One of the most chic shades in fashion this year is camel. And it seems the interior design world has also fallen in love with this muted, sophisticated colour and its tonal sisters - sand, taupe, light tan and beige. Yes, folks, Beige is Back. And beige doesn't have to be boring! We look at some inspiring interiors that embrace this elegant shade...

This superbly-styled scene is one of many in brand new interior design book My Residence. Celebrated stylist Josefin Hååg shows how a modern beige look is done. Using beige as a base, Josefin has layered warm textures, natural light timber and punches of black to striking effect.
