A kitchen is, for many of us, a hub of the home, and as such, paint color choice is crucial. A sunny shade is a surefire way to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and Kyra Sedgwick is showing us how it's done with her butter-yellow windows.
The actor recently shared a snap on Instagram of her wood-dominated space, and we couldn't help but admire the butter yellow-painted windows, a lovely touch of color against the natural materials that comprise most of the space.

According to design experts, yellow's range of shades makes it an incredibly versatile color to incorporate into the kitchen and beyond (though we have a fondness towards the buttery shade seen in Kyra's kitchen).
'Yellow varies in depth and mood across a delightful spectrum, from soft, buttery pastels to deep, golden, and earthy, shouting warmth and optimism and bringing a bucket full of nostalgia to any interior,' explains Molly Freshwater, co-founder of Secret Linen Store. 'It is a mood booster, a light-giver, and a timeless classic. Whether you colour block with yellow boldly or weave it in subtly, it’s a colour that makes a house feel like a happy home.'
Decorating the windows with yellow is also a great way to introduce the shade in a measured and transitional manner, rather than painting an entire wall. For this more subdued look, try implementing smaller accessories into your kitchen, like this sweet, Mediterranean-inspired olive oil cruet from Anthropologie, or this golden runner from Ruggable
