You Aren't Tripping—Mushrooms Are the Latest Interior Design Trend
Shop our favorite 'shroom-inspired décor to add a little fun(gi) to your home.
Mushrooms have been quietly growing underfoot since long before there were feet under which they could grow. Fungi predate humans, animals, and even plants, and yet it’s only now, almost a billion years after they first appeared, that these ancient beings have taken over the world. 'Shrooms may have been hanging out on plates and tinctures in some parts of the planet for centuries, but they’ve recently become ubiquitous in such spaces while also spreading their spores into unexpected realms, like fashion, art, culture, skin care, and sustainability. Now, they’re making a jump from the forest floor to indoor dwellings; fungi's final frontier, it seems, is the home.
Whether you want to add a few accessories to your space to pay homage to your favorite fungi or turn your home into a full-on mushroom manor, options abound. From diffusers to dish towels, everything interior design is suddenly coming up 'shrooms. Below, shop some of Shroomboom’s favorite picks.
