How to Embrace the Curved Furniture Trend

How to embrace the curved furniture trend in your home interiors

With organic shapes and ergonomic comfort, curves are the latest furniture trend to captivate the world of interior design. Even more refined than the curves that dominated in the 1970s, modern curved furniture is defined by fluidity and softness.

From modular sofas to dining tables, discover how you can embrace curves in your home for a fresh and elegant aesthetic and hear from King Living Junior Designer Zara Fong about what makes curved furniture unique.

Curved furniture styling tips

Curves create a visual flow that adds interest to a space. How you use curved furniture within that space depends on the size and layout of the room, as well as your existing interior styling.

You can pair angular lines with a bold statement piece, such as a modern curved sofa or a curved dining table. For King Designer Zara Fong, balancing curved and straight lines is a way to add depth and interest to a room.

“The interplay between the straight and curved furniture creates an intriguing contrast that draws the eye.”

Or you may prefer to introduce different curved elements to create a cohesive, contemporary look. Layer textured throws and cushions to add depth to a curved couch and incorporate curved artwork, mirrors or lighting to echo the styling.

A considered way to continue this visual language is through rugs, whether circular, organic in shape or patterned with soft, curved lines. These details enhance flow in high-traffic areas while grounding the room. Sculptural coffee or side tables can also provide a practical yet stylish nod to curvature, particularly when layered at different heights.

For curved lounge chairs, fabrics such as chenille or velvet enhance the softness of the curves, creating an inviting environment. Bouclé is another popular fabric choice, offering softness and texture. Neutral shades such as beige, create and great offer timeless appeal and allow the beauty of the curves to shine. Vibrant colours and patterned fabrics can add personality to the space but be mindful of balance so as not to overwhelm the curves.

Curved sofas

A curved sofa in a living room serves as the focal point of the room. The curved contours and generous seating area invite relaxation while allowing for efficient utilisation of space.

The 1977 Sofa style dates back to the early days of King Living – and of the curved furniture trend – with a modern reimagination of a classic design. A timeless, curved modular sofa, it features a low profile and relaxed curves that sit atop the signature King Living engineered steel frame and suspension system.

Inspired by the flow and fluidity softer silhouettes can offer in a living space layout, the form of our most loved Jasper Sofa has been reimagined with the addition of the Curve Module.

“Our aim was to create a beautifully curved design that could be an art piece while offering comfort and functionality.” - Zara Fong, Designer

Every detail of the Jasper Sofa can be tailored, from shelving finishes and integrated storage to smart accessories. Its modular design adapts effortlessly to changes in lifestyle, space, and aesthetic.

Curved armchairs

A simple way to introduce curves into a living space without investing in replacing your sofa, curved lounge chairs and armchairs add a subtle elegance.

The Oliver Tub Chair, Fleur Tub Chair and King Boulevard Armchair offer varying degrees of wrap-around comfort with gentle curves and organic lines.

“If you feel a curved sofa isn’t right for you, there are many ways to bring curves into your living space – occasional chairs are often curved for comfort and tub chairs are a classic design that can work with any space” - Zara Fong, Designer.

The Luna Chair makes a gentle statement, where elegant curves meet striking angles in a masterclass of organic form. Available in both indoor and outdoor designs, Luna brings a sense of serenity to any setting, from a calm interior corner to an open-air retreat.

Curved ottomans

To introduce subtle curves into a room, ottomans are an ideal choice.

Designed to perfectly pair with the curves and comfort of the Aura Sofa, the Aura Ottoman creates a place to relax and rest your legs while enhancing the sofa’s look and feel with a new dimension of curves.

The Crescent Ottoman and Lode Ottoman are available in different sizes that celebrate their sculptural forms. Add one to a living room space for a versatile seating or cluster multiple ottomans for added visual appeal. Both designs are also available in outdoor options, offering continuity between interior and alfresco styling. Their organic forms complement the natural surroundings, creating a more fluid connection between furniture and the outdoors.

Curved dining tables

In dining rooms, a curved dining table or chairs can add an element of elegance and flow. The curved edges of a dining table create a welcoming atmosphere and facilitate easy conversation among guests.

The Magnolia Extendable Dining Table brings a refined balance of form and function. Petite proportions unite with gentle curves to create an understated silhouette, ideal for compact interiors. Its organic shape and natural timber finish offer a sense of warmth and intimacy, perfect for everyday dining or entertaining in smaller spaces.

The Issho Dining Table is a celebration of curves with sculptural pillars at the base that can be arranged in different configurations. Sculptural simplicity defines its design, with a dynamic base that transitions seamlessly from open to closed. The addition of the optional Lazy Susan elevates the functionality, making shared dining moments feel effortless while maintaining the table’s refined, architectural presence.

Outdoor curved furniture

The flowing lines of curved furniture complement the organic shapes found in nature, creating a harmonious connection between your outdoor space and the surrounding environment.

“Curves can be particularly beautiful outdoors. The soft, rounded forms evoke a sense of tranquillity and relaxation, allowing you to fully embrace the beauty of outdoor living.” - Zara Fong, Designer

Consider the Delta Outdoor Circle, Luna Outdoor Chair and Olive Outdoor Table to introduce curves into your outdoor styling.

Curved furniture not only softens the hard architectural edges often found in exterior spaces but also encourages a sense of flow and ease. Rounded profiles help to guide movement through the space, making alfresco settings feel more inviting and serene. Whether arranged poolside, beneath a pergola or on an open terrace, curved designs invite conversation and relaxation while echoing the gentle forms of the natural world.

Luna Outdoor Chairs are beautifully and ergonomically curved.
