Our Favorite Warm-Toned Decor From HGTV Magazine

Go on and embrace full color. "As soon as I saw the homeowner's bright yellow dining room chairs, I knew I wanted to do an accent wall in a near-matching color. I love how it peeks through the open-back bookcase, says Hannah Masterson of Woodland House Design LLC.

Full of country charm, this white kitchen gets a healthy dose of color with a lovely yellow island. This island is a real workhorse. It has lots of prep surface, a wraparound counter that seats three, deep drawers and cabinets for storage, and pantry space on the back.

Bring cheeriness to your kitchen with bright yellow cabinets. "Instead of blowing a bundle on new cabinets for this client's kitchen, I brought the sunshine with paint. Prep is everything when you redo stained cabinets — if you don't sand till they're supersmooth and then prime them, the paint could chip. A satin finish is easy to wipe down and also hides imperfections that glossy ones tend to highlight," says Amanda Louise Campbell of Amanda Louise Interiors.

Hand-poured cement tiles from Architectural Ceramics span the entire wall in yellow and blue diamonds, making the kitchen feel energetic and lively. The mismatched barstools add an eclectic vibe to the kitchen, but also served the budget well. The custom Lawson-Fenning seats with mustard yellow upholstery were a splurge but balanced by the more affordable backless wood-and-metal stools by Arteriors.
