2022 Art Trend: Mushrooms

Mushroom art is sprouting up everywhere. Thanks to their eccentric nature, peculiar appearance, and psychedelic energy, they are a great way to bring a touch of imaginative amusement to your space. To help you dig into the Mushrooms trend, we put together a curation full of botanical and adventurous vibes.

Giving off funky feelings since the 1970s, mushrooms are making a comeback in design, largely due to the desire to step into a fantasy world. New York designer Harry Heissmann claims the trend is “a little Alice in Wonderland”, comparing the nostalgic and whimsical elements that people are intrigued by and want to explore – and let’s face it, we could all use a magical escape these days. So, if you’re looking for that temporary jump from reality, and want to bring that playful, colorful, and sometimes vintage aesthetic into your home, doing it through art is a wonderfully expressive choice. 

Whether you’re into a groovy theme or if you prefer to be mesmerized by surreal scenes, our featured art showcases the fungus among us in a variety of eye-catching ways. From ballerinas in toadstool tutus to happy turtles on glowing adventures to trippy, prismatic rainbow landscapes, this collection gives off a range of positive emotions and fascinating curiosity. 

No matter what type of fungi you prefer, our curation displays many interesting angles on the Mushrooms 2022 Art Trend. From weird and fun to organic and compelling, keep scrolling to find a print that fulfills your nature daydreams.
