Yellow wallpaper

Yellow wallpaper is one of the most characterful choices for your interior — more versatile than it looks, richer than you'd expect. At Selected Wallpapers you'll find over 339 designs in yellow tones, from brands like Arte, Pierre Frey and Elitis. From soft pastel yellow to deep ochre and gleaming gold: there's always a shade that suits your space and style.

Yellow wallpaper: warm, versatile and full of character

What makes yellow so special as a wall colour? It captures daylight in a way no other colour can. Morning and evening light give yellow wallpaper an entirely different atmosphere — so your wall never feels static. A soft pastel yellow creates calm and warmth; a rich ochre or golden yellow makes a bold statement that defines the room.

Yellow naturally pairs beautifully with natural tones, cream and deep blue — but also works surprisingly well alongside dark green or anthracite. Combine with linen curtains and a wooden floor for a warm, organic atmosphere that never goes out of style.

Which yellow shade suits your interior?

• Pastel yellow and vanilla — light, calm, ideal for bedroom or hallway
• Ochre and mustard — warm and earthy, beautiful with dark wood and rattan
• Gold yellow with metallic sheen — sumptuous, perfect as an accent wall in living or dining room
• Lemon and lime — fresh and modern, great for a home office or kitchen

Yellow wallpaper by room — practical tips

In a small hallway, pastel yellow wallpaper creates the feeling of more space. In a living room with high ceilings, a deep ochre design makes the space feel more intimate and cosy. What we notice: yellow is most underestimated in the bedroom — a soft, warm yellow creates a cocoon feel that brings calm without becoming boring.
