Dunelm’s new scalloped wooden borders
The scalloped home furnishing trend has set the tone for this year. Every brand high and low has been including scalloped homewares in the collections, whether it’s Matalan’s viral scalloped range or Habitat’s much-loved scalloped tray.

‘Scalloped edges introduce elegance and a touch of romance, enriching contemporary spaces with curated opulence,’ says Alex Stubbs, interior stylist at Flitch. ‘Their appeal lies in the quest for individuality and self-expression in design, offering a harmonious flow that breaks away from rigid, angular forms.’
Scallops also offer a softer finish to the overall room. ‘Circular contours can soften a room’s overall appearance. It brings natural femininity to a space. It can evoke a sense of relaxation and comfort,’ says Lucy Mather, interior design expert at Arighi Bianchi.

Dunelm’s thin scalloped borders made of wood are perfect for bringing a touch of this feel into your home. Available in two sizes, the trims come with self-adhesive strips so you can easily stick them onto any surface you like without the need of wood glue. However, if you want to be safe, then adding a bit of glue like Gorilla wood glue available at Amazon won’t hurt.

The brand also encourages you to get creative with the trims – to cut them to your desired measurements and paint them to match or contrast your furniture (or leave them au naturel).
The sky’s the limit here!
