Blue and yellow are a funny color pairing when it comes to using them in your home. It's a scheme that's not unusual to see, for sure, but one that can easily go wrong. Given that these shades are consider 'complementary', why can a blue and yellow color palette be so disastrous in the wrong hands?
Well, in their purest, primary-color forms, yellow is definitely a color that goes with blue, but it's used more in 'design' than 'interior design', and you'll often see them used to creating striking logos. IKEA, Walmart, GoodYear — these colors are used because they stand out; because they're perfect contrasts to each other, but that doesn't always translate into a beautiful home.
