Curved couches reshape the future of interior design

Curved couches, once popular in the Art Deco and Midcentury eras, are making a stylish return to modern interiors. Designers like Jeff Andrews estimate they use serpentine sofas in nearly half their projects, citing their ability to contrast with rigid architecture and add visual softness.

These couches are often placed at the centre of a room, breaking up large open-plan spaces and creating a more intimate, functional layout. Kim Gordon describes them as bringing in "girly hips", while Jessica Davis adds they feel "hug-like and enveloping".

Although some, like designer Annie Elliott, criticise them as "massive, space-age blobs", many praise their aesthetic and practical appeal. They suit both large and small spaces, often replacing bulkier sectional arrangements.

Before purchasing, experts advise measuring carefully, checking seat depth, and testing for comfort. Materials can always be changed if the default options feel uninspired.

Popular models include the Jacqueline sofa from Wayfair (£1,399), Crate & Barrel's Martina (£2,159), and the high-end Edra Standard by Francesco Binfaré. However, designers warn not to overdo the curves, balancing them with angular pieces is key to a cohesive space.

Curved couches, it seems, are once again bending the rules of interior design.
