Time for a change to magnolia

A REKINDLING of our national love affair with magnolia paint is the likely result of years of Changing Rooms.

But even though the BBC has decided that this autumn's series of the popular house makeover show is its last, the programme has certainly made a huge difference to our homes.

We may now be going back to neutral shades, but there are still enough local walls bearing purple paint and abstract painting to bear witness to Changing Rooms' influence.

Ah well, back to thinking for ourselves.
