5 Ways to Try the Curved Furniture Trend

Get the look with tips from our design experts.
Soft lines. Gentle curves. Rounded forms. Curved furniture has been trending for a while now, and we can see why. They have an inviting appeal and we love the way they add a cool factor to the room. It’s a refreshing change from typical, squared silhouettes—which also makes them the perfect accent. Here are five ways to try the curvy furniture trend, right from our Free Online Design experts.
1. Elliptical Sofa

If you want to make the most of this trend, a curved sofa is the way to go. The sofa is the main piece in your living room, so trying out the curved trend here will have the most impact (and visibility). It also has the ability to break an extremely linear room and invite a cozier feel. 

 
Take our Kaya sofa. It creates a relaxing ambiance by softening the room with its curved shape. Plus, the rounded back looks great anywhere—so you can even place it in the middle of a room to break up a large, open space. We also love how Kaya’s unique design is a blend of contemporary and retro, resulting in a more eclectic style.
2. Curved Accent Chair

If you want to try the curvy furniture trend without completely committing to a new sofa, go with an accent chair. A curved accent chair also allows you to break the linear shapes from modern furniture and adds a soft and cozy touch to any space. Our Noel accent chair pairs perfectly with most interior styles and it makes a great addition to any scale living space. The top-to-bottom velvet upholstery adds a soft feel, plus the cutout detail and open base help your space feel light.
3. Round Side Chair

Dining rooms like curves too! To try out the trend in your dining area, consider adding a curved side chair. Our Claude side chair is a sleek, armless barrel chair with a rounded back. Legless and completely upholstered, Claude is versatile and will complement your table and surrounding décor. A dining chair is an easy way to add soft lines and curves. Remember, you can always start slow with two chairs at the end of your table and get the rest later. Claude even works outside of the dining room, like at your vanity, your writing desk, or as a statement piece to soak up unwanted negative space. 

 
4. Fun Accent Table

An easy way to tiptoe into this trend: Add the Jacy accent table (available in black and white). The curvy profile and textured exterior inherently accent most spaces. This multi-use table can act as a nightstand, end table, or a décor stand (aka just put cute stuff on it). Here are a couple of things to keep in mind. The black finish can make your room appear more edgy and dramatic, or give some more depth. On the other hand, styling with the white finish in a moody room can offset the darker colors and create contrast.
5. Playful Vase

The easiest way of all to try on this trend: home accents. They’re also very popular in the design world right now. There are a variety of way of ways to add some curve, but the easiest of all is adding a vase, like Jasper. 

 

The profile helps to soften straight lines commonly found in most furniture, like coffee tables, nightstands, and servers. The soft, muted colors work well with the shape, as they help to create a calming and tranquil atmosphere. It immediately adds visual interest and depth, while creating an organic and natural vibe. 

 

Whether redesigning an entire space or just looking to add a nice touch, using curved accessories in an interior design project, will naturally assist in bringing a stylish look into every room.

Designer Maria Wilkinson providing her designer tips on curved furniture:

"When arranging your living room furniture, always start with the largest piece first. To achieve a cohesive look, arrange furniture that follows the contour of your curved sofa. 

 

For a laid-back seating group, assemble the furniture in a loose circle around a central point. 

For example, a curved sofa and two chairs arranged in a circle around a coffee table can create a cozy furniture setting that's ideal for conversation. 

 

To create balance and harmony in your space, accent the sofa with at least a few curved and round elements. 

 It’s important to be thoughtful in selecting a coffee table when styling a curved sofa. As long as the table has soft edges, it should pair nicely. Glass coffee tables are another option to make a room feel more spacious."
