Update your home with one of the hottest trends for 2022.
If you’re keen to stay on top of interior trends for 2022, you’ve come to the right place. Curves have never been more popular; with curved furniture, accessories and design expected to remain a top trend all year long. Think sleek silhouettes and rounded, organically-inspired shapes which embrace softness instead of design rigidity.
'Arcs are in all around the home. People will invest in home décor such as curved sofas, curved bar designs and curved kitchen islands,' say Pinterest. 'Boomers, Gen X and millennials are driving the searches behind this well-rounded home trend.'
James Pilling, Head of Design at My Furniture, agrees. He says curvaceous shapes that provide both comfort and ample space for entertaining is increasing in popularity: 'When it comes to details and shapes, modern-retro fluting and glamorous curved lines are strong trends that are set to continue.'
Whilst the use of curves and rounded shapes help to create a seamless flow which can be utilised across the home, it also taps into our connection with nature.
'Adding curves can introduce a visual rhythm that infuses a more relaxed, softer feel to the space, removing harsh lines and angular corners,' says Barrie Cutchie, Design Director at BC Designs. 'These softer curved lines are naturally found in nature and as we become more in tune with our surroundings, our buying habits have and will continue to be influenced, both in terms of design but also focused on eco-conscious purchases.'
On that note, we've compiled a wish list of stylish curved furniture and homeware that will help to create a more indulgent, relaxing space at home.
This handy ottoman serves as both a handy extra seat as well as somewhere to hide clutter. We love the clean, curved silhouette and hairpin legs.
This petite sofa is made for two, and couldn't be comfier. The plush velvet finish is complemented by the luxurious backrest and seat. We think the blush shade is a great way of bringing colour into your interior.
This pendant light is crafted from durable steel in an asymmetric curved shape – an easy way to catch the eye. We think this is a great choice if you're updating your lighting and want something truly contemporary.
We can't get enough of the sculptural twists and turns of this ivory candle holder. Use it as a statement centrepiece or as a way of dressing up your mantelpiece – wherever you put it, compliments are sure to follow.
This curved vase sports a subtle pink finish and unique cut-out detail. We love the organic shape and understated design which make this piece both simple and eye-catching.
We're obsessed with this solid oak wood dining table. The semi-circular legs make a big design statement – the slatted design lets light through under the lozenge-shaped table, and you can sit comfortably with your legs in either of the hollows.
Velvet upholstery in moss green makes this curved dining chair a cut above the rest. We particularly like the contrast of the thick padded backrest with the ultra-fine hairpin legs.
This chic mirror is an elevated take on a standard circular style. The curved, pebble-like shape has an organic look and feel, made all the more special with the addition of a gold frame. Just the thing for dressing up your bedroom or living room walls.
Is it a side table or a plinth? Either way, it's a sculptural statement that will elevate your interiors without being too overpowering. Circular, geometric shapes form the 'legs' of this tropical hardwood table to great effect.
This playful accent chair would look great in a contemporary living room, especially when paired with other pastel shades. The curved backrest is thick and plump, ideal for keeping you comfy.
A fun twist on a traditional lamp, this design features a sturdy arched base for a sculptural look. The combination of a glossy glaze with the linen lampshade creates an understated look.
This coffee table has double the curves for double impact. Featuring a rich stained finish over a swirling mango wood grain, curves don't get much sleeker than this.
Subtle enough to suit any interior, this rustic, solid wood chair is guaranteed to catch the eye. The curved back is comfy as can be, whilst the woven texture adds an intriguing tactile quality.
