What is scalloped decor?
In interiors, scallops is a trend that involves adding a curved, repeating arc pattern to furniture and home accessories to create a soft and almost whimsical look. It's also often used on accent walls to add dimension and colour to a room.
'Scalloped details inspired by vintage fabrics have made a comeback across homewares. It’s a great, unexpected way to inject colour and soften the edges of typically straight-edged items like rugs, cushions and lampshades. Layer up in spaces full of prints and patterns to achieve a modern, fresh vintage, eclectic style,' says Andrew Tanner, head of design at Habitat.
From cheery vases to vintage-inspired cushions, here are 15 pieces to bring the scalloped trend into your home this spring.

We're big fans of the contrasting colourways here: a bright mustard centre is framed by a salmon pink scalloped edge for a fabulously quirky look. It's also available in green if you fancy layering up for extra texture.

You don't have to paint scallops onto feature walls to achieve a brighter, bolder look for spring. For the less DIY-savvy among us, adding a few scalloped cushions, like this bold M&S number, will give the same effect.
