Classic curves: 9 ways to decorate with fan-shaped edges

In BOH's new series On Trend, we invite designers to share their favorite current discoveries.

Elegant and vibrant scalloped edges and patterns are becoming popular for a while, and it's not hard to see why. A bit wavy, much like an arch, the fan-shaped pattern reached its peak in the Art Deco movement in the 1920s, and now provides designers with some geometric dramas that still have traditional meaning. "Scallops are timeless classics," said designer Grey Walker. "Scallops can be oversized for theatrical, but smaller for the academic, playful appearance. The repetitive curves create movement [and] flirt with the parts they anchor."

Out of curiosity, we asked Walker and two other designers-Philip Mitchell and Jessica Lagrange-to tell us their three favorite fan decoration discoveries and how to integrate them into one. In space.
