I used to think decorating with fruit was sickly sweet, but strawberry summer is here – and I can't get enough of this cottagecore decor
This delightfully juicy trend has me in a chokehold, and no one is more surprised than I


Lately, I’ve found myself completely charmed by strawberry home decor. As it turns out, I'm not the only one leaning into the sweet and whimsical trend. Cottagecore fans, listen up: it is time for your strawberry summer.
Pinterest might have declared cherries (and the cherry red color trend) as the fruit of 2025, but I've got it on pretty good authority that, actually, the humble strawberry is the berry to be picking for your summer decor ideas. And now, I can't scroll through any of my frequented homeware sites – and as a Style Editor, there are many – without falling for something strawberry-shaped, strawberry-painted, or strawberry-embroidered.
Strawberries are such a symbol of summer and nostalgia, and when done right, they add both sweetness and sophistication to a space. So, whether you’re curating a full berry-themed tablescape or just looking for a little seasonal pick-me-up, these are the strawberry decor finds I’m currently finding joy in.
9 strawberry home decor finds ripe for the picking
Forget tomato girl summer, 2025 is the year of the strawberry, and naturally, Anthropologie is mostly to blame. As the home of unique and playful home decor, whether it's kitschy salt-and-pepper shakers or a delicate candle holder, there are plenty of charming strawberry finds at Anthro.
On top of that, Joanna Gaines has just dropped her Magnolia Summer 2025 collection, and the strawberry features heavily. In fact, so much so that in her recent Instagram reel showing off the strawberry-decked Silos store, Joanna says: 'Strawberries equal summer' – and I couldn't agree more.
In this edit, I’ve rounded up 9 of my favorite strawberry-themed home decor pieces, from charming ceramics and tableware to wall art and seasonal accents.
Anthropologie's spring collection is filled with beautiful hand-painted, glazed stoneware like this colander that is designed for you to store and rinse your berries in. I love the 3D strawberry and daisy embossing.
At Magnolia, this vintage-inspired still life painting of a bowl of ruby red strawberries is the star of the new collection. It brings cottage charm and a pop of unexpected red to your kitchen shelves.
This is potentially one of the most beautiful and delicate candle holders I've ever seen. I popped into the Anthropologie store recently to see them IRL, and they're just so cheerful. I snapped one up for my spring mantel decor.
I'm a big fan of a pretty matchbox for a coffee table styling idea, and I think I've just found my summer edition. The design on top features sweet little berries, and there are 125 red-tipped matches inside.
Whether you're a cottagecore trend fan and already au fait with fruitcore decor or just looking to sprinkle a little sweetness into your home this season, strawberry decor is such a fun way to add some cheerful charm, even with the smallest touches.

But if strawberries feel a bit too twee for you, might I suggest the equally delicious butter yellow decor? It has quickly become one of my favorite interior design trends of 2025.
