Choose a look that is top of the crops

Apple bookends, £12.50, from Ella James Living.

A fun and colourful trend, harvest your fruity homeware according to your taste, says editor of Homes & Bargains website Eve Kelly.

“For a fresh, contemporary look, stick to bold silhouette prints for items like chopping boards, oil cloth table coverings and tea towels. They can give a quick and affordable facelift to any kitchen.”

For those who prefer a more classic look and just want to add one or two touches to their home to reflect this trend, opt for choice additions like glass ornaments shaped like pears.
