How mustard works in the kitchen
In the kitchen, mustard details or a tile give a cheerful, retro-inspired energy against wood.
Keep in mind what's specific to this room: that cabinets and worktops are fixed, so colour comes via walls, details and textiles. That decides how much colour can show and where it does the most good.
