Let the sun's rays enter your household linen

In the yellow (saffron) family, I ask for the plaid , the flat sheet , the duvet cover and the pillowcases in double cotton gauze, the large tote bag , the toiletry bag and the bowling bag in organic cotton !

After our praise of the color blue and then the color green, we decided to reveal to you the facets of a new color dear to the Les pensionnaires palette, we named yellow !

For or against yellow in decoration?

Did you know that yellow is one of the most difficult colors to appreciate? It is one of the 3 primary colors, which demonstrates its capital importance on the color chart. But yellow is complicated and full of contrasts.

The dark side of yellow

It is associated with treachery, lying and deception. Some examples:

• In the history of the Christian religion, Judas, during his betrayal of Christ, is depicted wearing a yellow robe.
• The apples in the garden of the Hesperides, at the beginning of the Trojan War, were yellow.
• A yellow rose offered symbolizes the request for forgiveness for deception.

Few arguments to rush to this color then… But…

Solar, a sign of opulence… for yellow in homes!

Mustard yellow, curry yellow, buttercup yellow, chick yellow, saffron yellow, fluorescent yellow… As many shades as emotions. The major impression left by yellow is joyful, sunny and stimulating. Yellow represents life, like the star that spreads its warm rays on Earth. It is also the symbol of knowledge, power and wealth, in association with gold. Louis XIV, the Sun King, chose it to mark his power and divine origin. Before him, Apollo, God of art and poetry, wore this color on his solar chariot. The Chinese emperors had also adopted it.

For its dynamism, its cheerfulness, its warmth… integrate yellow into your interior decoration!

We offer you two little ideas to integrate the color of kings into your palace (or into your apartment, it's up to you).

• Let's start with the living room. Combine yellow and gray, Pantone 2021 colors. For example, go for an anthracite gray sofa that you can liven up with a saffron yellow plaid ... a real shot of good humor!
• In the bedroom, we like the combination of yellow and white, which is fresher. Accessorize the latter with, for example, our saffron yellow cotton canvas bag to hang in a falsely neglected way from a door handle with a few dried herbs sticking out.

So convinced? In small touches or in a more assertive way, yellow is the perfect color to add a little cheerfulness to your interior.
