A Theory of Colour: Yolk Yellow
Why Yolk Yellow?
Few colours feel as joyful and confident as yellow. Our Yolk Yellow Hexagon Lamp is unapologetically bold, instantly warming a space and creating a focal point that feels both modern and timeless.
Yellow is a colour that celebrates life. It carries associations of sunshine, optimism, and creativity. In interiors, it can feel daring - but with the right balance, it’s one of the most rewarding colours to work with!
The Psychology of Yellow
Colour has a profound effect on how we feel, and yellow is one of the most emotionally charged shades. It’s often linked to optimism, energy, and happiness. In design, even a small amount of yellow can shift the mood of a space - bringing a sense of cheerfulness and positivity.
Yellow also sparks creativity. It’s a colour that feels alive, encouraging focus and imagination, which makes it a brilliant choice for home offices, reading corners, or studios. It’s confident without being overbearing, the perfect reminder that interiors can influence how we live and feel day to day.
Using Yellow in Interior Design
Yellow can be surprisingly versatile when used thoughtfully. It’s not just a colour for statement walls or eccentric accents, it can play many roles depending on the palette around it.
In a living room, yellow brings energy and sociability. A lamp in this shade creates a welcoming glow that lifts the space.
In a bedroom, it might feel unexpected, but paired with soft neutrals or earthy greens, it creates warmth and cheer without feeling overpowering.
In a study or home office, yellow helps to inspire, energise, and spark focus, making it a brilliant choice for rooms where ideas flow!
Styling Notes: How to Work With Yolk Yellow
The Yolk Yellow Hexagon Lamp comes alive with the right lampshade. Pairing it with different trims changes the mood completely.
-
Green trim: earthy and grounded, it anchors the yellow while keeping things fresh and organic.
-
Red trim: bold and striking, the combination feels rich and full of character, perfect for maximalist interiors.
-
Cream trim: soft and balanced, letting the yellow take centre stage while adding an elegant, timeless note.
Try layering it with warm wood tones, natural linen textiles, or jewel-coloured accessories to give the yellow a stage to shine.
Design & Craftsmanship
Each Yolk Yellow Hexagon Lamp is handmade in England by an expert wood turner and finished with an elegant low gloss paint that enhances its bold silhouette. The geometric form feels architectural yet playful, while the hand-finished brass base adds warmth and will develop a natural patina over time. The colour is richly applied, softening the light and creating an inviting glow in any room.
