This Surprising Food-Themed Decor Item Could Not Be More Perfect for Summer (and It’s $5!)
Food decor has been trending for a while now — hello, strawberry trinkets and cherry details — but now tomato season and its themed home items have arrived!
Target is selling the loveliest ceramic tomato vase in the Bullseye’s Playground section for only $5. It’s 7.88 inches tall and 3.5 inches in diameter, and it’s made up of three juicy red tomatoes stacked on top of each other.
In reviews on Target.com, buyers pointed out how adorable the vase is, noting too that it’s pretty slender. “Love it! Narrow base but perfect for what I needed. Very quirky,” one reviewer wrote. “Very narrow vase. It is super cute and vibrant in color which makes up for the lack of space. I’d use this for a few flowers instead of larger bouquets. But the charisma it has is infectious!” said another.
I can just picture a handful of brightly colored stems in it! In fact, TikToker @lifewithme_tanair showed the vase in action in their home next to another food decor item (cherry pie). They filled their vase with a few yellow tulips, which nicely contrast with the red of the tomatoes.
Another TikToker, Grace Smith (@gracedanielleyt), also featured the tomato vase in a video about lots of the new warm-weather finds in Target’s Bullseye’s section. “That’s so summery,” Smith says of the vase in the TikTok.
I think this season — spring, with summer on the horizon — is a great time to get out of your comfort zone decor-wise because everything you see is super bright and colorful. You can bring some extra life into your space in preparation for the extra-hot days of summer. And I think tomatoes are an especially fun design detail, as they’re not as common as other foods for decor.
Target’s tomato vase is only available in stores at the moment (you can check store availability at Target.com). But if you’re hoping to infuse your space with some tomatoes via online shopping, here are a few other cute home decor items you can buy from your phone.
This planter looks like a real vintage tomato can, with a warm color scheme and space for a small plant. You don’t have a green thumb? No fear: You can use this anywhere in your kitchen to store your larger cooking utensils.
This tomato plant mister goes perfectly with the tomato can ceramic planter above. They make the cutest tomato-themed duo.
Target is also currently selling this adorable red tomato throw pillow. Toss it on a couch or bed to show off your excitement for the season (or love of produce)!
