These 8 Homes Prove Curves Are 2022's Biggest Interior Design Trend
Over the last few years curves have been the standout form in interior design. And we're happy to say that this design trend won't be going anywhere in 2022. Everything from chairs and coffee tables, to walls and mirrors will be distinctively voluptuous. This design aesthetic helps to create flow in a home and ties in with our increased desire for cosy, safe, and soft sanctuaries.
There's good reason why we're attracted to this shape in our homes. According to a 2007 study that examined the emotional effect of curvilinear forms in interior design, rounded shapes in internal spaces are perceived to be less stressful than angular shapes. Another study conducted in 2012 found that interior settings and furniture with rounded contours promote higher levels of relaxation compared to angular contours.
To help inspire you, we've rounded up a selection of stunning homes from our The Makers series that are wholeheartedly embracing the curved trend in all its glory.
