Sculptural serenity
Curves have appealed to our interior eye for years now – it’s a trend worth committing to for the long-term.
Mimicking nature and fluid movement, curvature invites peace and comfort to an interior space, and a breathtaking visual element to exteriors. Connected by shape to organic natural forms, curves offer the same tranquil environment to a space.
Between interior and exterior architecture, furniture, and décor, sculptural style can become a cornerstone of your home – yet modesty is key. Be mindful of balance and avoid overdoing it, experts advise careful consideration of design, layout and furnishing.
The seven principles of interior design: balance, contrast, unity, scale, proportion, details, emphasis, and rhythm prove a beneficial checklist before initiating changes. Less is more: start slow, adding elements only as appropriate. Where to begin? Doorways, windows, fireplaces, wall niches, shower screens, fixtures and fittings, benches and tabletops, wall art, mirrors, furniture, and décor.
A curved couch wraps around a room like a warm hug, while a rounded mirror is a softer alternative to a common home object. Embrace textiles with fluid patterns or textures, harmonising this with both similar colours and contrast. Swap square for circular fittings or curve the glass that isolates a walk-in shower. One small change could make your world a much more inviting space.
