Mustard color in the interior has been valued at all times, due to its self-sufficiency and versatility. It has a huge variety of shades, perceived differently: it all depends on the predominance of yellow or brown in the color. Brown adds warmth and confidence to yellow.
Mustard does not irritate, does not depress, does not cause anxiety or boredom. It plays depending on the direction of the light: in bright light it is more yellow, in dim light it becomes darker. At all times, it has been associated with wealth, luxury, and independence. This is a calm shade that gives the room solidity and originality.
Color Features
The advantages are:
- Self-sufficiency - this color will become the dominant color in any interior;
- Warmth - the more brown, the more coziness it brings;
- Versatility - it will look different in different interiors. It may change depending on the lighting and the surrounding background;
- It can be combined with many other colors;

When working with mustard, you need to take into account some of its features. This is not a simple color and there are some rules for its use:
- There is a very limited list of flowers with which it can act as a companion;
- It absolutely does not go well with red, rich green and some other colors;
- It needs a spacious room and light; in a small room it will become dark, gloomy and stuffy.
Gray
Trendy colors with a rich palette, actively used by interior designers. Gray curtains harmonize with metallic appliances or furniture and create beautiful folds.
Light gray shades - ecru, ash, bungalow, fluff, pearl - are suitable for both spacious and tiny rooms and go well with white, black, red and other colors.
Gray curtains will be a practical and non-staining decoration for the kitchen, creating a single color ensemble with a refrigerator or kitchen unit of an identical or similar color.
Just like other dark colors, curtains in the color of basalt and wet asphalt look better in large rooms and are unlikely to be suitable for a nursery.
In the interior of the living room
If you use mustard in a balanced manner, taking into account the functional load of the room and its lighting, you can achieve unique results. The mustard color can give a living room an aristocratic and even vintage look. The room will be very cozy.
Although this color is unusual in the interior, due to its warmth it can be considered classic. If you want to keep your living room in an elegant style, then this is the best find. Moreover, wood furniture is an obligatory element of classical trends; it goes well with mustard, creating a harmony of colors.
Mustard-colored walls in the living room require careful attention to the textiles in the room and to the upholstery of upholstered furniture (sofa, armchairs), which is often its center. For example, you should never match the same furniture to mustard-colored walls, as it will look ridiculous. Remembering to maintain balance, you can paint only one wall in the room mustard. If you want to play up the shade more boldly, you can try playing with contrasts. To do this, you can place exquisite black accessories on the main background.
If there is a mustard-colored sofa in the living room, then it is self-sufficient and does not require additional textile decoration. You can balance the harmony of such a sofa with the neutral background of the room by adding curtains of the same color to the interior. To create an interior with a neutral background and mustard-colored furniture, choosing furniture in a more yellow shade will help. A light or light wooden floor goes well with mustard-colored furniture.
What style suits it?
When arranging the interior, you need to know not only what color cherry blossom goes with, but also what style this shade suits. Cherry tone goes well with natural stone, glass or metal surfaces, so it is often used in high-tech and urban interiors.
The combination of several shades, which contain notes of cherry, makes it possible to create a sophisticated atmosphere of country or fusion style. Even a discreet Finnish or maritime style will acquire a certain colorfulness and flavor if cherry accessories are present in the decor.
In the bedroom
Mustard is most often used either to decorate walls or to create large interior accents using, for example, sofas or curtains. The most successful duets are obtained with classic light shades of warm tones. White, chocolate, and beige colors will be an excellent color partner in the bedroom.
In the bedroom, mustard color can be used as curtains, blankets, bedspreads and, of course, wallpaper. It goes great in the bedroom with soft green bed linen. Such a room will set you up for a sound, healthy sleep.
Choosing bedroom furniture is more difficult. It will require darker walls and shades of other objects in the room. Surrounded by lighter tones, mustard will seem out of place, and if the surrounding tones turn out to be cold, it will completely lose all its advantages. In dark bedrooms, mustard-colored details - curtains, paintings, vases - will look good. The room will then immediately seem more lived-in and homely.
“Mustard + shades of green”
As we have said more than once, there is nothing difficult in building monochrome combinations. As you might guess, you need to play with shades of the same color, defining one of them as the dominant one, and assigning the others the role of complementary ones. If a mustard sofa is your dominant feature in the interior, make sure that the accent colors do not accidentally occupy a larger area than it. Or turn a green sofa into an interesting accent by decorating the room in subtle shades of herbal and mint.
"Mustard + light green"
If you want to shift the interior vector towards freshness and richness, you cannot do without light green color. Like the olive sofa in the interior, the mustard one will benefit from such a neighborhood, acquiring exactly what it lacks - the brightness of colors. To light green, in turn, you can add a little pink, then you will get a really stylish complex combination.
"Mustard + mint"
We call mint not the greenery of this plant, but a pastel green-blue color, which is at the same time dense and transparent, dim and noticeable. Mint color refreshes any interior well, visually expands the walls, makes the atmosphere a little cooler, but much lighter. Analyzing the following photo, we can notice that mint is an excellent background for a mustard sofa, but they should not be placed very close to each other in the interior. In a word – yes to wallpaper, no to pillows!
Natural shades of the surrounding world - sand, sky, water, grass - are organic and comfortable for human perception. Decorating a home in them is reasonable, but not easy. After all, only calm tones can be boring and banal. At the same time, saturated colors can irritate. How to use a bright enough mustard color in the interior to create an expressive and comfortable design? It is necessary to take into account the laws of combination and the meaning of color.
In the kitchen
In the kitchen, color will create a comfortable homely atmosphere. In addition, it improves appetite, as it is a warm shade. If the kitchen is small, then there should not be a lot of mustard in it, so as not to darken the room. In a bright kitchen, it is quite enough to introduce elements of this shade - a kitchen apron and blinds, which, in combination with a light wooden floor and worktop, will make a magnificent ensemble. If the kitchen faces south and the lighting allows, you can introduce an additional element into the interior - a mustard-colored wall. In this case, you will have to try to choose the color of a harmonious companion.
If, in addition to mustard, you want to introduce another tone into the interior: for example, use mustard facades and yellow skins, then in order not to overload the room with colors, it needs to be diluted with a white background. Well, let us remind you once again that bright colors are more often used in the interior of large kitchens. A kitchen set in a wenge shade will look good in a mustard kitchen, which can be complemented with beige and olive colors.
Color combinations for yellow curtains
Bright colors are aggressive, so they need to be diluted in the interior. For example, lime curtains in combination with emerald walls will make the room acidic
Therefore, it is important to combine colors correctly
Green with all its shades
Trefoil, jade, malachite, pine, and asparagus harmonize well with vanilla curtains. For darker designs, combinations of viridian and olive yellow are suitable. Curtains in the color of golden haze or chardonnay will add freshness to a room with pistachio walls.
Blue with its shades
Using pure yellow you can create bright accents in an interior decorated primarily in ultramarine. To achieve contrast, you can use lemon in combination with an electric blue shade. Delicate vanilla harmonizes with indigo. If the walls are painted cobalt, chardonnay curtains will transform the room into a sophisticated relaxation room.
Bright orange and red
Colors of the same spectrum combine well with each other. Yellow harmonizes with both red and orange. The shade of the curtains must be selected to match the prevailing tone. Rooms decorated with gradient combinations look stylish.
Amber curtains will go well with melon-colored wallpaper. Peach walls harmonize with sandy curtains.
Mustard color in the interior
Brown
Furniture made of birch, pine or oak does not go well with all yellow curtains. To make the room look luxurious, you need to use curtains in the colors of champagne, chardonnay, custard, wheat and banana. You can combine rich tones with brown if it is pastel. Birch harmonizes with lemon and honey.
White, beige
To create a light or romantic atmosphere, yellow curtains can be combined with white furniture. White color is considered universal, so all shades are in harmony with it: from dark honey to delicate vanilla
It doesn’t matter which tone will lead in the design
Lilac, lilac
Any shade of pink can be combined with yellow curtains. If the room has soft lilac walls, Chardonnay curtains will make the design airy. Lemon tones will also look harmonious. To create accents in a room where the lilac color stands out, use bright yellow curtains.
Burgundy
Tangerine, gold or saffron make the design sophisticated. Often designers combine sunrise-colored curtains with burgundy walls. A lemonade shade will help make the room feel less busy.
In the hall
The choice of mustard for decorating a hallway is a controversial issue. Only in rare houses is the hallway spacious and with windows. In a huge number of modern apartments, the hallway is miniature and dark. And mustard will make this room even heavier and darker. Of course, you can find a rich yellow shade - then the rules for placing yellow in the interior will apply to it.
A noble mustard color will bring notes of bravado and chic into the interior of the hallway. The brownish tint in it will make the decor more stylish and give it respectability. This interior can be complemented with polished furniture and metal elements (for example, a shoe rack) in silver.
In bathroom
Rich shades of mustard will become a bright accent in a traditional white bath. This color scheme will fill the room with comfort, warmth, joyful and cheerful mood. A bright accent on the light background of the walls will be textiles, curtains in the bathtub, and accessories in bright mustard colors.
An interesting option is completely mustard walls. This solution carries a certain charm, especially in combination with white sanitaryware. This shade goes well with sea green accessories. Complete the interior with blue-green towels and toothbrush cups and enjoy the natural African color.
Furniture
Spectacular mustard is a complex color that requires a lot of thought. The peculiarity of this color is activity, which reveals itself when surrounded by warm tones. In order for mustard furniture to look harmonious with the background and surroundings, you should follow a very simple rule: other shades in the room should be slightly darker. To create a spectacular color, taupe, beige and sea green are suitable. If you simply place a chair in a white, mustard-colored interior, the air will seem to be filled with sunshine. A mustard chair with a purple blanket will look even more interesting.
Textile
There is no simpler option for updating the interior than changing textiles. What is textiles in the living room? This is the upholstery of upholstered furniture - armchairs and sofas, curtains; in the bedroom - a bedspread, pouf upholstery, pillows, curtains; in the kitchen there are curtains and kitchen towels. Textiles play a big role in creating the interior mood.
If the room has already been renovated and there is a certain primary background color, the upholstery takes on the role of a secondary color. Mustard-colored textiles can be decorated with a pattern or ornament of a contrasting color or the same tone, but of a different shade. Which pattern to choose is a matter of style: there is a certain rule - the more modern the interior, the more laconic and stylized the ornament. The traditional monogram will remain for the classics.
If mustard-colored curtains need to be combined with a different-colored sofa, you can use a long-known technique: sew pillows to match the shade of the curtain or sofa, but with a mustard-colored pattern. Modern manufacturers are developing collections that allow you to choose the best combination of textiles for rooms. In one line you can find curtain and upholstery fabrics, lighter delicate tulle. With this approach it is easier to transform your home.
Combinations with other colors
The difficulties of working with mustard depend on the depth of tone. The darker the tone, the more difficult it is to choose the optimal companion for it. You can list the following tones that will look good with mustard:
- beige, cream;
- blue, blue, turquoise, green;
- black and white;
- yellow and brown;
- grey;
- orange, burgundy, purple.
What shades can be mentioned:
- To create a warm, cozy interior, you should use mustard, beige and their shades. This is the optimal combination for bedrooms located on the north side.
- Black and white will always go well with mustard. Black will help build absolute proportions, allow you to zone the room, and introduce a certain rigor. White will refresh the interior and give it a little more space.
- Mustard makes excellent contact with its companions - yellow and brown. Yellow will add more dynamics and energy to the interior, and brown will add intelligence and style. Yellow background wallpaper can be glued in any room where it would be appropriate, but brown wallpaper will look good only in spacious rooms.
- Combinations of mustard and green are considered fashionable. These are summer pairs of tones that add positive emotions, motifs of lightness and freshness.
- The combination with gray allows you to create a modern high-tech interior. In most cases, such an interior will have plain wallpaper and metal furniture.

Where is the best place to adopt a kitten?
A simple and reliable option is to adopt a pet from friends. In addition, the method is quite cheap, because in most cases the kitten is given away for a nominal fee. But he will still need to be seen by a veterinarian, even if he has been eating well, living clean, and the mother cat has been vaccinated and healthy.
Catteries offer expensive purebred kittens. They have all the documents; in the future, such animals can take part in exhibitions and competitions. The presence of vaccination cards and certificates guarantees that all age-appropriate procedures have been carried out and the kitten is healthy. In the nursery you can also get advice and valuable advice regarding the upbringing, character of the animal and its care.
Lately, kittens are being adopted more and more often from shelters. They are usually overcrowded, so taking an animal there means not only helping it find a home, but also making room for another homeless pet. Kittens in shelters are well-groomed and under the supervision of a veterinarian. Pedigree animals often end up in them. However, outwardly outbred pets look no worse, and they also have stronger immunity. Shelter staff will talk about the cat’s behavior and character
This is especially important for adult animals that lived with their owners for a long time before becoming homeless.
Kittens can be separated from the cat at the age of 2 months. Previously, this was difficult to do, since they did not know how to eat or care for themselves, and it was dangerous. After all, with mother's milk, kittens receive the necessary substances for normal growth and development. In addition, the cat must teach children to lick themselves, go to the toilet carefully, and protect themselves from external danger.
The appearance of an animal can say a lot about its condition. A healthy kitten has shiny fur and clean ears. He should not be thin or overly plump. This may be due to problems in the digestive tract. Discharge from the eyes or nose, unhealthy gum color, or inflammation in the mouth are also indicators of various diseases. Animals with health problems are rarely active. Before you adopt a kitten, you should watch it: it should move and play a lot. This is one of the main indicators of his health.
