If you’ve been following me for a while you will know that I love a mustardy burnt yellow. From the nursery in our old home, to the ceiling of the guest room in our current home and the exterior windows and doors as well, it’s a colour I’ve never strayed too far from.

Mustard tones seemed to be everywhere from clothing and sofas, to cushions and accessories, but now I am seeing a new, more buttery yellow popping up and I am not mad about it. Its soft warm tones are maybe slightly harder to perfect than the mustard - get it too light and it may look magnolia, or too bright and it verges on primary school toilets - but done just right, it can look wonderful.

The colour is perfect for softer more traditional interiors, providing a fresh warm sunny look without being too bold.

The Inspiration: Butter Yellow Interiors:

Having collated these images, I found it interesting that most of the inspiration I found that I loved, was actually using butter yellow colours on the woodwork, rather than walls. As you can see kitchens, bespoke storage and tongue and groove panelling feature heavily, and I think that may be because butter yellow tones on the walls, reminds me a little of nursery decor.

After a while of seeing this hue, and as the trend saturates all areas of style and design, will I begin to love it on walls too? We shall see! But for now, here are some gorgeous delicate and warm buttery yellow paints for your colour schemes.
