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 vibes in your design. This cute red fruit has been trending for a bit, 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.
