We may be well into a cozier and crisper season, but some fruit motifs are timeless and transitional; we are, of course, talking about the lemon, which works just as well as a summer tablecloth print as it does a more permanent pattern in the home.
Need further proof? We are coveting Martha Stewart's lemon curtain set from Wayfair, which couples the charm of a cafe silhouette with the vibrancy of a bold yellow citrus decal. The best part? They are currently discounted to under $20. We're inclined to say that the Martha Stewart Summer has officially carried over into fall.
The tiered curtains filter light beautifully, while the blue geometric pattern on the hem gives the set an overall Cottagecore-inspired look.
I love how this 3-piece window set instantly brightens any space with a fresh, cheerful touch. The lemon motifs on the light-filtering tiers and matching valance feel playful without overwhelming, and I love how sunlight gently streams through the fabric. The subtle blue geometric hem adds just the right modern detail to keep the look current.
Decorating with lemons in particular is a fantastic way to bring sunny yellow into your kitchen, whether you are working with a modern, minimalist space or a bold, bright area. We love how the zesty yellow pairs with the royal blue on the curtains, and the cream foundation makes them incredibly versatile with existing kitchen color palettes.
Below, we have rounded up some of our favorite lemon-centric kitchen accessories (including another Martha buy with these lovely oven mitts) for the enthusiasts and those who are simply curious. Happy shopping!
