Decorating with Mustard Yellow

If you’re looking to add warmth to your interiors this fall, you might want to consider adding a splash of mustard yellow to your décor. A mix between bright yellow and deep brown, this shade of yellow adds a rich and vibrant look to any room that it’s used in.

Since mustard yellow can range in shade, you’re able to curate multiple looks depending on the tone that fits your personality. You can go modern, contemporary, or even mid-century, depending on what colors you pair with mustard, and how the colors are used in the design.

For a sophisticated and edgy feel, pair mustard with a darker blue, while an eclectic, funky look can be created when you pair it with turquoise or magenta.

Mustard is bold and fierce when used as your wall color, but if that’s too much for you, consider bringing it to your couch or chair. Since furniture is larger in size, you can still create a bold look without painting 4 walls in this shade of yellow.

If bringing the color to your furniture is still a little much, keep it simple and bring mustard into your space in your accent décor pieces, such as pillows or blankets. A little color can go a long way in adding warmth and coziness to your space, and when used in smaller doses, this natural color can create a rustic vibe.

Modern Decor Is Hotter Than Ever

Common in this style of design is the open-design layout and large glass windows. Often you’ll see kitchens, dining rooms and living rooms connected. With the open-floor plan and large windows, light is able to shine through, making the space feel light and airy.
