If your fridge isn’t full of greens, make up for it with displays of glass fruit in a ceramic cabbage bowl or set the table with taper candles suspended inside red glazed pomegranates.

Homeware in the form of faux fruit and vegetables is everywhere at the moment and we’re here for it.

Somehow, any decorative style – from classic English cottage to modernist apartment — looks complete with a radicchio leaf plate here or a bowl of trompe l’oeil pears there.

If you’re looking for the most stylish ways to get your greens (and pinks, and yellows), our five-a-day picks will freshen up your kitchen shelves and as a bonus, you don’t need to remember to eat them before they go off...
