A creamy, sun-drenched hue that feels both nostalgic and surprisingly fresh has quietly taken over spring interiors. Butter yellow—that mood-lifting shade somewhere between pastel and statement colour—has slipped from fashion runways into our living spaces with an ease that makes you wonder why we ever settled for basic beige.
After dominating collections at Chanel, Loewe, and Miu Miu, and reaching manicure tables everywhere, with celebs and cool girls alike sporting the hue on their fingertips, this deliciously warm tone has made the natural leap to home decor, appearing in everything from statement sofas to subtle ceramic accents.
Multiple interior designers told Vogue they’re witnessing a significant uptick in interest around butter yellow furniture, paints, wallpapers, and accents, with AD100 designers Timothy Corrigan, Heidi Callier, and Robin Standefer all naming it as the colour of 2025 in Vogue‘s annual interior design trend report.
The shade delivers exactly what we’re craving after winter—warmth and optimism without the intensity of bolder yellows. With searches for “butter yellow” jumping by 100% in the last month, it’s clearly struck a collective chord with those looking to refresh their spaces without committing to anything too bold or fleeting.
