Embracing the Crafted Scallops Trend

Have you ever walked into a store and stumbled upon something so enchanting that it seems to follow you everywhere afterward?

That's precisely what happened to me after a visit to Maison Midi in Los Angeles, a treasure trove of exquisite homeware nestled within American Rag et CIE. Among the array of classic, vintage, and one-of-a-kind pieces, I found myself captivated by the subtle elegance of scalloped edges adorning various ceramics. Little did I know, this encounter would mark the beginning of my fascination with the crafted scallops trend.

Scallops, with their delicate curves and organic shape, seem to inject a touch of whimsy and charm into any setting. What started with a few ceramic pieces soon blossomed into a full-fledged trend that transcends mere home decor and extends its influence into the realm of fashion.

I designed this trend board to showcase the versatility and allure of scalloped design elements. In the dining room, a bright orange runner adorned with scalloped edges adds a pop of color and playful elegance to the table setting. Moving into the living room, scalloped-edge tables create visual interest and serve as conversation starters in their own right. Even in the kitchen, scalloped napkins and dinnerware infuse a sense of joy and sophistication into everyday meals.

What sets scallops apart is their ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. By replacing straight lines with graceful curves, scalloped edges lend a sense of softness and fluidity to any space or outfit. Whether adorning a ceramic bowl or gracing a pair of sandals, scallops exude a sense of understated elegance that is both timeless and contemporary.


As I reflect on my journey from Maison Midi to the broader world of crafted scallops, I'm reminded of the power of design to inspire and captivate. In a world filled with straight lines and sharp angles, embracing the gentle curves of scalloped edges adds a touch of whimsy and warmth to our lives.
