Ever wonder how to celebrate your love of bananas at home?
Here’s a bananas home decor style guide.
So bananas home decor may not be something you’ve thought about. But I did, and here’s what I found.
My family eats a lot of bananas.
I buy bananas at least twice every week to make sure we get our daily fix of the delicious fruit. All told, we consume about 8 every day. According to the USDA, Americans are averaging about 13.5 pounds each year. That’s about 40 bananas. Oh, we pass that average by mid-January. So we are definitely doing our part to support keeping bananas at the top of the world’s most popular fruit list.
Our banana loving family inspired me to read the Banana: The Fate of the Fruit That Changed the World by Dan Koeppel. I did not know that there are so many kinds and colors of bananas around the world, and that the ones we devour can’t reproduce without help. They are bred to not have seeds. Fascinating.
Bananas home decor
And then, I started thinking about banana chairs, tables, and home decor. If we love bananas so much, I was betting there are people celebrating the banana at home.
Oh, they are celebrating the fruit. And among the interesting finds available, these are my favorite bananas home decor.
The banana pool table is designed and sold by Cléon Daniel. He offers a mini version, and bespoke options are available, too.
Flowers can enjoy the banana, too, as a banana bud vase from Jonathan Adler. Offered in gold and white, the white porcelain banana sculpture easily blends with most decor. The gold version is definitely a stand-out home decor item.
For those who want some banana nightlife, there’s a neon banana sign ready to light up a wall in your home. If you are into other types of fruit, or plan a fruit-themed cocktail lounge in your home, there’s also a cherry neon sign and a peach neon sign available.
A cat inside a banana bed is a treat. This is sold on Amazon, with four sizes available.
While there are many banana pillows and bean bag chairs filling up Google images, there is also an elevated version. Here’s a bean bag banana chair that’s under $100 and an ecoleather banana chair.
So what do you wear while sitting in your banana chair next to your kitten in the banana bed, using the banana light to see the banana pool table? Here are the perfect shoes. I would love to try these on. No, seriously.
If you are resisting your banana cravings to purchase the above-items, you can just eat the fruit. And use the peel as a natural shoe polish before tossing it in your compost bin.
