Creating Flow: How Curved Furniture Transforms Small Spaces

In the world of interior design, there are things that are more challenging than others. But the more challenging a furniture design is, the more rewarding it is.  One such challenge that we all face when decorating and renovating our humble abodes is maximizing the use of small spaces. Whether it is decorating a small, compact studio apartment, a small office space carved out of a previously unused area in the house, or creating a tiny nook in your living room, the goal remains the same: to create a space that is open, harmonious, and functional. Today, we will see how curved furniture made out of flexi plywood can make a herculean project of decorating small spaces easier. We have also compiled a list of furniture trends that are going to become classics in the coming years, especially in the small spaces decor segment. 

Why Curved furniture works in small spaces.

When it comes to decorating a small interior, every furniture choice that you make has an outsized impact. While the straight edge has been around for quite some time and is quintessential of home decor, curved furniture is also making its mark in the interior design industry. Curved furniture is the future of furniture design because it brings softness and movement to the room, which gives a flow and an aesthetic appeal. However, if you are still in doubt about curved furniture, then here are some of the advantages that you must know.

  1. It encourages visual flow : One of the most important reasons why we decorate our houses with the best pieces of furniture is to give a visual rhythm to the space. And curved furniture, be it  a curved sofa, a curved dining chair or any rounded furniture, it gives a seamless flow to the room. It gives the room a sense of openness, even if the room is physically smaller. 

  2. It softens tight layouts : when it comes to small faces, there is only limited space to work and move around. In such cases, curved furniture, a rounded ottoman, or a kidney-shaped desk, placed with living room furniture,saves space and looks visually appealing. Similarly, a round table, an arched floor lamp, or a crescent-shaped sofa lightens the layout of the room, which otherwise would get cramped in hard-lined furniture and shop corner furniture.

  3. It maximises corners and unused spaces: Corners that are especially joined by two walls without any separation in the middle are the most unused parts of the room. Such places can be utilised by curved furniture like an L-shaped study table, which can be used as a study, home office, or even as a gaming station. Such installation of curved furniture not only saves space but also gives a state-of-the-art vibe to your space. 

Curved Furniture Design in Action

Now that you know how curved furniture can do more good than traditional edged furniture, let's take a look at how you can utilise rounded furniture in your small spaces in different rooms, and make it look welcoming and warm. 

  • Living room : Apartments with small living areas are often dominated by sitting areas. In such cases, a curved sofa not only provides a visual flow to the room but also allows for sitting space for more than just 3 to 5 people. If in a traditional sofa you need to have three different pieces of furniture, with a curved sofa, all you need is one piece of furniture paired with a centre table. There you have it, living room furniture that is modern, futuristic, with a lot of space for movement. 

  • Bedroom: When it comes to bedrooms, everybody wants bedroom furniture that’ll make their space feel like a sanctuary. But if it is a small space, then incorporating curved shapes will maintain the serenity and softness of your most intimate space. A round headboard, a sculptural bedside table, or even a circular mirror above the dresser.  These are small elements of curved furniture that will not only break the rigidity of a rectangular room but will also give it a human feel it. 

  • Kitchen and dining area: Houses with tight kitchen and dining areas with curved furniture are the ones that will greatly benefit from it. A curved dining table with curved dining chairs encourages better movement and conversations. Whether the dining area is a part of the kitchen or not, having rounded furniture with a Lazy Susan installed with it will take your dining table functionality to the next level.

  • Home Office : working from home has now become a common phenomenon, and having a functional corner of the house is mandatory. A curved desk, the one that is semicircular or crescent-shaped, can make the most out of your limited space. Above your table, you can have a wall-mounted bookshelf again in a curved shape that can hold your books and other tech devices. While furniture companies may not be able to help you out with the semi-circular table, with Greenply, you can get your office setup customized.
