Since Pinterest announced 'Butter Yellow' as one of the key color trends of 2025, we've been seeing the shade everywhere. It's appeared across the fashion and interior space, as paint, furniture, and accessories.
I have a confession: so far, it hasn't been my favorite. I've always thought of the shade as slightly dated, and difficult to decorate around. Gwyneth Paltrow's muted yellow living room, however, changed all of that. In the actress's Montecito home designed by Roman and Williams, a butter-yellow wall grounds the brown and cream space. It makes it feel both elevated and relaxed. It includes a hanging swing as a sofa, a large plant, and a cushiony cream rug.
