Why Lemon-Themed Décor is Trending
Lemon-inspired design brings warmth and charm to any kitchen. Whether you prefer a farmhouse aesthetic or a modern twist, citrus elements can seamlessly blend into different styles. With lemon kitchen accessories, wall art, and textiles, you can create a refreshing environment that feels lively and welcoming. I simply love yellow & lemons right now! I hope that my apparent love for lemon decor inspires you in some way for this warm season that is finally upon us!
7 Ways to Infuse Lemon Décor into Your Kitchen
1. Lemon-Print Textiles
Start with lemon-themed, or yellow, table runners, dish towels, and placemats. These simple additions instantly brighten up your kitchen and complement existing décor. If you want to add some solid or print that doesn’t have lemon on it, simply opt for some solid hand towels or linen napkins to even out the decor. I chose yellow color kitchen towels form Williams-Sonoma to add to my kitchen lemon theme. Williams-Sonoma doesn’t sponsor this page. I simply love their variations of kitchen dish towels and buy them over and over.
2. Citrus-Inspired Wall Art
Looking to make a statement? Hang framed lemon illustrations, rustic wood signs with citrus quotes, or watercolor prints to add character to your space. I found this cute framed lemon canvas at At Home. Rather than hanging, I chose to lean it against the backsplash in the kitchen. It adds a little touch of the yellow and lemon to my summer theme.
3. Fresh Lemons as Décor
Place fresh lemons in a decorative bowl or a glass vase on your countertop. This natural touch adds vibrancy while keeping lemons handy for cooking or drinks. Alternatively, you can purchase faux lemons that do not ruin and keep their vibrant color all season long. Plus, you can store them and use them next summer. I found packages of lemons to add to my decor on Amazon. Click on this link if you are interested in adding lemons to your kitchen decor. #ad
Throughout this blog you will see how I added faux lemons. Below is one example where I chose a simple glass hurricane, added faux lemons along with some silk flowers for my kitchen summer theme.
4. Lemon-Patterned Dinnerware
Upgrade your dishware with lemon-themed plates, mugs, or serving trays for an elegant yet playful look. This simple swap creates a cohesive citrus aesthetic in your kitchen. I have to share this adorable glass lemonade pitcher that I found at a local boutique store. I added some of the faux lemons and sat the pitcher on my counter top for an adorable lemon theme addition to my decor. If you like this, you can also find it on amazon for those of you who do not live in Hazard, KY. Click here if you want to buy this pitcher from Amazon. #affiliate ad
5. Lemon-Scented Candles & Hand Soap
A fresh scent enhances a home’s atmosphere. Opt for lemon candles or citrus-scented hand soap to maintain an uplifting ambiance in your kitchen. I cannot tell you how much I love Candleberry candles. I buy them by the dozen. When they burn, they permeate throughout the house. Here is one that you can add to your lemon theme kitchen that is sure to make your summer happy.

6. Greenery & Yellow Accents
Pair lemon décor with fresh greenery like potted herbs or faux lemon trees for a natural feel. Yellow bowls, utensil holders, or stand mixers can complement the citrus theme beautifully. In the images below you will see how I utilized some greenery and lemon accents. I filled my dough bowl with lemon garland and added some lemon picks that I found at Hobby Lobby. I also found a faux lemon tree at At Home. It was already potted in a white pot, but I found an empty lemon decorated pot, also from At Home, that I was able to sit the faux tree into. It looks so cute sitting on my kitchen counter.
7. DIY Lemon Garland or Wreath
Create a lemon garland or wreath using faux lemons and greenery. Hang it on windows, doors, or mantels to elevate your kitchen’s décor year-round.
