Home Trend: It's All About The Curves

Bring a softer, more inviting feel to your space with roundness and curves. With spherical vases, circular tables, curvy armrests and globe lights, there are endless ways to incorporate this trend into your home.

Serene living space


Free-flowing elements can add a sense of coziness and relaxation to your living room: Think an overstuffed sofa or cloud-like armchair paired with a rounded ottoman and coffee table. To incorporate this eye-catching aesthetic on a budget, small details like circular toss cushions or a curvy plant pot can inject softness and comfort with ease.

Curves in the kitchen

Cabinetry and countertops are full of straight lines and sharp angles, but you can create softness and movement in your kitchen in small ways through rounded glass jars, ceramic containers or a fruit bowl displayed on the island. If you’re looking to go bigger, invest in dining chairs with cylindrical legs or a curved back, a circular table or even round seats to place at the breakfast bar. These fluid lines can add a whimsical feel to the functional nature of the room.

Amp up the impact of your circular coffee or side table by choosing one with a rounded base that gives it curves from top to bottom. For a more subtle option, another great way to incorporate this trend into your furniture is to choose pieces like a desk or dresser with a combination of angular and rounded lines. The result is a perfect blend of modern and classic that fits every room.

Inviting entryway


No matter the size, your home’s entrance sets the tone for the rest of the house. If you have space, a curved bench instantly adds a friendly and welcoming touch to the entryway. If space is at a premium, a basket or coat rack by the door can do the trick to bring fluidity into this area.

All about accents


Small decor accents are a low-commitment way to dip your toes into the curvy trend. Pieces like vases and candle holders are easy to integrate into your current aesthetic but can still make a strong statement without breaking the bank.

Circle of light


Table lamps, floor lamps, sconces, pendants and more: lighting fixtures are an important decor element, and their shape and style have a direct impact on the atmosphere of a room. Whether you lean toward classic, contemporary, industrial or romantic styles, there are options to make your lighting dreams a reality, curved edges and all.

Soothing sanctuary


Give your bedroom a hint of softness with rounded light fixtures or furniture, like a funky nightstand or chair. For a cost-effective and easy swap, try replacing your linens with ones that boast curved or abstract patterns. Whether it’s an entire duvet set or a single throw, these patterns will add an air of playfulness and comfort to the most relaxing room in the house.

Rounded renos


If you’re ready to dive head-first into the curvy trend and want to add roundness and flow into your space during renovations, there are a plethora of options. Go big with arched doorways, semi-circle windows, vaulted wall niches or a rounded kitchen island. You can also enjoy these soft silhouettes in subtler ways by choosing a rounded sink, cabinet hardware or light switch and outlet covers.
