Have a 12 feet by 7 feet study room with one glass wall, so has light for most of he day.
It has been decorated in a neutral shade of beige.
Have ordered oak finish desk and a book case.
I have also ordered a chaise( yes, yes.. It was on my wish list) .

Nordlux Easy-to-fit Bønnelycke MDD Funk 27 Shade, Dia.27cm, Yellow
On an impulse.

I have not seen it except online, what do you think of the lamp shade?
Am I mad in even considering yellow to add some colour.

I was tired of seeing oak, grey and playing safe with neutrals all the time.

The chaise is in a lighter shade of grey if that helps.

Yellow is lovely! Quite on trend just now too

With oak and grey, it would look fab.

Grey alone is dull, even with natural wood colours. Colour is essential and that yellow is lovely and actually quite safe!

Yes, that's the one. Sorry can't link, don't know how.
Will have a go though, this is the book case

I was thinking of getting some yellow cushion and decorative stuff for the display in the bookcase.
Should I add another colour? Green or red ?

I've got that light, and I LOVE it! I would stick with the yellow and neutrals (could include black/white/grey)... Let the yellow sing.

Would appreciate any other advice for yellow accessories in the room

Right, I'm not suggesting you do all this stuff, especially as it'd bankrupt most of us, but some ideas of possibilities...

Sorry, but I'm going to have to do these links one at a time, cos my effing ipad keeps clearing my message every time I move to a different tab!
