Decorating with Yellow

Yellow is such a versatile color and when you decorate in a monochromatic palette you can layer styles with ease. (tweet this) In this Georgetown row house decorated by Mary Douglas that was featured in the July/August House Beautiful, traditional and transitional pieces are mixed with ease to keep the living room fresh and modern. A

Framing Idea: use a white mat and a gold frame to accent this duck painting. original duck art is for sale in my etsy shop and framed prints are also available from imagekind.

Madeline Weinrib rug defines the seating area and adds modern flavor to the yellow traditional damask upholstery (fabric is Marshall damask by Carleton V.) The yellow buffalo checks on the curtain fabric in Cornwall Plaid by Scalamandré add southern country charm.Finally, yet another fabric by Sferra is introduced to add additional visual interest and pattern.

Madeline Weinrib’s rug is available from ABC Carpet and Home or from your interior decorator– OR blogger Reichel Broussard discovered you can get this facsimile from West Elm for under $750 for a 9×12″

Compliment Your Color Scheme with Art

The artwork is not part of Douglas’ design, but has been digitally added to give you decorating inspiration for your own home. You can collect the original watercolor duck painting or order an affordable duck print. Either way, the charming ducks as a bit of whimsy to the otherwise sedate family room.
