With 2021 shaping up to be an unpredictable year, we didn't know quite what to expect when it came to interiors. Would people start heading back to their offices, meaning the home workspace wouldn't be needed anymore? Are there big purchases we made during the pandemic that we'd regret a year later?

There's one trend that's held on, though. Earlier this year, Etsy predicted that mushroom motifs would be a huge part of decor this year. We'd been noticing the look popping up in more homes, and it turns out there's still plenty of inspo out there.

Here are some of our recent faves for creating your own mushroom decor vibe — whether you want a statement piece, or a subtle addition to your space.
