Why are scallops trending in design?
Scalloped detail refers to designs that replicate the naturally wavy shape of the edge of a scallop shell. From table linen and crockery to statement mirrors, the versatile style is used by interior designers to add dimension and texture to an overall aesthetic.
A nod to the coastal decor interior design trend that reigns supreme over summer, scalloped detailing adds a charming touch to your home accessories while still maintaining a timeless feel – because nobody wants to invest in a homeware trend that won’t still feel relevant next year!
