15 Ways To Show Tomato Girl Is Over And “Jam Girl Summer” Is Here to Sweeten Your Aesthetic
Move over, tomato girl summer! A sweeter, jammier aesthetic is taking over our homes and hearts. Jam Girl Summer brings the delicious vibes of homemade preserves, berry-rich colors, and fruit-inspired décor that feels both nostalgic and fresh.
Ready to transform your space from savory red to sweet berry bliss? Let’s explore how to embrace this delightful new trend!
1. From Red to Jammy Pinks and Purples
Saying goodbye to bold tomato reds means welcoming the luscious spectrum of berry hues!
Swap those fiery scarlet accessories for strawberry pinks, blackberry purples, and blueberry indigos. A mix of these sweet shades creates depth while maintaining the cozy vibe that made tomato girl popular in the first place.
2. Glossy Fruit-Inspired Ceramics
Nothing says jam-girl quite like shimmering, glossy ceramics that mimic the surface of your favorite preserves.
Look for bowls and plates with that perfect high-shine finish in raspberry, blackberry, and plum tones. Mix and match different berry shades for a table setting that looks good enough to eat.
3. Sweet Berry Artwork Over Rustic Veggies
Replace those tomato and vegetable illustrations with framed strawberry, raspberry, and currant art. Grouping several berry prints together creates a sweet gallery wall that celebrates the star ingredients of your favorite jams.
Vintage botanical prints featuring plump berries bring instant jam-girl charm to any wall.
4. Velvet Cushions in Raspberry and Blackberry
Swapping out tomato-red throw pillows for deep raspberry, blackberry, and mulberry velvet cushions instantly sweetens your space. The sumptuous fabric catches light beautifully, creating the same jewel-like gleam you’d see in a jar of fresh jam.
5. Canning Jars as Decorative Elements
Fill clear glass jars with fairy lights for a magical glow, use them as flower vases, or arrange colored glass versions on open shelving. The vintage canning aesthetic connects directly to jam-making traditions while adding charming nostalgic touches.
6. Warm, Cozy Sunset-Toned Lighting
Harsh white bulbs create a sterile feel, while warm amber lighting mimics the color of simmering preserves. String lights, amber glass lamps, and candles all contribute to a cozy atmosphere that feels like grandma’s jam-making kitchen.
7. Plush Throws in Mixed Berry Shades
Layer sofas and beds with chunky knit or soft fleece throws in mixed berry hues. Varying textures – from fuzzy chenille to smooth cotton – mimic the different consistencies found in homemade jams, from smooth to chunky preserves.
8. Kitchen Linens in Jam Pastels
Grandma’s jam-making traditions meet modern style with pretty pastel kitchen textiles!
Gingham tea towels, floral-patterned oven mitts, and berry-embroidered aprons bring jam girl vibes to your kitchen. Soft pinks, lavenders, and buttery yellows create that perfect preserved-fruit palette while keeping things practical for actual cooking.
9. Berry-Patterned Wallpaper
Berry-patterned wallpaper transforms ordinary spaces into jam-making wonderlands. Whether you choose subtle blueberry prints for a powder room or a dramatic raspberry pattern for a dining area, fruit-forward walls instantly announce your jam girl commitment.
Make a bold jam-girl statement with walls that celebrate summer’s sweetest fruits!
10. Fresh or Faux Berry Arrangements
Why limit berries to your kitchen when they make gorgeous decorative elements?
Arrange bowls of fresh berries as edible centerpieces during summer, then switch to high-quality faux versions year-round. Blackberries, strawberries, and blueberries grouped in vintage bowls create that perfect jam-girl focal point while celebrating nature’s candy.
11. Jam Jar Pendant Lights and Lamps
Lighting fixtures inspired by preserving jars add authentic jam girl charm to any room.
Pendant lights made from actual canning jars or lamps with bases resembling vintage preserve containers add nostalgic charm. Colored glass versions in berry tones cast a magical glow that transforms ordinary spaces into jam-making cottages.
12. Soft Wood with Blush Finishes
Wooden pieces with subtle blush or berry-toned finishes mimic fruit-stained cutting boards. Tables, shelves, and stools with these warm tones bring an organic element that balances the sweetness of your jam girl aesthetic.
13. Delicate Fruit-Motif Tableware
Replace plain white plates with delicate ceramic pieces featuring hand-painted strawberries, blueberries, or currants. Vintage-inspired jam jars repurposed as drinking glasses complete the look while adding charming functionality to your table.
14. Layered Rugs in Warm Pink and Purple
Layering rugs in different berry hues creates depth while keeping things cozy underfoot. Mix textures too – perhaps a flat-weave strawberry pink beneath a plush raspberry shag – for a floor covering that feels as rich as homemade jam.
15. Fruit-Scented Candles for Ambiance
Complete your jam girl transformation with candles that smell like summer’s sweetest harvest!
Scents like strawberry, blackberry, and mixed berry bring the essence of jam-making into your space. Choose candles in colored glass containers that complement your berry color palette for decor that pleases all the senses.
