A new year often brings fresh trends in home design that can revive and reenergize a space. What’s one of the most popular design predictions for this year? Curves! If you think this particular trend will be difficult to incorporate into your house, have no fear. Here are five tips for using curves in your home decor that are sure to create a look that is updated, on-trend, and downright curvaceous.
Splurge on new furniture
One of the most exciting ways to incorporate the curved decor trend is by updating your furniture. If you have room in your budget, look for larger items like sectionals, couches, and sofas. These pieces are usually the focal point in a living room or basement and add warmth and softness to the space. For those who don’t want to get rid of their current couch, you can add smaller statement pieces like sloped lounge chairs and low rounded tables for a similar effect.
Lay down a new area rug
Rolling out an area rug is an easy way to introduce new colors, patterns, and textures to any given room. Now, it can be an easy way to introduce new shapes too! Rather than opting for a standard rectangular design, lay down a circular rug to keep your look soft, open, and grounded. A round area rug with fringe or tassels is the perfect addition to a bohemian-style home, while a plush, faux fur would look great in a glam-luxe-style room.
Create new shapes with painted accents
Want to take a little risk? Consider using colorful paint to create an arch accent wall. You could do this behind more prominent pieces of furniture like console tables and high shelving units, or you might let it stand on its own as a proper accent wall and decorative statement. Regardless of which you choose, adding a painted arch accent is an easy, customizable way to introduce curves, color, and character to your design.
Update your lighting fixtures
Another easy way to incorporate soft, curved edges into your decor is through statement lighting. From rounded decorative lamps to ball pendant lights, there are countless ways to use light features and fixtures to bring curves, and a sense of gentle comfortability, into your home.
Think outside the box
When you initially think about incorporating a trend into your home, you probably look at your main furniture and color palette. However, there are plenty of ways you can add arcs around your house. Think round mirrors, paintings with circular designs, round pots for hanging and floor plants, and curved kitchen islands. When you choose to update one of your decorative pieces, it may seem subtle, but it’s just as impactful as making a more significant change.
Embrace Curves in Your Home
Now, it is time to curve your enthusiasm because these tips are sure to help you create a space that is up-to-date, stylish, and all yours. Instead of replacing all of your straight lines with round edges, choose a few items that you can swap to embrace this new trend.
