Make way for mushrooms, as it seems we’ll be seeing a lot more of them in the world of interiors over the coming months.
So cue the fungi puns.
Over recent years, mushrooms have been praised for their immune-boosting and sustainable properties – but mainly in relation to food.
Now the ingredient is taking the interior world by storm – as we’re seeing mushroom motifs pop up all over the place.
Following the rise of cabincore, dopamine decor and the whimsigoth asthetic in 2022, mushroom-inspired homeware – be it duvet covers, posters, cushions or plates – is now predicted to be prominent in a big way this year.
And we are already seeing it take place, as the retro mushroom lamps that were popular in the 60s and 70s are now – just like Y2K fashion – having a revival with Gen Z.
The 2023 fungi update sees them not only as lamps but as paperweights too, in a whole host of designs – from subtle neutrals to glistening disco-ball inspired varieties. And with them being such an interesting talking point in a room, it’s not hard to see why.
While it may seem a little random, experts are saying this mushroom surge is pegged to the growing ‘weirdcore decor’ trend – AKA, people turning to maximalism as a form of self-expression.
In fact, many say this will only continue to rise in the year ahead – so expect more to come.
We’ve collated some of our favourite mushroom buys on the high street – whether you want to go all out, or simply dip your toe in the trend.
