Mustard bathroom: how to decorate

Mustard — warm, muted yellow — brings a retro feel and warmth without bright yellow's shout. It's one of the most rewarding accent colours against grey and blue.

How mustard works in the bathroom

In the bathroom, mustard towels lift a neutral room with a warm, retro spark.

Keep in mind what's specific to this room: that tile and porcelain are fixed, so colour comes via textiles and detail. That decides how much colour can show and where it does the most good.

Colours that pair well with mustard

Mustard lifts grey, navy and off-white, and plays with teak and brass. A signature mid-century colour.

Materials and details

Velvet and wool make mustard luxurious; teak and dark wood amplify the retro feel.

The most common mistake

Using mustard over too-large surfaces — it's strongest as an accent in textiles, furniture or art.

See mustard in the bathroom — before you paint

The hard thing about colour is that it looks completely different in different light and rooms. Instead of gambling on a tin of paint: upload a photo of the bathroom and type "repaint the bathroom in mustard". In a minute you'll see the result in your own light — and can try several shades before deciding.
