Summer is here, and with it come longer days and happy doses of sunshine. I love to work with yellow fabrics at this time of year because they are a great way to bring some of that summer sunshine indoors. Whether feminine florals, fresh geometrics or sophisticated toiles, yellow fabrics can brighten a space and pair well with a variety of colors. — Daniela from Aesthetic Oiseau
Prasana 21037 Fabric, Sunglo - $29.98 » John Robshaw textiles really bring a dose of bohemian chic to any space. This trailing vine with yellow blooms is gorgeous and would be beautiful as drapery.
Turkish Toile Fabric, Lemon Curd - $29.98 » This Turkish toile print comes in several colorways, and I think it's one of the most stunning toiles I've ever seen. The detail is gorgeous, and I'm loving the pairing of browns against the sunny yellow.
Burwick Manor Fabric, Amber - $40.60 » Jacobean florals always catch my eye. I love the stripe used in this pattern, as it gives a very busy pattern some order. This would look dynamite on a pair of armchairs in a bedroom.
New Vase Linen Fabric, Lemon - $84.50 » Hello, gorgeous. This Vase fabric by Clarence House is probably one of my top 10 favorites, and the beautiful buttercup tone is out of this world. I would love it on a large piece, like a sofa, to make a statement.
Lily Yellow Fabric - $34.99 » This fanciful stripe is just darling. The tassels are such a sweet detail, and I would love it in a child's space.
Sassari Ikat 40 Fabric, Sun - $81.20 » Sassari Ikat is a classic, and I treat it as a neutral. This marigold pattern can really stand next to many colors and patterns and be a grounding element.
Braemore Julian/OXF Sunflower Fabric - $17.30 » This exuberant damask is very elegant. It would be gorgeous as bed linens (bed skirt, duvet, shams) paired with lavender painted walls.
Fraise Du Printemps Fabric, Yellow/Blue/Red - $216.99 » This fabric has a hint of Provence to me. It feels French shabby chic and would look beautiful on upholstery in a country cottage.
Premier Prints Butterfly Slub, White/Yellow - $8.48 » Another great candidate for kids, this butterfly print is simple and pretty. I think the rich yellow tone would look perfectly lovely paired with blush pink.
China Rose Hand-printed Chintz Fabric, Yellow & Blue on Cream - $125.30 » The pops of yellow roses totally catch my eye in this amazing chinoiserie fabric. It would sing as a pillow against a yellow chair.
Premier Prints Cameron Corn Yellow Slub Fabric - $8.60 » Pair this small-scale pattern with a more complex fabric. I love the diminutive chevron with a zebra-print quality. It's fun yet understated.
Millais Fabric, Gold - $38.99 » Do you see a pattern with chinoiserie fabrics? I love them and they look beautiful in yellow! I love the delicate scale of this whimsical toile. The small and detailed elements "quiet" the busy pattern a bit.
Covington Daffodil Yellow Woven Ticking Fabric - $13.60 » Use classic ticking stripe anywhere for a simple, fresh and timeless look.
Bouquet Print Fabric, Yellow - $173.60 » I don't think a collection of yellow fabrics would be complete without a nod to a traditional feminine floral. This one is soft and girly, and I would have no shame using it in a big way, like on curtains or a sofa.
Trends Fabric, Sunflower - $35.00 » I've enjoyed this painterly basketweave for a while. It comes in lots of colors, but I especially love this maize hue. I always like a soft geometric that isn't too harsh in its lines.
Braemore Paloma/OXF Sunflower Fabric - $17.30 » This is a great small-scale pattern to pair with a larger, busier pattern that has pops of yellow. I love the slightly Southwestern feel of this print too.
Pillement Toile Hand-printed Fabric, Yellow - $181.30 » Here is yet another pretty chinoiserie toile — I can't help myself! This is a very classic print in a monochromatic color scheme. I could see it on Roman shades in an elegant marble bathroom.
1382CB Moss Fabric - $46.90 » The yellows in this fabric are more of a mustard, and I love how they work so well with taupes and khakis to create a lovely neutral fabric. This painterly paisley is a great casual print for a family space. It think it would look gorgeous paired with a soft periwinkle blue or even a gray.
Folk Dance Fabric, Spice Market - $75.75 » Yellow and red is a recent favorite of mine in the world of color combinations, and I thought this fabric was just incredibly fun to look at. The colors are so vibrant. I see it paired with a yellow stripe, maybe in a kitchen or breakfast space.
98516 Saffron Fabric, Yellow - $34.93 » I think yellow is a natural pairing for the traditional blues of a beach house — like sun and water. And I always love a pretty shell motif like this one.
