Over the past couple of years, pineapples have been everywhere in summer fashion, home food and beverage trends. Rio 2016 inspired a tropical fruit frenzy, which is still taking pride of place on our high streets – but for how long?
2017 has seen the unexpected arrival of the Cactus – botanical trends are set to steal the show from the pineapple this summer.
Playful product design sees cactuses (and pineapples) appearing on a range of quirky items, used throughout the home. The cactus as a design motif has been seen this year on candle holders, lamps, t-shirts, cards, you name it – there’s a prickly cactus popping up!

With just a quick sweep of the high street, you can easily bring 2017’s hottest trend into, or outside your home.

TK Maxx have also cottoned on to the popular mother-nature derived motif for 2017 and added salt and pepper shakers to their vast range of homewares.

Not only can this trend be featured in your home. Fashion designers have also been featuring cactuses throughout the runways this season, and New Look have added this cute – but prickly sentiment to their SS17 range.
So, ditch last year’s pineapple and look sharp by incorporating this botanical trend into your home – and wardrobe this summer!
