The past few years have seen a resurgence of curves throughout the home, including curvy furniture, and that trend remains true for 2024. Homeowners are ditching rooms filled with stark angles to embrace the softer, more welcoming feel of curves. While we might not go so far as a tête-à-tête chair (although we wouldn’t judge you if you did), we’re welcoming curves this year as curvy comfort reigns supreme over straight edges.
Curves are in with sofas and sectionals! Curved sofas are making a comeback as people search for a way to connect through conversation with friends and family after years of focusing on screens. A curved or round sofa makes it easier to see everyone seated next to you without leaning forward or craning your neck around. Sofas and sectionals are also a great place to start adding soft curves because of their dominant presence in a room. A curved sofa can help add depth to a room, while drawing the focus toward the center. If a curved sofa isn’t for you, look for one that incorporates rounded elements through arm rests and plush backing to create a more inviting feel.
Curves abound in more than just sofas! Rounded accent chairs are a great way to soften a space without the expense of a new sofa. Add one to your living room, or tuck one into a corner to create your own private reading nook. Further soften the area with a round side table holding a table lamp to create a cozy, inviting space for relaxation.
Coffee tables don’t have to be square or rectangular anymore. In fact, the shins of some more accident prone individuals (or parents of young kids) might prefer some softer curves! Round coffee tables are especially great for odd shaped or asymmetric areas as their curved edges allow for easier movement around the furniture. Round coffee tables placed off-center can also add an element of design, instead of accentuating any room quirks.
Area rugs have always been great at dividing up a room into different focused areas especially when it comes to open concept living. A rug under the sofa, coffee table, and accent chairs creates a living room. A rug under the dining room table completes an eating area, etc. And what better way to embrace curves this year than to incorporate a round rug? Placing a round rug under a round sofa or a round dining table creates cohesion and movement. Carry the curves downward to continue a more relaxed vibe.
Curvy, rounded pieces can be found everywhere and help accentuate a more laid back feel. Have a blank wall? Look for a circular mirror or artwork featuring spheres or wavy lines. Need new lighting? Find a table or floor lamp featuring soft, curvy lines instead of straight edges and sharp corners. Empty side table? Add a bowl, vase, or curvaceous table sculpture to finish it off. Need more storage? A round ottoman might do the trick.
Get curvy this year with beautiful soft edges and rounded corners. These smooth lines will invite you to get cozy and stay a while.
