"Oranges, coppers and burnt reds are ideal hues for adding heat."

And while orange interiors might not tick everyone’s boxes when it comes to interiors schemes, it's the perfect complement to another autumn trend.

Victoria added: "Brooding blues are going to be one of the most popular shade this winter, and orange is a great shade to bring through some warmth. Orange and blues work beautifully together and will create a stunning interior scheme that wows."

Victory Colours' range of eco paints are water-based, technically-excellent paint with almost zero VOCs. They are available in 2.5-litre and 5-litre tins of emulsion, soft sheen and eggshell.

Prices start at £44.95 for a 2.5-litre tin of emulsion from victorycolours.co.uk.
