Fall Trends: Mustard Yellow

Though some people look washed out or even jaundiced when wearing mustard yellow, home decor that features mustard yellow is an entirely different color. In fact, mustard yellow is the perfect color for fall home accessories and it tends to come back every couple of years, if not every year. If you’re considering remodeling or simply just looking to infuse a little bit of trendy color into your home accessories and decor, mustard yellow might be for you.

Everyone’s idea of mustard yellow tends to vary slightly in hue, some feel it’s vibrant and bold, others feel it has a little bit of brown. Whatever your hue may be, just embrace it. Yellow is one of those fun, careful and happy colors. You truly cannot go wrong. You can use it as an accent color or you can use it as your main color, you can even use it as a neutral if you do so wisely.

If you are remodeling an entire room using mustard yellow, the important thing to choose is whether you will use yellow as a neutral or if you will use it as a single color in a color palette. Mustard yellow works well on the walls in the form of striped paint finishes or over grasscloth. If you choose to do a color palette, then pair it with colors such as black and white or a shade of cream or ivory. For various fixtures in your house, you can use oil rubbed bronze, brass or gold.

When choosing furniture, remember that mustard yellow pairs well with another recent trend: reclaimed wood. You can purchase various furnitures that feature reclaimed wood, from dining tables to coffee tables, bookshelves and office desks; the possibilities are endless.

Of course, there are small ways that you can incorporate this yellow hue into your home. Vases, charger plates and various pieces of wall art are all easy ways to incorporate this shade into your home decor.

During the fall, mustard yellow table decor would look perfectly at home. You can find pumpkins, leaf table decorations and various gourds in shades of yellow.

If you can’t find the right hue while out searching for home accessories and decor, keep in mind that a can of spray paint is a cure-all. If you find the perfect vase but it’s white, simply spray paint it using your perfect yellow hue. The same goes for framed oval mirrors, picture frames and various other accessories. Just be sure to read the instructions, as not all brands will allow you to spray paint metal, wooden and glass items.
