COLOR WATCH: THE PRE-FALL BUZZ – YELLOW & BLACK IS BACK!

July 28, 2010

Huh…who would have thought that the color combination of yellow and black could actually be really elegant and highly stylish? I didn’t before now. Usually, when I think of combining these colors I immediately think of an insect…in particular..a bee. Not anymore!

Fashion and interior design …on the same page it seems when it comes to these two colors. These rooms and these Oscar de la Renta looks with great skirts, jackets, tops and scarves have convinced me that yellow and black is back and “a la mode”!

Do you like yellow and black together…? Do you think it works in these rooms or for these clothes? What is your favorite color combination?

Lots of questions for you!

Hope you have a fab Wednesday!

    Yellow and black, and even more so yellow and gray, has been huge on the stylish wedding scene for about 18 months now. I wonder if the wedding industry is influencing fashion and home decor with this particular color trend…

    I have always loved the brightness of yellow and black although it reminds me of a bee also…but Ilove cute little bees! To soften the look, choose gray and gold. I have done two master bedrooms in this color combo and it is gorgeous. Works so well with all metals and you might be surprised at how many fabrics are available in this color combo.

    I cringed when I first read the title of this post. The photos changed my mind though. The yellow and black are really elegant and beautiful.

    Nice rooms. For yellow and black, keep an eye on Mary Douglas Drysdale. She does it beautifully. Shiree’

Alexis Banks Humiston didn’t just design this 9,20 Alexis Banks Humiston didn’t just design this 9,200 sq ft Nashville home, she moved in with the family for two days first.
She interviewed everyone, including the 6 and 8-year-olds, before touching a wall. The payoff shows up in the details: a hand-painted constellation ceiling in the son’s room by @willemrackestudio, a floral canopy bed for the daughter, and a hidden reclaimed-wood bar tucked into the attic eaves.
Every room feels like it was made to be lived in, not admired.
