Millennial Mustard
This warm hue of yellow is a favorite among the young adult generation known as millennials. Earthy, muted and similar in shade to Dijon mustard, it’s trending in both fashion and furnishings and is transitioning over to home interiors too. Adding this distinctive color is a great way to freshen up a tired décor. Think of a mustard chair or throw pillows or a coat of mustard-inspired paint on the exterior of a freestanding tub. The Furniture Guild has welcomed mustard into its palette of 50+ finish options. The contemporary Angolo vanity looks sleek and sophisticated in a custom mustard matte paint. Featuring integrated finger pulls and mitered corners, the Angolo is popular for its split top drawer and deep bottom drawer with copious storage. Paired with a Guildstone sink in matte white, the yellowish cabinet makes a memorable design statement that is perfect for a modern bathroom.
Shower tiles are a creative way to incorporate mustard into a bathroom design. A mustard-tiled shower would look stunning when paired with a bold drain design, such as the Stream drain system by QuickDrain USA. Created in partnership with renowned architect and designer Michael Graves, Stream features a whimsical wavy design that catches the eye but fits flush into the shower floor. Crafted of 18-gauge 304 stainless steel with a brushed stainless steel finish, the low profile drain system is offered in standard and custom lengths.
Also joining this colorful design trend is a dramatic kitchen faucet by Isenberg that offers a mustard finish option. The Klassiker Kitchen Collection includes modern spouts and graceful goosenecks, all with an industrial-chic look and a surprising range of colors. Isenberg uses advanced resin technology to achieve this vibrant effect with ceramic-based finishes that are eco-friendly and definitely eye-catching. The faucets are cured in the oven and meticulously finished, resulting in an exceptionally durable product that resists scratches, chips and solvents. Klassiker faucets are extremely practical as well, with powerful pull-down sprayers, rotating spouts, and optional industrial grade rubber hose covers.
