After many years of geometric designs, curved designs are seeing a surge in popularity in the interior design world. Gentle curves bring a gentle organic vibe to interiors and add interest to spaces which have a lot of straight lines.

The resurgence of curves comes as the interior design world is moving from the more Minimalist aesthetic to a more free-flowing Maximalist look, where juxtaposing organic natural shapes with sharper geometric lines add a layer of interest to your interior design.

On trend wall arches, scalloped tiles, circular fabric and wallpaper designs, sphere-shaped lights, rounded stone bathrooms, curved sofas and furniture are now bringing a relaxed, easy look to our homes. We are looking for our homes to be a cocooning, welcoming space that are an expression of ourselves.

I love mixing geometric pieces of furniture like a low rectangular ottoman with another angular piece like a curved sofa. 

If you have a lot of straight lines in your house, an easy way to introduce a curved piece in your home is with accessories like a beautiful ceramic piece or a large round bowl full of fruit. 

If you are feeling braver, a sculptural chair or curvy table will work well in a space full of more geometric hard-edged pieces.

If you’re looking to subtly add curves to a space, mirrors or artwork with curved frames are the perfect way to add interest and create a focal point in a room. Studies have found we find circular shapes more positive than more geometric shapes because we are conditioned to find sharp edges and corners harmful and round shapes friendly and approachable. 

Line is important in every room design to make a room well-balanced and aesthetically pleasing. In small spaces, curved furniture helps to soften the room and extend the eyeline. In larger rooms, bigger more sweeping curves create flow and dynamism.

In 2025 we are all embracing a more relaxed and less prescriptive design aesthetic juxtaposing organic, oval shapes with sharper geometric lines.
