Interior decoration with mustard tones
Today we will talk about the shade of yellow known as mustard. In this blog we will tell you why you should consider this colour as an option for your interiors. We'll go over the properties of mustard, its possible applications, colours it goes great with and give a couple of extra tips on how to use it.
In 2022, mustard yellow replaces terracotta as the colour of the year. This warm tone is ideal for adding a touch of colour to your interiors, bringing a Mediterranean feel to any space.
Mustard is an extremely versatile shade. This shade is a great choice for brightening up dark rooms, its vibrant colour is reminiscent of sunlight and it wakes up the rest of the colours in the room. This colour can also liven up interiors dominated by neutrals, from putting a mustard sofa in your living room, opting for mustard sheets to brighten up your bedroom, decorating your home in mustard shades, to painting your kitchen cabinets in mustard.
What does the mustard colour bring to interior decoration?
Mustard has more benefits than you think. As a derivative of yellow, this shade is associated with joy and happiness. Mustard interiors are said to energise the body and stimulate the mind. It also arouses positive emotions and provides vitality.
How can we combine the mustard colour in interior decoration?
As mentioned above, mustard is a great choice for adding a splash of colour to interiors where a neutral palette dominates. Plus, this colour is a great base on which to add other lighter shades of yellow. Here are the four colours we recommend combining mustard yellow with:
Mustard and blue
Yellow and blue are complementary colours, which means that their contrast can give incredible results. The freshness of blue blends perfectly with the warmth of mustard, creating the right balance between energy and tranquillity for our space.
Mustard and white
It is true that white is the base colour par excellence, as there is no shade with which it does not combine satisfactorily. Even so, mustard and white have a curious relationship: when these two tones share a space, they make each other shine. In this way, we can create an extremely bright and cheerful atmosphere in our home.
Mustard and green
This combination also takes advantage of the hot/cold contrast, and its combination brings a sense of peace, nature and tranquillity to any space. White or beige tones can be added to this mix to complete the space.
Mustard and red
Perhaps the most daring combination on our list. This energetic combination of two distinctly warm shades will not leave any of your guests indifferent. This is the ideal combination for those who want an interior with character.
As an additional tip, when combining the mustard colour with textures, we recommend opting for woods of any shade and vegetable fibres such as wicker or bamboo.
What to watch out for in interior design
Even so, we should not get excited with the mustard colour, although it is a highly versatile and cheerful colour, we should apply it in small doses so as not to create an overwhelming atmosphere in our space.
