Bright white and lemony yellow are a perfect pairing. Here, a colorful sofa brings some fun to this room (as do the bright pink accent pieces).

A rustic beam provides contrast with the modern decor here, and grounds the all-white ceiling and walls.

3. Yellow (mustard, sunflower, buttercream, etc.) is a strong, warm color, with pleasant and optimistic emotional content. Yellow is the least problematic color, a cheerful and non-aggressive hue. This jovial color is highly-reflective, producing expansive characteristics reminiscent of sunlight.

Bright yellow pairs beautifully with white, but together they could use something with a smidge more substance. A few well-placed red accents do the job with a few hits of a deeper shade.

If you have a small living room, odds are you'll need a smaller couch. With less space, any couch or sofa is going to be in the spotlight, so it's important to pick something that is practical, but is also of a strong design that carries and complements the rest of the space. Design Within Reach has a perfect two-seater for a small living room.

Next, pick one of the colors to use on walls or upholstered furniture for a more permanent shot of pastel. A yellow sofa makes a striking — not soft! — impact in this modern living room.

They are also low enough to tuck underneath a larger coffee table. You can drag them out when you need an extra surface or want a low ottoman for your feet.

Two things make this living space super cheerful and happy: the sunlight coming in and shining on all the white walls and the bright yellow sofa.

Go bold! Living in a home with children gives you a perfect excuse to choose color. In studies, yellow has been shown to make both children and adults feel happier.

If you're falling for a colorful solid, it's time to be honest with yourself: Can you live with this much color on such big piece of furniture? If the answer is yes, just remember to keep the other pieces in the room fairly simple so they won't compete with your big statement sofa. Also, carry the color you choose throughout the room so that the sofa doesn't stick out.Two great examples of carrying color throughout are the ikat pillows in the previous photo, which have shots of the same teal as the sofa, and the yellow touches in the art above Jan Skacelik's yellow sofa in this photo. Remember: A little goes a long way.

The decor is pure midcentury blue blood, right down to the Saarinen Tulip Chair and the trio of Nelson lights. But because of the bright white paint and the marigold-yellow sofa, it is also cheery and welcoming.
