If there's one interior colour scheme that's having a moment this spring, it's blue and brown. Combining earth tones with a bold shade, it's a perfect mix of sophistication and vibrancy. Plus, it gives a subtle nod to nostalgia with a cool '70s feel.
Here at Cosmo, we've been spotlighting some of our favourite high street decor items that nail the trend. From this comfy reversible bedding from M&S to Next's luxe velvet-style cushion, there are so many ways you can incorporate the colour combo into your home.
Speaking of Next, the store has just released *another* stunning cushion — this time, in the beloved pinstripe design.
Featuring thick vertical stripes that alternate between brown and blue, it's made with a soft, inviting chenille fabric, which adds a subtle, plush texture that elevates the simple pattern. The timeless feel of the cushion is the perfect statement piece for any room, whether it be a focal point to your sofa, armchair, or bed.
While the classic 50 x 50cm comes in at a very affordable £14 (yep, that means we won't feel bad about adding two to our basket to go on either side of our couch), it's also available in larger sizes and variations, including a bolster-style.

However, if you do choose a different size or style, know that you'll have to sacrifice the blue and brown colour scheme. But, for those who love a calming sage green, a monochrome black and white, or a soothing natural, it's the perfect choice. Oh, and we're also low-key obsessed with the pink version, too.
