I've often seen the scalloped trend as a little playful, perhaps childish, and not really something I was on board with – until designers convinced me otherwise.

Bringing softness and shape to any space, scallops are having a moment right now. From scalloped-edged rugs to mirrors and stylish scalloped side tables, this interior design trend takes its inspiration from vintage fabrics and is now making waves in 2025.

A perfect way to introduce some spring decor ideas to your space, this coastal-meets-cottage silhouette helps introduce movement, personality, and intrigue to your decor that a boring straight line simply cannot.

If you're tempted to try the scalloped trend but aren't sure where to begin, I've rounded up the best scalloped home decor finds to help you bring this trend to life in the most stylish, Homes & Gardens way possible.

The great thing about this decor and furniture trend is that it doesn't need a whole lot of commitment; you can be as subtle or statement-making as you want. A sweet lampshade or a side table can add a touch of romance to your bedside, while scalloped tableware brings a sense of whimsy to the dinner table. Personally, I love a scalloped tray on my coffee table to add some on-trend kudos to my living room (and help corral all my matches and candles).

Here are my top 12 finds to shop now that have a designer-approved touch without a luxury price tag.


If you’ve been on the fence about scalloped decor, consider this your sign to give it a try. Whether you start small or go all in, these wavy pieces are sure to add some fun to your interiors, and what better time to do so than with this playful spring decor trend.
