Fruit Wallpaper: The Guide

Due to its ability to add colour to a room and its variety of shapes and styles, fruit wallpaper has always been an exceedingly popular choice for a plethora of interior decoration concepts. Fruit and vegetables can liven up a room with a specific colour accent, making an otherwise monotone space look fresh and inviting. Fruit wallpaper comes in many different forms, from simple and stylised patterns featuring bright colours that work well with contemporary designs to more artistic, intricate, and detailed designs with muted hues that suit more traditional décor solutions. Their refreshing and calming shapes and inviting colours also make them an ideal backdrop for nurseries and children’s rooms as well as catering establishments like restaurants, smoothie bars or ice cream parlours.

Which colourful fruits are often depicted on wallpaper patterns?

Fruits have been depicted on different works of art for millennia. Wallpapers and textiles are no exception, and the familiar shapes and colours of fruits and vegetables feature in many popular patterns. The most frequently used motifs include apples, cherries, pears, strawberries, lemons, oranges, plums, and pineapples.

Lemons

The soft yellow of this zesty fruit spreads the energy of the sun, making it a suitable candidate for bright and cheery interior design concepts. Combined with its green leaves, lemon-themed wall décor is a great addition to nurseries, children’s rooms and any space that could use a summery, Mediterranean vibe.

Oranges

With a hue that defines the Seventies, wallpapers with oranges are often used for vibrant and colourful interior designs ideas that carry a certain retro energy. With its round, cheerful shape and its short green stem emerging from the top, this fruit is also depicted in a stylised from that can bring a touch of happiness to kitchens and children’s rooms.

Apples

Few fruits carry a stronger allegorical value than the humble apple. Since Roman times, it has been associated with Venus, the Goddess of Love, whilst it is of course also known as the forbidden fruit of Paradise. It’s no surprise that its iconic shape has often been used in the arts and on textiles by artists and designers ranging from Magritte to William Morris wallpaper patterns. Its variety of colours and round shape make the apple the perfect motif for countless wall décor ideas.

Pears

Although a native fruit of the temperate regions of the Mediterranean, this juicy fruit with soft flesh and a sweet taste has spread throughout the world. It carries a deep symbolic meaning alluding to prosperity and good health. Its shape evokes the female form, and it has for this reason been used to represent femininity in arts. In terms of wall décor, pears are frequently used to symbolise abundance and bountiful harvests in autumn-themed wallpapers.

Pineapple

A fruit with an iconic and unique shape, the pineapple is the very incarnation of the visual appeal of the tropical style. Its bright, yellow colour mirrors the sunshine of the hot countries from which it originates while its green crown seems to explode from the top of this delicious fruit. Its unique and complex shape is often used in decorative and complex wall décor damask patterns.

Plums

Plums were one of the first fruits to be domesticated by humans, having been cultivated by our ancestors as far back as the Neolithic age. Due to the sophisticated purple colour that carries a subtle darker red tinge, plum-themed wallpapers can bring an almost royal sense of elegance to any space and are therefore ideal for statement rooms.

Cherries

In common imagery, cherries carry a distinctly sensual and mysterious allure. Their dark, red flesh represents a symbology that is starkly different from the white petals of the flowers that precede it. Cherry-themed wallpaper models tend to either represent the fruit in a bright and traditional manner or (as the fruit is originally from Asia) depict the stunning branches of its tree in full bloom (for oriental interior design solutions).

Strawberries

With its bright red colour dotted with yellow seeds, the ornamental and symmetrical shape of its sepal, and its unmistakeable shape, the strawberry is undoubtedly one of the most iconic and frequently depicted fruits in interior decoration. Printed on wallpapers and fabrics in countless variations from classic motifs to kawaii patterns, it never fails to bring joy and a cheeky sense of fun.

What are the most popular vegetables featured on wallpapers?

While slightly less common than their fruit counterparts, vegetables have inspired countless wallpaper designs. From the humble onion to the elegant stems of the rhubarb or the unusual beauty of blooming artichoke plants, there is a plethora of motifs to pick.

Artichokes

Few vegetables look more alien than the green artichoke. A native Mediterranean plant, enjoyed by both European and Arab populations for millennia, the artichoke plant with its tightly packed leaves and pointy ends resembles an oriental suit of armour. When in bloom it produces a glorious explosion of blue-violet flowers that have inspired many wallpaper designs, the most famous of them being the iconic John Henry Dearle model for Morris & Co.

Rhubarb

The pastel red colour of the rhubarb stalk provides an elegant contrast to the bright green of its leaves which has often been used interior decoration concepts. A staple of pies, puddings and dessert, rhubarb has transcended its oriental origins to become a popular ingredient in North American and European cuisines. As a wallpaper pattern it is often represented in a flat, stylised form with bright colours.

Onions

Although it might seem an odd choice at first glance, this perennial staple is an excellent choice when it comes to pick a motif that represents the very essence of food culture. This iconic bulb has been featured in countless paintings over many centuries and it is often associated with French cuisine, making an onion-themed wallpaper a fantastic way to add a certain French je ne sais quoi to a cosy dining room.

Which are the rooms where fruit or vegetable motifs work best?

A fruit or vegetable-themed wallpaper is the perfect choice for any room of the house requiring a splash of colour, but it is naturally best suited to spaces where food is consumed, for instance in the kitchen, dining room, or even a restaurant.

Kitchen

The natural heart of the house where the family gathers to enjoy meals together, any kitchen can benefit immensely from a cheerful fruit-themed wallpaper which can have a both energising and relaxing effect and set the right mood for a healthy breakfast or a relaxed dinner after a hard day’s work. To protect the wall décor from potential splashes of water or oily liquids, a model with a robust vinyl coated surface is the best choice.

Dining Room

Our minds subconsciously pick up visual cues from the environment that surrounds us, and a place designed for convivial gatherings and for enjoying meals with family and friends is well suited for an elegant wallpaper featuring a fruit or vegetable pattern in a classic style such as those created by William Morris, or in more stylised and modern design.

Gastronomy

The fun and colourful nature of fruit wallpaper makes it a perfect choice for food establishments looking for that happy and elusive summery vibe that will put a smile on the face of customers. An ice cream parlour or a juice bar are ideally suited for wall décor concepts featuring summer fruits in bright colours, and restaurants can benefit from a food-themed wallpaper in more muted and subtler hues.
