Why Curved Furniture Is Having a Moment
Straight lines have dominated living rooms for years. But lately, we’re seeing a shift towards softer silhouettes, rounded backs and curved arms. It’s a look that can make a room feel less rigid and more inviting, while adding another shape into a space without changing everything around it. And you don’t need a whole new sofa to bring a curve into your home.
Start with an Occasional Chair
A curved chair is one of the simplest ways to introduce a softer shape into a room. Our Arlo Chair has a rounded back and curved arms, giving it a distinctive silhouette that works particularly well alongside more structured pieces. Place it beside a sofa, in an unused corner or opposite your main seating to create another place to sit.
Why Curves Work
Rounded forms can help break up a room filled with straight lines and create a natural contrast between different pieces. A curved chair alongside a more structured sofa, for example, can stop a room from feeling too uniform.
The key is not to overdo it. One or two curved pieces can be enough to introduce a different shape and give the room a more layered feel.
Made For Your Home
Choose a fabric that complements your existing sofa for a more considered look, or use the chair as an opportunity to introduce a different colour or pattern.
