In today’s word, curves are king.
Well, not king exactly, but certainly more accepted than they were. And while fashion has moved with the times with more inclusive collections, so too the world of interiors is embracing swoops, rounded corners and plump cushioning in furniture.
Many of us are prone to stuffing furniture in the corners of the room to maximise moving-around space. And the logic checks out: why plonk a sofa in the middle of an open-plan space, effectively cutting your living room in half, or have a bed frame taking up the lion’s share of your bedroom?
Well, what you gain in living space, you lose in style. There’s a reason why hotel rooms and top restaurants avoid pushing furniture to the very edges of the room. It can make the room appear even smaller. Leaving small gaps suggests you have space to spare, in turn creating a sense of luxury. It doesn’t have to be a lot - a couple of inches can have a similar effect, even if your allotted square metres are on the squeezed side.
Besides, furniture with curves can look more inviting and appealing than all those hard edges, straight lines and sharp corners. Not to mention much safer for those who live in clumsy households or have pets and kids running around.
If you’re looking to add some boutique bouj to your living space, curved furniture is an easy route to get you there. We’ve rounded up some of the nicest pieces to invest in right now below. Whether you divulge to visitors where exactly you found them is up to you.
