Is Butter Yellow the Color of 2025?

My client’s kitchen is featured in this month’s Home & Garden Official showcasing her calming butter yellow details. What do you think? Is butter yellow your next move for your home?

My client’s home is not only her first home that she owns, but it was my first sale in Nashville. It’s so fun to see her vision come to life with the help of interior designer extraordinaire, Esther Ellmore.

From Home & Garden:

If you're ready to infuse your kitchen with plenty of mood-lifting colors, butter yellow is the perfect choice. It's light and airy so it won't feel too bold, but it will feel warm and full of personality.

'Who doesn’t love the feeling of a sun-drenched room? With a butter yellow kitchen, it’s like you’ve bottled up sunshine even on a cloudy day. It brings up feelings of warmth, happiness, and cake batter. What could be better,' says Esther Ellmore, creative specialist at Ellmore Design.

'But what I loved most about including this color in a recent Victorian character home renovation was that it also felt elevated, chic, and minimal. Yes it’s yellow but it’s not alienating and too bold, it draws you in, picks you, and leaves you wanting more – for a space we frequent so often that’s an important quality,' she explains.

'For us, it was a drenching. It was the cabinets and the unique trim work around the room. We anchored it with a checkered marble floor, petite brass hardware that felt like jewelry, and the most delicate white marble counters with decorative beveled edges.'
