You don’t have to walk into a furniture shop to notice that curved furniture design is the latest furniture trend to hit the market. Today we’re exploring the reasons for this latest trend and the Do’s and Don’ts of incorporating curves into your space.

Gone are the days of boring, straight lines and sterile aesthetics of extreme minimalist homes. Curved style furniture brings a touch of elegance and sophistication to any room.

Curved furniture and curved design trends are in one way or another directly related to the natural shapes we see in nature. When we see furniture that reflects the organic shapes found in nature, it can help us to feel a sense of calm and balance.

If you’re thinking about updating your home decor with this trend, consider adding a few pieces of furniture with curves to your mix.

If you read our previous post on Biophilic Interior Design, then you know that in the past year, the growing trend and need to have spaces filled with soft curves, natural materials, and inviting shapes has become more important than ever.

While trends come and go, the trends in interior design proving to have the most staying power are the ones that are based on the way humans interact with their environment.

Creating a visually interesting corner in your home using home furnishings and accessories coupled with a trend that is based on how we experience those spaces is key. And what could be more natural than furniture that reflects the organic shapes found in nature?

One reason is that we as humans have an innate need to connect with nature. The soft edges and organic lines of the curved furniture trend is a refreshing change from the harsh, geometric shapes that have been in trending in interior design for so long. Curved lines also has a calming effect and can help to create a sense of balance in a room.

Curved furniture can be used to create a sense of visual interest and movement in a space as well. If you have a room that feels too static or boring, adding a few pieces of curved furniture can really help to liven things up.

Curved furniture designs are also very versatile. They can be used in a variety of different ways to update your home decor. Whether your choosing a great statement piece for your living room or using arched shapes and rounded corners for other pieces to accent your home, there are many ways to incorporate the curved design in your home.

The Do’s Of Curved Furniture Trend

DO Create a Conversation Area

Conversation spaces like your living room or cozy nooks are perfect for incorporating these contemporary styles. A curved sofa or curved accent chairs can create a space that is inviting, elegant and inviting.

DO Use Curved Furniture As A Focal Point

The curvy silhouette of a sofa can act as a great focal point in your home. Sofas, a curved table, an accent chair, even a curved storage cabinet can be a piece of art in your home. Using soft edge curvy lined furniture can really stand out and make a statement.

DO Use Curved Furnishings To Accent

If you’re not trying to create a focal point using curves, then you can do so with accents. Decorative objects, sculptural artwork, even smaller home furnishings like a curved teak bench or a curved tabletop desk.

DO Break Up The Space With Curves

Another great way to draw inspiration from this design trend by using it to break up a static space or one that needs a bit of contrast. A curved back dining chair is a great addition to a dining table.

It’s an even better way to add a new design element when there’s already much repetition in design. Form and shape are elements in interior design that definitely impact the look of a space and using curved shapes can do that.

DO Use Curved Furniture If You Have A Small Space

If your home is on the smaller side, then using curved furniture can be a great addition. Doing so will add a little bit of softness to the overall appearance of your home.  Curved lines can help to create the illusion of more space and make a small room appear more open and spacious.

The Don’ts Of Curved Furniture Trend

DON’T Get Carried Away With Curved Furniture

Incorporating a curvy shape design or two into your interior design works. However, too much of one thing can be one way to quickly get over a style as we have seen with past trends. Not to mention that it can be distracting to the space itself. If you’re going to use curved furniture and round shapes, be sure to mix in other shapes and styles.

Especially if it’s something that is experimental for your space. Use arched or organic shaped home accessories like art or an arched or irregular shaped mirror. This will add a touch of curves to your home. This is a good idea if you’re not ready to commit to the trend just yet.

DON’T Pair Too Many Curved Furniture Together

This brings us to our next point. You want to create some distance between items that look the same to some degree.

So if you have a curved sofa, don’t put two curved accent chairs right next to it. Place them across from each other or at an angle. The same goes for any other type of furniture. You want to create a balance in your design, so too much of one thing can really throw things off.

DON’T Forget The Function

Just because a piece of furniture has a curvy shape doesn’t mean it has to be all about the looks. There are plenty of functional pieces like ottomans, coffee tables and sideboards that come in a variety of different shapes and sizes. Choose what works best for your space and needs.

DON’T Stray From Your Personal Style

When it comes to incorporating any type of trend into your home, be sure it’s something that you really love. If you’re not a fan of the curved furniture trend, then don’t force it. Trends come and go, but your personal style is here to stay.

Choose what makes you happy and design your space accordingly. After all, your home should be a reflection of you and what you love. If you try to incorporate something just because it’s popular, chances are it’s not going to make you happy in the long run.
