Mood Monthly: Scalloped Edges
Its time for Mood Monthly, and today we are doing a deep dive on the Scalloped Edges trend you are probably seeing everywhere in interiors If you haven’t noticed it yet, you will now! It’s a sweet and creative detail that has made its way into lots of decor items that are easy for anyone to pick up and add to a room (hello Target and Home Goods!) However, in interior design we are seeing it applied broadly to architectural detail, furniture profiles, and all over linens, pillows, window treatments of all kinds. Its these kind of details that really amp up a room to look designed, and not just decorated.
Raise your hand if you have seen a scalloped wood valance over a kitchen window hailing from the 50s like this one? They were prolific, and have been an often removed element in updating a kitchen. When we think of scalloped edges now, we are looking at a new profile, a fresh take. And while we are seeing a scallop return to window valances, we haven’t seen it return the way it was done in the 50s, and thank God for that!
The scallop we are seeing is a continuous half-circle instead of the sweetheart edge with curves and points like in the kitchen above. We think the sweet detail is *perfect* for rooms for littles and are especially seeing it pop up in nurseries and kids rooms. However, it is not limited to this cutesy feel and is being used in serious, adult applications like bathroom vanities, dining chairs, countertop edges, wardrobes, and more. We’ll prove it to you!
First, we wanted to show you scalloped edges in linens–bed linens, window coverings and valances. Its a soft look to add to already soft areas of the home.

Next we see the scalloped edges show up in furniture. Chairs, ottomans, sofas, tables, beds, you name it! We have seen it all over by now and are loving adding a touch of it to even a mature room to add a bit of whimsy.

And our final category is architectural detail. Building this profile into wood paneling, cabinets, shelving, and countertops is committment– so as long as you aren’t placing this feature all over a room, we think it has some staying power as a touch of quirk, interest, and whimsy!
