When you peek back at real estate photos of the '90s and '00s, you may notice a curious trend: fake fruit. Everywhere. While lemons were the most common pseudo-fruit offender, sneaky homeowners could be found filling bowls with pears, grapes, and bananas—and don't you dare take a bite. These overflowing bowls paired perfectly with the Tuscan fad that swept across America's suburbs, but dreams of the lush Italian countryside aren't the only reason this faux decor caught fire.
Fake fruit had its heyday in the height of the mid-aughts, back when picture-perfect McMansions were the most desirable thing.
"Homeowners sought after that 'perfect home' look, and they wanted it 24/7, not just when the fruit was ripe and the plants were green," says Leigh Spicher, the National Director of Design Studios for home builder Ashton Woods.
