There’s something in the air and it’s making everyone go wild for curves, arches, circles, and soft edges – and we’re definitely here for it. There is something truly calming about the curved aesthetic that has the ability to instantly make one feel grounded and at ease. Whether you’re designing a contemporary or traditional home, the soft silhouette of curves has a place in your space (see what we did there).
The mirror into your soul
Large, small, ornate, or plain, mirrors are a thing of necessity and feature in all homes in one way or another. They have the ability to brighten a room and give the illusion of a larger space – almost like magic!
But lately, they have been getting a whole lotta love across the interior design realm, with shaped mirrors featured in every beautiful home on Instagram it seems. The most popular shape is the arch. With the combination of curved and straight lines, the arched shape feels both contemporary and deco-esque, almost perfect for any application.
Pill-shaped oval mirrors are also featuring heavily in our feeds and the minds of our customers. Striking and equally subtle in appearance, this shape is popular in stand-alone spaces like powder rooms, where you can afford to do something a ‘little different’.

Textures and tiles
Now, we don’t have ‘tiles’ in our name for no reason – we’re crazy about them in every shape and form. But for the purposes of this curvaceous blog post, we’re talking all tiles curved and round, 3D and patterned.
From ceramic penny rounds, to handmade fishscales, and fluted marble tiles, you are bound to make a statement with your choice of curves. And the best thing about it? Just have fun with the design and take it all the way to the ceiling and beyond if you really want to (just like Bonnie did from Three Birds Renovations).
No matter what form of tiles you use, that sense of calmness we mentioned earlier will occur instantly. Create your own oasis, defined by your own terms, and enjoy the beauty of your space.

Curve it up with a twist
There are so many ways to express your personality in your home, and if you’re not really interested in putting the curves in your mirrors or tiles, you can always look at other applications of this wonderous silhouette.
We love the idea of curved island benches, arched hallways, and even round rangehoods. What’s more, you might even consider creating features within your home with curved glass, walls, or ceilings to accentuate the shape. Think in colour and texture, and add elements of softness through cushions, rugs, and even bedheads.
We could go on, and on, and on, and on…
