10 Times Scalloped Tile Rocked a Room

Scalloped tile is a trend that has recently entered my Pinterest feed and I am so happy it DID! The shape is inherently unique and adds so much value to a design. When I see a scalloped tile or wallpaper, my mind goes to one of three very different and random things: dollhouse shingles, fish scales and Moroccan tile. Where the pattern really originated from, I don’t know. But I do know how much I love it in the following designs:

This bathroom was designed by one of my favorite designers, as well as the queen of BOHO, Justina Blakeney! She remodeled this bathroom for her parents’ home and was inspired by spa trips she would take with her mother and sister. She wanted the room to feel both earthy (warm/terra-cotta tones) and luxurious (jade/gold accents).
