Scallop Wallpaper

Scallop Wallpaper

Few patterns have endured quite like the scallop. From its roots in Art Deco glamour to its place in today's most considered interiors, this elegant repeating curve — inspired by the natural fan of a shell — has a timeless quality that trends simply can't touch.

Whether you're drawn to bold, graphic repeats or something softer and more botanical, our edit of scallop wallpapers spans a range of styles, colourways and finishes to suit every room. It works beautifully as an all-over pattern, but is equally at home on a single feature wall where the rhythm of the design can really be appreciated.

Understated or statement, the scallop delivers both, effortlessly.

Good to know

How many rolls do I need?

Use the wallpaper calculator, or "How many rolls do I need?" on any product page, which allows for the pattern repeat. Order all your rolls together so they come from the same batch.

Can I order a sample?

Yes. Most papers have a sample, usually A4, and up to 6 samples are delivered free. A sample is the best way to check colour and texture in your own room.

Why does the batch number matter?

Rolls from different production batches can vary slightly in shade. Rolls ordered together always come from one batch; if you're topping up an earlier order, add its batch number on the product page and we'll match it.

Can I return wallpaper?

Most unused rolls can be returned: tell us within 14 days of delivery and send them back within 30. Some brands charge a 25% restocking fee on returns made after 14 days. Papers that are printed or made to order, and murals, can't be returned. Each product page tells you which applies.

How long will delivery take?

Every product page shows its own delivery time and an estimated arrival date. Delivery is free on UK mainland orders over £90; Northern Ireland, the Highlands and islands are charged at checkout.

Do you offer trade accounts?

Yes, for interior designers, decorators and commercial projects. Find out about trade accounts.

Scallop Wallpaper

The scallop is the repeating curve of a shell's fan, laid in overlapping arcs. It is one of the most enduring patterns there is, with roots in Art Deco glamour, and it brings a soft geometric repeat with a gently retro feel. It is charming in a nursery, a bathroom or a cloakroom.

Scallop runs from tiny to graphic. Thibaut offer more than anyone, with Bijou in Dynasty, a scalloped lattice worked so tightly it reads as texture, and Emily in Kismet, where flower buds bloom along a scalloped motif. GP & J Baker's House Small Prints II includes Penny, sprigs nestled in a scalloped trellis from an archive curtain document, while their Ashmore collection has Mount Temple Small, a delicate Art Deco scallop.

For a fresher, more playful take, Scion's Pomona has Scallop Frill, stylised scallops at a sweet scale with a hand-drawn finish, and Galerie's Just Kitchens overlaps halved lemons into a bright scalloped repeat. 1838 Wallcoverings' V&A Decorative Papers II includes Calico Shell, a finely drawn shell motif.

Scallop pairs naturally with Art Deco wallpaper and retro wallpaper, and its smaller versions sit with small prints. For more ideas, read our Decorating Notes piece From Botticelli to the Bathroom: Scallop Wallpaper.
