Design trends are constantly changing, but sometimes a style reemerges at precisely the time when it feels new and fresh—no matter how long it's been around. Scalloped design is having just that sort of moment. Scalloped borders in interior design can be found as far back as the Renaissance, and they were often used in Art Deco interiors in the early 20th century, and again during the preppy 1980s.
Scallops are back again in a big way now, adding a whimsical touch to interiors everywhere from headboards to placemats. Where minimalism and clean lines were the must-haves of the 2010s, the 2020s bring a renewed desire for softness and charm. You can see it in trends like grandma chic, maximalism, and paint color palettes like pink and beige (as opposed to gray and white).

The wood's solidity offsets the scallop's sweetness, adding softness to an otherwise sturdy design element. Scalloped lines used on throw pillows or bedspreads tend to add a delicate feel, but with the right colors (navy blue or red, for example), they become more cozy.
