By Ana Zuravliova
As we all know, colour plays a pivotal role in setting the mood and ambiance of a space. For lovers of cosy, inviting homes that still offer an energetic colour palette, we’re today looking at mustard! This warm and vibrant shade can add a touch of elegance, energy, and personality to your interiors, and in this blog, we’ll explore the wonderful world of mustard in design. Relax and enjoy learning all you need to know about how you can use this versatile hue to transform your living space!
What is mustard colour?
Mustard is a warm and earthy hue that draws its inspiration from the seeds of the mustard plant. Typically, mustard falls within the spectrum of yellow and brown, exuding a rich, golden tone with very subtle undertones of brown or green. Mustard is a versatile, adaptable, and timeless colour that is both vibrant and sophisticated, making it a popular choice for classical and contemporary inspired spaces. Its warm and comforting qualities evoke feelings of cosiness and nostalgia while also adding personality to any space. With some many amazing qualities, it’s no surprise mustard is a go-to choice for those seeking a distinctive and inviting aesthetic. These are our top tips for using mustard in interior design.
Mustard yellow curtains and blinds
Mustard is a dynamic colour that can be used in several different ways. For those wanting to make a soft, relaxing space, mustard yellow curtains and mustard blinds will add a delicate, sophisticated decor. To elevate your use of mustard yellow in interior design, consider mustard Roman blinds or mustard roller blinds!
If, however, you’re feeling bold and want to make a strong design statement, mustard can be used not only around windows, but on walls and even ceilings too. This stylish approach can create a dramatic and unforgettable look, especially when paired with contrasting accents of energising teal, cool greens and even juicy berry reds. That said, it’s essential to be mindful of the room’s lighting, as mustard can be overpowering in poorly lit spaces. Opt for well-lit rooms, or use mustard as an accent wall to strike a balance.
Create a cosy and inviting atmosphere
Mustard colour has the rare ability to easily create a cosy and inviting atmosphere. It exudes warmth, making it an excellent choice for common areas like the living room and bedroom alike. Use mustard-coloured throws and cushions to make your seating areas more inviting. Additionally, consider incorporating mustard-coloured rugs to define spaces and add a layer of comfort underfoot.
What colours go with mustard?
Mustard works wonderfully with complementary colours, such as teal, navy, and earthy greens. Moreover, it’s a great colour to use with soft neutral shades including off white and cream! By combining mustard with these varying shades, you can curate a balanced and visually appealing colour palette. The richness of these combinations can be especially effective in creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere which is the ideal end point for many stylish homes!
Mustard as an accent colour
If you don’t want to use mustard as a dominant colour you can still use it to great effect. Mustard works wonders as an accent colour and is a great choice for creating focal points and adding a pop of colour to an otherwise neutral room. Whether you choose mustard for throw cushions, blinds or curtains, or accent chairs, this hue can instantly revitalise your space. You can even find mustard as part of popular patterns that will add a sophisticated finish to almost any decor theme.
Mustard is a versatile and captivating colour in interior design. Its warm, welcoming, and vibrant nature can enhance the beauty of any room. Whether you choose to go bold with mustard window dressings or prefer to incorporate it through accents and accessories, this colour can breathe new life into your living spaces. How will you spice up your home with mustard?
