Comma question

The sentence I have to edit is:

"Their simple, yet elegant and warm interiors use mainly natural materials"

That comma looks wrong to me where it currently sits, but where should commas go in this sentence?

Thanks for your help!

A comma is often used between consecutive adjectives when the sense is conjunctive: "simple [and] yet elegant." Notice that this doesn't apply to "mainly natural materials," since "mainly" is an adverb connected tightly to "natural."

For me, the use of 'yet' demands a second comma:

"Their simple, yet elegant and warm, interiors use mainly natural materials"
