Spuce up your old teacher’s desk: Have a bright pop of yellow in your desk area by first covering your desk’s front and sides with a gray, black, white, or black and white contact paper. Then border the edges with a yellow bulletin board border.

A yellow wall: Paint your back wall yellow. The side walls can be a neutral color because you don’t want to overdo it. Other yellow furniture and trims in the classroom will stand out more because the back wall will be matching them and this will tie them all together beautifully.

Use yellow bulletin board background paper: This will make your bulletin boards match the other yellow items in your classroom. There are different shades of yellow that you can choose. This canary yellow is my favorite.
