Easy, Budget Friendly Update: Add Scallops!

Beautiful Scallop designs are everywhere in home decor. Layla Grace

 Spending some time in Alexandria with family members prompted a home tour and a request for help from the Decor You Adore experts. Just like everyone I know, my Mother-in-law's sister is looking for an update without breaking the bank. After thinking about it for a while it came to me....

A simple, inexpensive way to get an fresh new look is to add one or two items representing a current trend. Since scallops are trending right now, why not add a beautiful mirror like the one pictured above?

 I love this stenciled office wall. It would be beautiful in tone on tone satin and flat wall paint.

Hobby Lobby Cobalt Knob $3.99 each

Hobby Lobby has a wonderful selection of knobs and drawer pulls. I adore these cobalt blue scalloped knobs. A simple, inexpensive update would be to add them to your bathroom vanity and then add a new coordinating shower curtain.

If you like to sew, check out the Destination Craft Blog for tips on how to create these cute panels.

If you aren't quite ready for a commitment like ceramic tile, simply add a couple of throw pillows like these from an Etsy shop.

We'd love to see how you've used scallops in your home decor. Post in our comments section!
