cm, making it ideal for draping over the end of a bed or sharing on the sofa during those in-between evenings when the sun has dipped but there’s still some breeze in the air. The subtle gingham print keeps it feeling timeless, while the frill trim adds a playful, cottagecore-inspired finish.
It’s also practical - machine washable, tumble dryer-safe on a low setting, and no ironing required, meaning you can throw it on, snuggle up, and not worry about the upkeep.
Style it with crisp white bedding for a clean, hotel-inspired look, layer it over neutral linen for a soft spring refresh, or pair it with pale sage and blush accents for a more trend-led feel.

You could even drape it over the arm of a cream sofa or a rattan chair to add a subtle pop of colour without overwhelming the space.
Available via click and collect or in store, this is one affordable update we’re very tempted to double up on - one for the bed, one for the sofa, and an instant seasonal refresh sorted.
