Hello from Sunset Home & Design,
The mushroom has entered the chat. According to Pinterest’s 2023 Pinterest Predicts report—which looks at search data to forecast what will be trending in the future—the quirky fungi motif will be everywhere in home design. And it looks like the folks at Pinterest are pretty good at peering into that crystal ball because for the last three years, 80% of the brand’s predictions have come true.
So why mushrooms? Well, aside from the fact that they lend a whimsical, playful, and nature-inspired aesthetic to any space, they’re also linked to “weirdcore” design. “During lockdowns, people needed new ways to express themselves creatively without leaving home,” the folks at Pinterest stated in the report. “So, they turned their bedrooms into creative havens and experimented with aesthetics like ‘weirdcore decor.’ This form of maximalist self-expression will only continue to rise in the year ahead.”
What do you think of the emerging trend? If you’re ready to jump in, we've compiled a list of our favorite mushroom decor buys, from lamps to plates to candles. Live well, |
