Mustard interiors are hot right now: how to decorate your home with this season's boldest shade

Symbolising bright sunshine, yellow is the ideal choice for spring as the weather warms up.

Inspiration website Pinterest has seen a 45 per cent increase in Pinners saving mustard yellow interiors, as the site earmarks it as one of their most popular decorating trends of 2019.

"We are seeing that people are growing confidence with their colour choices throughout the home. A colour like mustard is bold and warm and can be seen as quite an intimidating colour but actually it's really versatile and gaining popularity," says Larkin Brown, User Researcher at Pinterest.

"Many people are incorporating mustard into statement pieces such as side cabinets in the lounge or contrasting it with something unexpected like deep teal blue that really provides a punch."

Mustard paint will instantly add light and warmth to any room, so if you really want to go for it, opt for this bright shade from Crown, priced at £18 for 2.5 litres.

Try it out in the smallest room in your house, such as the bathroom or really embrace it in a dining room or kitchen.

"Mustard is a warm colour that adds a bit of happiness to any colour palette," says Pinner and blogger Erica Chan Coffman, who likes to add the shade by mixing it into existing colour schemes.

I like to bring in textures through the lounge…rugs, pillows and little objects on the table featuring this colour. A statement lamp and greenery can also warm up the room and make it feel lived in."

Even IKEA's iconic Billy bookcase, pictured above and priced at £45, has been given a new vibrant yellow makeover for this year.

Use the colour as a contrast against a dark charcoal grey and different shades of cbue such as an inky navy or bright teal.
