Using Scallops in Design is on Trend

| |

Using scallops in design is on trend. I have to say I love it. For months, I’ve considered sharing this on Sunday Favorites with Mary Ann and Cindy. Then this week, I saw a custom banquette using a scallop in the design, and it stopped me in my tracks.

I love a banquette in a kitchen, dining room, or any living space. But a banquette incorporating a design element with scallop trim will always get my attention.

This custom banquette with scallop wood trim back and table was designed by Shannon Tate-Giordano.

A few things with scallops that I love!

Lamps, trays, shelves, baskets, pottery, bowls on pink graphic
  1. I love a scallop, and there are some really fun things on the market right now, like these wave shelves from west elm. Cute in a kid’s room or anywhere.
  2. This scallop rattan pendant from Serena & Lily looks 1970s. I would love this over my Saarinen table.
  3. This cute Larkspur Petite Table Lamp with a raffia shade is perfect for so many spaces. I could find a spot in almost every room in my house.
  4. A cute little set of pinch bowls from Terrain. It would make dinner prep so much fun!
  5. A rattan tray from Serena & Lily for a coffee table, dining table, and bookshelves on a night table or in a bathroom.
  6. A pretty wood serving board with a scalloped edge is perfect for some cheese and crackers.
  7. I adore Bergs scallop pots from Terrain. They come in three colors. I have several, and I use them indoors and out.
  8. Love these baskets too! Storage or for a Monstera plant, maybe?

Here are a few more favorites this week:

2. Black Rit Dye

We updated an old post using black Rit Dye on some old damask napkins and French tea towels. The results are quite fabulous! Especially if you like dark and earthy gray linens. Dyeing fabric is so easy; why do I avoid it? Read this post if you’ve been thinking about doing it!

3. Emily Henderson’s dark & dreamy pantry featured in Remodelista

Emily carved out a space for a pantry, and it’s gorgeous. You can see it right here.

  1. I have some old linen napkins that I never use — don’t we all! It never occurred to me to dye them, but I’m going to give it a try. Thanks!
    One thing to know about unglazed pots is that if you put them outside and you get a lot of wind, they will dry out much more quickly than glazed pots. They look great inside anyway — the scallops are so pretty.

  2. Loving the scallops! I will be keeping my eyes open for that feature.
    I am replacing the head chairs at my dining room table and would love to know where you found yours, if you would be able to share.
    Thank you!

      1. I’m sorry I wasn’t very descriptive regarding the chairs I liked! I was wondering about the two brown-stained, curved-back, woven-seat chairs in the photo with the scalloped banquette. Thank you again.

  3. Annie! I love scallops too and that banquette. I’m swooning. Loved your dye project when I saw it on Instagram … I’m eyeing some napkins with stains I can’t remove. I might have to get over my fear of dye and go for it! Happy week! xo
