Since the summer is rapidly approaching, I'm keen on finding home decor that can freshen up my space and prepare me for the best season of the year. Of course, there are certain design elements that make a home feel more 'summer-oriented' — two of which are scallop trim and jute fabric. So when I saw this rug from Walmart that combined those two quintessentially summer details, I knew I had hit the jackpot.
From the subtle weave of the jute fabric to the white rectangular borders and undulating perimeter, this rug just oozes summertime style — and is somewhat reminiscent of the well-loved coastal grandmother trend. Now, you might think scallop edge is kind of a controversial and overly beach-themed trimming. And trust me, I hear you. "Scallops, once regarded as the pinnacle of playful decor, are earning a bad wrap — drawing comparisons to chevron and other hyper-millennial design sensibilities," Livingetc's Style Editor Julia Demer tells me. Scallop trim certainly isn't the most sought-after interior design trend at the moment.
