We're halfway through February, which means we're in the depths of winter weather blahs, not known to be the biggest motivator for working on your home, or anything else for that matter. To help counteract the urge to hit snooze rather than join in with your own project during our month of home design improvements, here is a upbeat selection of yellow, black and white rooms hand-picked to help blast away decor doldrums — get ready to smile and soak in some sunshine…

I bought a yellow coat this year for the exact same reason... banishing those winter blahs! Loved all of these rooms! Thanks!
I disagree with Philip, I think the cabinets are gorgeous, but you need lots of light to pull that off. The bedroom on the other hand, yeah, that's pretty bad.
Cheery & interesting! I really liked it!
Good combinations! I want such kind of curtains like photo nr1.
These are lovely! I've been in love with yellow lately! Four rooms in my house are yellow, and I'm making a set of yellow curtains for my art room.
love it! My apartment is yellow with brighter yellow accents! I love it!
LURVE the kitchen! Terrific shade of yellow!!
I'm sorry, but Yellow & Black just reminds me of bug spray.
One of my favorite posts by far! Love, love, love the yellow kitchen cabinets!
One of my favorite color combos - in all its forms! Lovely, all the way down the line.
Sorry, just not a fan of this color scheme. I agree with M@ about the bug spray, or crime scene caution tape colors. Everything about it says, "just walk away" to me.
I am a fan. I love that first kitchen, nothing at all nasty about it imo.
Loved every single one :)
I absolutely love yellow, but why only 3 coulors?
The kitchen cupboards are fabulous! The bedroom not so much.
I like this! Going to be decorating my basement soon and this color combo is now a serious contender. I think it will bring the illusion of light to a space that doesn't get much natural light.
I'm normally not a fan of yellow, but the rooms that are accented with touches of yellow are an inspiration! The white bedroom with small touches of black and yellow is my favorite - I could definitely live with it! Thanks for the mid winter cheer!
I love yellow...but somehow none of these rooms are working for me....they lack finesse, if that's not too rude of me to say..I'll only take the yellow and black lacquered boxes in the fourth picture :)
what nice images to wake up to! I love yellow (with all sorts of color combinations) and yet never have managed to work it into one of my design themes... guess I'll have to rethink that.
I love every strong colour in other people houses. In my own though I'm getting bored with colours very quickly and ending up with repaint job within few months.
