Fruit-inspired decor is always a fun way to add whimsy to a room’s aesthetic. For example, you can channel carefree Italian summer vibes by brightening up a space with citrus accents like oranges and lemons. If you want something a little more vibrant and playful, make sure to include cherry-themed decor in your design. This cute red fruit has been trending for months, and there are so many ways to make it work in your space. 

Cherries are kind of the opposite aesthetic of the citrus core. They give NYC “cool” meets cottagecore — with a hint of coquette. The sweet fruit designs are popping up everywhere: on clothes, phone cases, wallets, and, most importantly (for our purposes), home decor! I don’t know if it’s the bold red or the playful designs, but I gravitate toward cherry graphics more than any other fruit aesthetic. 

Whether you want to go full-on cherry or just want to hint at it, you can choose from these nine trendy cherry-themed decor items. You could even buy all of them for just over $150 to fully live out your cherry design fantasies.

This cherry bow wall art is a NEED for me. It combines the chic cherry design with the coquette bow trend so perfectly. Its minimalist design lets the cherries be the star of the show, with the pink bow perfectly complementing the cherry pair — it’d be great as a centerpiece for a room.
