Joanna Gaines brings one of 2025's biggest trends to kitchens and dining tables – and you can replicate the look for under $10

The curvaceous scallop trend has been steadily moving into the heart of the home, and nowhere does it feel more at ease than in the kitchen.

Curves in interior design are nothing new, but those gentle, undulating edges once reserved for lampshades and mirrors are now appearing on dinnerware, placemats, glassware, and serving pieces, bringing a nostalgic yet refined softness to the table

Even large-scale collaborations are embracing the look. Joanna Gaines’s Hearth & Hand with Magnolia collection at Target has introduced scallop-inspired designs, from ribbed glassware to gently curved accents, bringing this detail into everyday homes with ease.

It’s a reminder that scallops, though rooted in timeless design, feel as elevated at a designer dining table as they do woven into everyday family meals – a detail that makes them the defining interior design trend of the moment.

Scalloped dinner plates or bowls bring an instant touch of charm to the table, transforming even the simplest meal into something that feels celebratory. Part of their magic is in their versatility: in soft neutrals they slip effortlessly into pared-back, minimalist décor, while in bolder tones or on a larger scale they create a striking statement that feels both cheerful and inviting.

‘Scallops are one of the easiest ways to add character to a space, and they’re especially effective in softening the look of a kitchen,’ says Hebe Hatton, Head of Interiors at Homes & Gardens. ‘In my view, scalloped edges bring instant charm and elegance to the kitchen and dining room, turning even the most practical pieces into style statements.’

In a modern kitchen, scallops lend softness to the hard lines of cabinets, counters, and shelving; at the table, they strike a balance between ease and occasion, elevating a casual meal as easily as they complement a more formal gathering.

Far from a passing fad, scallops carry the sense of a rediscovered classic – timeless, playful, and refined. Whether appearing on dinnerware, traced along the edge of a placemat, or styled as a decorative accent, these gentle curves add warmth, movement, and personality, reminding us that the kitchen can be as beautifully dressed as it is functional.
