Trend alert…The scalloped edge…
It’s classic, pretty and a little bit whimsical. The scalloped edge. Instantly when I think of scalloped edge, I think of the bulletin board edging teachers always used in elementary school. I haven’t been in an elementary school in a while, but I bet it’s still used a lot today. It does have a childlike quality and has always been used in children’s rooms.
However, thanks to the Grandmillenial trend in interiors, the scalloped edge is being sprinkled throughout the home, not just children’s rooms. What’s Grandmillenial you say? Well, think of pastels, florals, and antiques with a modern twist. It’s basically granny chic and I’m into it. We’re seeing a surge in curated spaces in homes using antiques and appreciation for hand-me-downs this past year. Since there’s been such a lag in supply chain issues especially in the furniture industry for the past couple of years, there’s been a trend in people finding the beauty and character in older items that can be reused. We’re seeing this so much in the industry that new items are being created to look old. This new to look old idea isn’t new of course, we’re seeing it take a different direction. Traditional, classic styles mixed together with great attention to details and stories that belong with them.
Not into it? Don’t knock it until you try it. Browse Facebook Marketplace, antique shops, and thrift stores. Your next treasure awaits, I promise. It’s the thrill of the hunt, but you also have something unique in your home that you cannot find at a Home Goods store.
As the Grandmillenial style of interiors evolves, the scalloped edge is having a moment. Here is a source guide for the trendy, yet classic scalloped edge.
