When you think of chocolate brown, you probably picture autumnal scenes - leaves changing colour, dark, chilly nights, and comforting layers.

But this summer, chocolate brown has also become one of the standout colour trends of the season. Rich and earthy brown hues are dominating the high street, with brown linen trousers replacing go-to denim and brown raffia tote bags being the number one holiday accessory of choice.

The colourway has also extended to interiors, where the chic shade can instantly elevate any room.

If you're thinking about trying the trend and incorporating it into your living space, then this Habitat earthy cocoa brown and cream striped bedding set should be top of your homewares list.

The set is made from 100% cotton with a 144 thread count, so it will feel super soft and comfortable on your skin, which is just what you want for a cosy night's sleep.

If the pretty colour pairing wasn't chic enough, the Oxford edges give the bedding a timeless finish, complementing the colour palette and creating a warm, inviting feel. As well as the duvet cover, the set also comes with two stylish Oxford pillowcases.

The set is priced at £26 for a double and measures 200cm x 200cm, while the king size costs £30 and measures 220cm x 230cm. It also comes in single (£22, 200cm x 135cm) and super king (£34, 220cm x 260cm ). You can machine wash it at 40C and it's suitable for tumble drying.
