While some design trends can feel like a curveball, others seem so perennially popular that they feel like new classics. To me, the scalloped decor trend is the latter: while it's certainly had its moment in the spotlight this year, it feels like it's been around forever – and the brand new scalloped table linen collection from Bed Threads is further proof that this playful trend is here to stay.
I've adored Bed Threads' bedding for years, but when I spotted its signature flax linen pieces, I knew it would make the perfect addition to my table. It was the pink clay linen tablecloth that made me fall head over heels; it strikes the perfect balance between relaxed and sophisticated. I took one look at the new scalloped table linen collection and fell in love for the very same reason: these pieces are playful and yet utterly elegant, and I have a feeling that they'll fly off the virtual shelves – especially since they're all on sale right now.
There's a dazzling array of table linen on offer at Bed Threads, but the real joy is in the colorways. The new scalloped collection comprises napkins and placemats, both of which are available in up to five different shades with a contrasting trim. It's no surprise that the pink clay and turmeric scalloped napkins are my favorite, but I've got a soft spot for the sage and olive scalloped napkins, too.
When it comes to the placemats, I can't resist a simple white scalloped placemat set with a gray trim. For a bolder look, however, I'd go for the lavender and petrol blue scalloped set, which is also 20% off. It's the kind of unexpected color combination that I'm loving from Damson Madder's gifts for hosts.
We've seen this trend filter through the entire spectrum of interiors, but particularly love it in the kitchen and dining room. From the rustic scalloped decor at Magnolia to the curved kitchen decor in Joanna Gaines' Hearth and Hand collection, I can always make space for this whimsical, vintage-inspired trend, especially Bed Threads' new scalloped table linen collection, if I can restrain myself from buying it all while it's on sale.

An autumnal hero: scalloped green table linen. I'd style these placemats with a burnt orange tablecloth in the harvest season, before switching it out for pale pink or lavender come springtime.
While Tuckernuck Home's fall entertaining collection leans heavily into lavish maximalism, fans of more pared-back pieces can opt for these dainty scalloped napkins instead.
Available in new fewer than 11 different colorways, this table runner is the perfect way to dip your toe into the scallop trend without replacing all your dinnerware/
While not technically part of Bed Threads' latest drop, I think this petal-shaped placemat deserves a spot in any scalloped tableware hall of fame: it's such a cheerful nod to the trend.
I love the olive shade of this tablecloth; it's easily paired with crisp white napkins and gold flatware, but for a festive spin, it would look gorgeous with a few pops of red (like my favorite red velvet bow napkin rings from Crate and Barrel.)
The stone-washed finish of these napkins makes for a beautifully relaxed look – though the delicate trim ensures they're sophisticated enough for even your most elaborate dinner party.
The ideal companion to your scalloped table linen? Scalloped crockery, of course. Joanna Gaines' ruffled ramekins from Target are still some of my favorite kitchenware finds this year.
