FARROW AND BALL | No 279 Yellowcake

No 279 Yellowcake

Cake batter and the revival of the ‘homemade’ was the inspiration for one of Farrow and Ball’s newest paint colors Yellowcake!

But it’s not the cake on the plate that has us so excited about the color, it’s the bold infusion of this classic brights yellow  in design, on walls, in art, and on furniture that keeps catching our eye.

Here, Farrow and Ball’s Yellowcake adds drama to an otherwise neutral room.  Painting the trim and walls, floor to ceiling,  the same color adds an element of sophistication to the design.
