If sunshine had a softer side, it would be butter yellow. This season, we’re seeing a buttery revival – gentle, golden hues popping up on everything from plush textiles to bold feature walls. And frankly? We’re here for it.
At Nobletts, we’ve been loving this mellow yellow moment. It’s cheerful without shouting, retro without feeling dated, and warm enough to make any room feel like a hug. Whether you’re a fan of the palest pastels or prefer your yellow with a Dijon-style kick, this trend has a shade for everyone.
Meet the Shades Making Us Smile
💛 Sunrise –
A soft, creamy yellow that instantly brightens a space. Pair it with fresh whites and leafy greens for a look that’s straight out of a country kitchen daydream.
💛 Mustard Jar –
Punchy and playful, this deeper yellow works wonders as a bold accent. Perfect behind bookshelves or paired with botanical wallpaper for that full cottagecore glow-up.
