Best black fruitbowl
Dehaus handmade bamboo fruit bowl
Keep it simple with a chic black fruit bowl like this one from Dehaus, available at Amazon. The pleasingly rounded shape and black satin finish give it a minimalist, modern feel that would be a great fit for a contemporary scheme - and it's also available in grey, white and on-trend sage green.
Made from hardy, lightweight and eco-friendly bamboo, this is a bowl which is simple to clean - just wipe with a damp cloth - and should stand the test of time for years to come. With a diameter of 30cm, it could easily double as a salad bowl, bread basket, or a popcorn bowl on movie nights.
Best ceramic fruit bowl
Habitat Evora Stoneware Serving Bowl
Looking for accessories to cultivate a simple, down-to-earth Scandi or boho scheme inspired by natural materials? Look no further than this glazed stoneware bowl from Habitat. The muted grey-blue finish is created using a reactive glaze, meaning no two bowls are exactly alike. The ideal size for a fruit bowl at 30cm across, we think it would also make an impressive dish to serve up pasta for two - it's microwave and dishwasher-safe, too.
Best wooden fruit bowl
ByAmberAndRose handmade wooden fruit bowl
Wooden fruit bowls are a traditional favourite - hard-wearing and easy to keep clean, they can serve you well for years. We all know that Etsy is an absolute treasure trove for all things handmade, and fruit bowls are no exception. There are dozens of delightful examples to browse, but we're fans of this ribbed design mango wood fruit bowl from makers ByAmberAndRose, hand-carved in India using traditional techniques. To keep in top condition, clean with a damp cloth and give an occasional polish with nut oil.
Best glass fruit bowl
Alize white glass salad bowl
This stylish serving bowl from Oliver Bonas is made from white tone glass with a shiny marbled finish, with a gold rim acting as a luxe finishing touch.
With a diameter of 14.5cm, this is a relatively small bowl, so perhaps not the best choice for a large household. We think it's ideal for a home office, just the right size for holding a few bananas or apples for a quick snack while working.
Best gold fruit bowl
Gold finish wide fruit basket
Add a touch of Art Deco elegance to your home with this geometric design fruit bowl from La Redoute. The durable iron wire frame is gold-plated for a glamorous metallic finish.
Best metal fruit bowl
Marden hammer round bowl
If you prefer a more rustic metal finish, this hammered aluminium fruit bowl could be the right choice for you. The slight irregularities in the shape and pattern lend a handmade feel which would be right at home in a global decor scheme.
Plus, the 32cm diameter means its large enough fruit for the whole family.
Best tiered fruit bowl
mossFlos 3-tier fruit bowl
We've all seen two-tier fruit bowls, but why not consider three tiers? This decorative gold fruit bowl consists of three wire baskets linked by a swooping spiral stand.
It not only makes for an eye-catching statement accessory, but is also useful for keeping apart fruits that shouldn't be stored next to each other - for instance, apples and bananas can cause some other fruits to ripen too quickly and spoil. Plus, it's perfect for holding seasonal touches like pinecones throughout the year!
