Yellow is the colour of the moment in the design world and whats not to like about this delicious hue?  It's fresh, warming and glamorous.  From light lemon infusions to bold golden tones, yellow can be used as a total scheme or as an accent colour.  Team it with navy or black for a bold statement or use it with light neutrals for a more subtle effect.

Channel your inner girly girl and inject a little playful pink into your scheme.  Whether you aim for subtly with a dusty light pink or scream it with a red hot fuchsia, there is a pink to suit your mood.  Pink is a strong colour, so unless you want to feel like you've come home to Barbie's boudoir, use it as an accent colour.  It's so versatile and can been teamed with just about any colour.
