PICK A PUNCHY PINEAPPLE
This is the must-have fruit for rooms, and suits our growing passion for all things tropical.
“Pineapples have always been a symbol of hospitality and have historically been associated with the mysteries and flavours of the tropics. Some aspects of that still carry forward to today, making pineapples a bold, chic choice to decorate your home with flair,” says Rebecca Snowden, interior style advisor, Furniture Choice.
“Their distinctive shape and tall crowns make them a perfect choice for a playful print with lots of character - a feature wall covered in pineapple wallpaper is a cheerful addition to the home, great for the living room, kitchen, or even an entryway,” she adds. “Their sweet, kitschy appeal allows them to be utilised in unexpected ways, such as pineapple bookends, cushions, and even candle holders.” If you’ve really fallen for the fruit, Wallsauce’s Pink Pineapple Wall Mural, from £26 per square metre, would make a statement.
■ DECOR TIP: To make this look your own, experiment with colour. For a lighter touch, play with bright, neon colours, and for more sophistication, consider a metallic finish, such as gold or bronze.
