At the end of December, the color outside is often dreary. And although yellow may not be a typical color you associate with winter, I think a little dose of bold color during a drab time of year is good for the eyes! I love when a designer or homeowner is daring enough to not only use bold color, but use it in a completely unexpected place. These splashes of sunny yellow in home decor have caught my eye as of late and just made me smile. 

And just for fun, one last image. It's not just yellow, but seeing this rainbow-hued staircase in person would definitely bring a smile to your face in winter, don't you think?
