Mustard yellow is one of my favourite statement colours. It\u2019s a rich, retro-esque hue with surprisingly cool design credentials. Like olive green and fuchsia pink, it can feel a bit intimidating but in just the right doses it makes an impact like no other. I\u2019ve rounded up some images to show you just how special this colour can be.<\/p>\n

Fine Feature Walls<\/strong><\/p>\n

A feature wall is a great way to embrace a vibrant hue like mustard without feeling overwhelmed. It\u2019s easy and simple to create an accent wall, so you can give your space an exciting update in just a couple of hours.<\/p>\n

Radiator Revelry<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re going to do something as surprising as painting your radiator a colour other than white, you may as well go all out. This bold mustard really stands out against the deep blue walls; an excellent colour combination. Some paint manufacturers offer a spray painting service, which will save you the time and hassle of painting the radiator yourself.<\/p>\n

Painted Doors<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another surprising use for bright paint; I love the mustard doors in this stylish Toronto home. With all white walls, the painted door brings a real sense of cheer and playfulness to the space. And since it\u2019s only a small surface area, the colour can be easily changed.<\/p>\n

Sophisticated Sofas<\/strong><\/p>\n

What do you get when you combine mustard yellow with a tactile fabric like velvet and an iconic shape? A near-perfect sofa. A worn vintage sofa lends any space heaps of comfortable, cosy charm. Can\u2019t find the perfect vintage number? Try a new sofa like the one pictured above instead.<\/p>\n

Simple Accessories<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another effortless way to embrace this beautiful colour is through the use of accessories. Cushions, throws, lamps and vases are all obvious options, but I also like more uncommon ideas, like a yellow painted claw-foot bath tub. Shop around for unique pieces to add to your space, or buy some paint and get creative with things you already have.<\/p>\n

I hope the images above show you how exciting, dynamic and stylish mustard yellow can be. It\u2019s a hugely versatile colour that pairs well with a wide range of hues, and it\u2019s sure to add a burst of happiness to your home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
