The curve has made a welcome return to interiors in recent years. One of the biggest trends that marked the design style of the ‘60s, this genre of décor has now once again made a lasting impression on our homes. Beloved by interior designers and fashion influencers alike, this retro trend has been beautifully reimagined for the 21st century.
This décor trend is in part thanks to influential designers like Tali Roth and Pierre Yovanovitch, as well as furniture designers like Mario Milana and Pierre Paulin. And it has now filtered down to mainstream design - even Gwyneth Paltrow’s latest Goop collection is heavily influenced by the curve.
Interested in trying out this trend for yourself? Look to my-furniture.com for inspiration. From sumptuous sofas to playful rugs, here are three ways you can incorporate this fresh modern design easily into your home:
Sofas with curves in all the right places
A beautifully curved and considered sofa can be a statement piece by itself, here are a few points to bear in mind:
- Style away from your walls – a statement sofa is best floating in the middle of the room, so the back of the sofa is exposed. Space permitting of course.
- Consider subtly repeating the curves – whether that’s in your coffee table, rug or accessories.
- Rounded sofas work particularly well if upholstered in textural fabrics like a sumptuous velvet.
- Sounds obvious, but make sure your sofa will fit. Take the time to mark out the area with masking tape – curved sofas can seem smaller than they actually are.
Stay ahead of the curve with your furniture
Embrace the relaxed feel of this trend with its curvy shapes and organic rounded edges. As a nod to the trend, consider one-off pieces such as a console table or statement chair.
Bring in the curve appeal with your accessories
If you are not quite ready for the big commitment of a new sofa or bed, why not invest in a piece of artwork or a new rug? Or even think about incorporating the curve trend into your lighting. My Furniture have an extensive range of accessories that fit the bill perfectly.
