We simply can't be the only ones who have noticed that curved furniture is everywhere. Right? Soft and round silhouettes have taken over in interior design. Just look at the iconic Pumpkin Sofa from Ligne Rosetor the fun round lounge chair from Gubi. Everything is starting to look rounder and it's easy to see why. Soft, rounded shapes have a way of making a space feel more relaxed, inviting, and even a bit more luxurious.

If you've looking for ways to give a certain space in your house a makeover to give it a more relaxed feel, adding curved furniture to your room just might be your solution. The addition of a few rounded pieces here and there can really soften the edges of a modern interior space that prioritizes clean lines. Sure, clean lines are great for a minimalist design space, but it's not a bad idea to smooth out the harsh lines. It'll give the space a softer and warmer feel.

The best part about this trend is you don't have to go out of your way to try it out. You can always start small with accent pieces and hardware details. With their small footprint, they'll usually work with what is already in the space. This trend is easy to try once you learn which pieces are the perfect starters and how to correctly decorate your space with curved furniture.

When there are so many unexpected furniture trends coming back in style, it can be hard to narrow your choices down to the perfect one to try out in your space. But if you're especially loving curved furniture and thinking about reworking your whole space to give it a try, hold that thought for a minute. You can try out this trend in your home without splurging on pricey items. In fact, some of the best ways to bring curves into your space is through the addition of small statement pieces. Rounded hardware — like Peaha Half Moon Matte Gold Cabinet Knobs — is an easy entry point.

Swapping out hardware is great, but what's even better is the addition of accent pieces. Round vases, mirrors, or lamps can be a great little newbie to introduce in your space. You'd be shocked at how much their small presence can change up the vibe of a space. If you have a bigger budget to work with, then consider investing in a rounded coffee to place in front of your sofa, an ottoman, or even a curved bench. In comparison to hardware and accent pieces, these will obviously have a bigger impact, but still not overpower any existing layout or decor you already have in place. They also usually work well with modern or traditional interior styles.

Any room can benefit from the addition of these kinds of pieces. Try softening your entryway by adding a rounded mirror or elevate your bedroom by adding a curved bench at the foot of your bed. These items aren't difficult to move and they're versatile, so you can move them from room to room. Have fun experimenting with these items and see which part of your home they work best in.

Curved furniture goes beyond just being an interior trend. It may also have psychological benefits. Rounded shapes create a more calming and inviting atmosphere. The addition of rounded furniture can lessen the harshness and rigidity of angular lines. According to research by Oshin Vartanian of the University of Toronto, curves in an interior space were more likely to be perceived as beautiful than rigid, boxy interiors. They also stirred emotional responses from respondents.

When you have guests coming over for the first time, you want your guests to feel welcome and relaxed in your home. Changing up your interior design is an easy and quick way to do this. Curved elements can make your home feel cozier and more inviting than before, and you might be wondering just how. As humans, we're drawn to natural and organic shapes and items that are curved often remind us of them. So, the soft and round lines of these pieces will soften the sharp edges of a rectangular credenza or a boxy coffee table and create a sense of calmness and a more relaxed space. So, whether it's that round lounge chair you've been eyeing or a mushroom table lamp, go ahead and bite the bullet on it and give the curved furniture trend a try.
