Cocoon room

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again; 2021 is the year to embrace curves in your living spaces. Specifically, cosy, cocoon-like seating. From jellybean sofas and jubey ottomans, to cloudy, boucle-clad occasional chairs – cushioned perches are everywhere.

These plush seating options are an instant way to up the comfort-factor of your home nest – especially as we head into a Southern Hemisphere winter. Now readily available, curved seating is a clear departure from the minimalist and clean lines of living room furniture past.

While design magazines and Instagram grids show rooms fully decked out in curved everything, embracing the aesthetic at your place could be as simple as adding an occasional chair or ottoman to your existing seating line up. Or, perhaps you’d like to embrace a curved love seat or even curvier-than-usual chaise lounge.

But if you’ve been on the hunt for a new sofa and like the idea of snuggling into a large, velvety croissant – options abound.

This indoor trend is making its way outdoors, too. Here, outdoor furniture is plush and rounded, yet constructed from more durable, all-weather materials.
