The aesthetic of ‘quiet luxury’ continues to dominate the discourse, but a quieter, more tactile furniture trend is truly shaping our interiors for 2025: the curve.
We’re finally ready to forget sharp angles and rigid lines; the newest furniture trends gracefully embrace the arc and the circle, taking inspiration from classical architecture. This isn’t merely a style statement; it’s a profound focus on making the home a truly inviting and profoundly social sanctuary.

In influential spaces like Gwyneth Paltrow‘s living room, designed by Brigette Romanek, a clever blend of crisp architecture and deeply rounded forms defines a conversational, comfortable living room seating area.
Romanek captured the essence of this philosophy, stating, ‘Gwyneth was more interested in substance than style per se. Yes, it had to be pretty, but she was most concerned with things like mood and movement.’ This emphasis on flow and feeling made curvaceous design essential to the plan. Whether full-on voluptuous or merely gently rounded, curved furniture and fittings soften the overall look of a room, adding a bold design focus or a subtle touch of shaping to the décor.
According to Juliette Thomas, founder & director of Juliettes Interiors, ‘Curved furniture, especially sofas and armchairs, will remain popular, bringing a welcome softness to living spaces. These will often be adorned in light colors and highly textured fabrics like shades of white and cream, with bouclé remaining a favorite.’ These organic lines are essential for making our homes more cosseting spaces.
As Mandarin Stone’s creative director, Louisa Morgan points out, ‘This trend is all about creating a cocooning environment that will help you unwind physically and mentally.’ This speaks to the biophilic link at play, as curves are abundant in nature; they offer a crucial visual and emotional relief to the straight, hard edges typical of modern urban dwellings.
Thanks to material innovations and our collective desire for softer silhouettes, furniture shapes are becoming increasingly refined and almost sculptural. Sara Ramundo, Product Design Manager at Devon & Devon, beautifully summarizes the aesthetic: ‘Moldings and curves that soften straight lines represent the best of contemporary biophilic design, creating embracing spaces where purity and softness coexist in harmony.’
Unlike fleeting fads, the move toward softer, more human-centric silhouettes addresses a fundamental desire for comfort and connection in our homes, which is why we predict the enduring and elegant power of the curve will remain a dominant interior design trend well into 2026.
