Preppy yet playful, scalloped edges and patterns are trending just in time for the warm weather season. Though this classic motif reached peak popularity during the 1920s art deco movement, they presently provide designers with a hint of geometric drama that still reads traditional. And thanks to their repetitive curves, scallops can also create a sense of rhythm and movement in a space in lieu of trendy waves and squiggles.
In the market for a scalloped piece to pep up a tired decor scheme? From upholstery trims to table lamps, consider one of these undulating of-the-moment finds.
