Last year butter yellow was everywhere, from our nails, to dresses and of course within our homes. But now it's goodbye butter, and hello lemon yellow, as the sunny bright shade takes centre stage, particularly in our homeware.
While lemon yellow can sound a bit overwhelming, there doesn't need to be any fear in decorating with this slightly brighter hue. Lemon works well with classic crisp white and cream tones, so if this is already how your home is decorated, it's an easy shade to weave in. Or if you've already got a more colourful based home with tones such as navy or green, this can provide a nice contrast to the lemon.
However, if you do just want to dip into the trend, right now Primark have the ideal bedding set that will help you get the look.
Their new gingham lemon duvet set is perfect for spring and bringing that sunshine into your home (even if it's grey skies outside).
See the set here:
We love the added pink ric rac trim which is a nice finishing touch on both the duvet and the pillows, and surprisingly complimentary tone to the yellow. It also taps into the current trend of pairing pink and yellow together which has been popping up all over homeware in the last few weeks, from this cushion, to this reversible throw.
Everyone's clicking on...
The double duvet set is just £14 and comes with two matching pillowcases. It's also available in a single and king size.
It's easy to take care of, being made from a blend of cotton and polyester and can be machine washed up to 40 degrees and tumble dried.
To complete the look, why not accessorise with pink cushions or a chunky knit throw? The perfect spring combination in our opinion.
