Sakura Home Products: Cherry Blossom Decor and Homeware

While Sakura season only lasts a few months each springtime, that doesn't mean you can't enjoy beautiful Sakura flowers year-round with Sakura home products. Often, these products include a Sakura flower pattern, colors inspired by the blossoms, or a combination of the two. There are even more abstract Sakura designs for home goods that you'll want to use every day.

Because of this variation in designs, it's easy to find home decor and home goods to incorporate into your daily routine. Below, we explore some top Sakure home products you can add to your kitchen, family room, bedroom, home office, etc.

The Aesthetic Appeal of Sakura in Home Decor

The visual and emotional impact of Sakura motifs

Sakura blossoms hold multiple meanings, a major reason Japanese people particularly connect with this season. The blossoms only bloom for a few weeks, demonstrating, among other things, renewal and the shortness of life. Sakura home decor can represent beauty, death, renewal, or simply an appreciation for life. Seeing a Sakura design can be a reminder to embrace what life offers for you and guests visiting your home.

Seasonal transformation and the refreshing vibe of Sakura decor

Adding Sakura home decor to your living space can brighten the room, welcome warmer weather, and take boring spaces and make them unique. With their pink and white flowers, cherry blossoms provide a beautiful natural aesthetic and pop of color to any room. Since there are many types of Sakura decor, you can change your space to be cute, minimal, elegant, etc., all by adding Sakura-themed items.

Sakura-Inspired Homeware Trends

Currently, those wanting to incorporate Sakura homeware into their lives either keep their items minimalistic or add a few boldly designed items. For example, many are incorporating a Sakura theme into their homes by including light pink furniture, cups, and clothing.

Others who want a more daring design will include items with darker or brighter colors. This decor may include items like a dark blue dresser with pink cherry blossom flowers or vivid throw pillows.

Starbucks Japan Sakura Collection

Past Starbucks Sakura collections have ranged in themes and designs, from mosaic tiles in 2014 to dreamy floral designs in 2023. For Starbucks Japan's 2024 Sakura Collection, the theme is "Cheers to Sakura," as a reference to hanami (cherry blossom watching) activities.

This year's hanami celebration means you can expect fun, sparkly designs, bright pink flowers, unique designs (like the embossed mug mentioned below), and other Sakura-themed items. Each year, a few new products are added, like the heat-resistant glass mug which appeared in 2024.

Where to Find Sakura Homeware and Starbucks Japan Products

Cherry blossom season is one time you don't want to wait around for products to go on sale, as items sell out quickly. Each year, a limited amount of items are made that include a Sakura theme, colors, design, etc. This is the only time you'll find limited edition Sakura product collabs during the year. So, spring is the time to stock up on any Sakura home goods or Sakura Starbucks items.

Tips on purchasing authentic Sakura-themed items, including online sources and stores in Japan.

1. Only buy from well-known, reputable companies.

   One way to ensure you get authentic Sakura items is to purchase from reputable brands/companies. Ensure you're shopping from the authentic Starbucks stores in person or the real website. Avoid using third-party websites, as you can never be sure if the products are authentic.

    

2. Check out Japanese markets for authentic items.

   Typically, reputable Japanese markets will have authentic Japanese home goods and products. Check your local market for Sakura-themed items, as you'll likely find at least a few items.

    

3. Read website reviews.

   Another great way to find authentic Sakura products is by reading the reviews from previous customers. While this is not a fool-proof method, it can help weed out lower-quality, inauthentic items. Consider only adding products to your account that have over four stars.

Sugoi Mart Sakura Collection

If you don't live near a Starbucks Japan shop or a local Japanese market, you can still find excellent Sakura products online. You'll find many items at Sugoi Mart, which specializes in authentic Japanese products ranging from toys to homeware and more.

Sugoi Mart has a large cherry blossom collection to shop, which includes Sakura jelly desserts, Sakura drink mixes, items from the Starbucks Japan Sakura collection, and more. Head to Sugoi Mart for exciting Sakura products before they're gone!
