QI love colour but am too nervous to use it on my walls – yet I’m fed up of living in white rooms. Any tips? Emma Lewis, via TWITTER

This time of year is perfect for embracing colour in your home – white walls can be too cold for the autumn and winter months. Go for rich shades to bring warmth to your space. A deep turquoise combined with purple is ideal and, especially when paired with tactile fur throws and cushions, will create a cosy feel for relaxing spaces like a bedroom.
