While the idea of painting your home beige may seem uninspiring, toasty colours are replacing the cool greys which have been in fashion for a decade.

Interior designers and high-end paint sellers are celebrating warm off-white colours and encouraging people to paint their homes beige.

Charlotte Cosby, Head of Creative at Farrow and Ball told The Telegraph: "There is a real movement towards brown based tones and warm woody neutrals, stepping away from the cooler greys that have filled homes for the last ten years.

"Our new colour Jitney is a great example of this, offering a sandier update on beige that feels altogether more fitting for today’s modern home."
