Mushroom shapes have risen from the forest floor, and it’s impossible to ignore their quiet takeover. What once felt whimsical – or even a touch eccentric – like toadstool lamps, now graces some of the most refined interiors. There’s an undeniable charm in the gentle curve of a cap or the soft taper of a stem, offering a sculptural quality that immediately captures the eye.
For years, these motifs were firmly rooted in rustic decor, celebrated for their connection to nature and the outdoors, and often found in cottage kitchens, woodland prints, and spaces imbued with rural nostalgia.
Back in autumn, I bought this beautiful mushroom tablecloth from Daylesford, and I’ve been swamped with compliments on it ever since. Soon after bringing it home, I started spotting these fungi-inspired forms in all of my favourite shops. In particular, Anthropologie has gone absolutely wild for shroomy shapes, and it quickly became clear that this trend is big – and here to stay.
For my Christmas tree this year, I went all out, creating the most eccentric, maximalist display imaginable, smothering it in psychedelic mushroom decorations from ABASK. They are, without question, my favourite purchase of 2025, and now I’m officially a fully-fledged fungi fan.
Our Favourite Funghi Finds
Summerhill & Bishop have been big fans of the mushroom aesthetic for some time, and all of their tableware is deeply desirable. They have the mushroom motif on plates, tablecloths, and their funghi napkins are particularly smile-inducing.
A charming brass toadstool hook with a little snail perched on the end. These make for a fun and playful alternative to regular old, dare I say it, boring hooks.
A very pretty battery operated portable lamp that adds heaps of warmth and ambiance to any room. It comes in pink, white and blue colourways and they each look far more expensive than they really are.
Inject a little fun and whimsy into your front porch with this pretty toadstool welcome mat. Amazon also has a mushroom motif doormat on sale, which is just as charming.
This makes for a wonderful alternative to the admittedly pricey ABASK mushroom tree decorations. I would also consider the mushroom decorations available at Zara Home, which clip on to a branch rather than hang, which I think looks even more magical, as if they're growing from the tree.
Paddywax is everywhere at the moment, and this candle has heart notes of enoki mushroom, rosemary and dry earth, so one to try if you love those organic, earthy scents.
A beautiful designer glass bottle that is so delicate and pretty, it really would be most suited to sitting proudly on a shelf. Another stunning gift for those that appreciate the finer things in life.
Did I just see a little gnome? These darling salt and pepper shakers make for a gorgeous gift but also add a bit of necessary kitsch to the dining table.
Part of the In the Garden of My Dreams collection, it depicts a wild forest floor bustling with beautiful mushrooms and toadstools. Try draping over a wooden table to bring an autumnal aesthetic to your dinner setting.
Perhaps mushroom-shaped decor is flourishing because it taps into a broader cultural appetite for organic, nature-inspired forms. In a world dominated by the constant jostle of social media, increasing screen time, and years of austere minimalism, people are drawn to objects that feel tactile, comforting, and grounded.
The fascination with organic, curvilinear shapes is not new. During the 1970s, designers embraced flowing forms as a reaction against rigid modernist lines, favouring furniture, lighting, and decorative accessories that felt whimsical, tactile, and optimistic. Mushroom-shaped decor has emerged as a signature motif of this revival, channeling the psychedelic optimism of that era. Rounded caps, flowing stems, and playful silhouettes echo the bold curves and fluid designs that defined 1970s interiors, where the surreal met the functional.
This psychedelic resurgence also reflects a cultural desire for interiors that feel experiential rather than purely utilitarian. Homes are increasingly seen as spaces for self-expression, where the sculptural and tactile coexist with everyday life. Mushroom motifs, alongside other sinuous, nature-inspired forms, spark curiosity and delight. Today, these shapes are being reimagined with a contemporary twist: glossy finishes, jewel tones, smoked glass, and metallic accents lend them a sophisticated, modern edge while retaining their playful, nostalgic charm.
Exploring the mushroom trend has reminded me that interiors are at their most exciting when they surprise and delight. Even small accents, a sculptural lamp, a curvy vase, or a tactile doormat, can transform the energy of a room and spark a sense of playfulness. It’s a trend that encourages curiosity and experimentation, inviting collectors and decorators alike to mix, layer, and discover unexpected combinations.
What I love most is how these pieces turn ordinary corners into moments of joy. They reward attention, invite touch, and create a narrative within the home that feels personal and expressive. Whether you invest in a statement piece or start with smaller touches, mushroom-inspired objects are a reminder that design can be fun, immersive, and entirely your own.
