What are my options for curves?
Curves in home design are all about bringing a soft, sleek look. There are many options to consider for including them your home, all at different price points. Below we have listed some of our favourites:
- Interior Doorways and Internal Design Features
The trend of curves in residential design is most popularly featured on the inside of homes. We see more and more homes opting for curved or arched doorways to maximise on soft and homely features. Clients are also including curved features on walls, as an art-deco focal point in any room. Many of these come in the way of wall decals, wallpaper, or even a statement piece of artwork. Options like these are a low-cost, low commitment way of including curves on the inside of your home.
- Windows
As beautifully depicted in the Newport Homes Display, a curved or circular window can set apart a modern dwelling. This home is sleek and sharp, but the curves act as a soft focal point to draw you in and make the space feel more homely. These types of features are great for contemporary home designs. Usually, these homes are all about straight lines, but the addition of curvature in your façade can elevate the entire design, providing a custom touch and a new innovative feel. This option is great for clients who admire curvature in home design but aren’t fully looking to base their home around the idea.
- Curved Walls
Another way of featuring curves in your design, would be through including a curved feature wall. These are less common than curved windows or doorways, however, are most impactful to your design. This style is often included with a more modern design, so it can feature beautiful juxtapositions between straight and curved lines, as per the design below. This option obviously comes with the largest commitment. Designs such as this are based entirely around the curves. This option is perfect for creating a cutting – edge modern home. We expect dwellings like this to increase in popularity as they are paving the way for new forms in residential design. They stand out in their neighbourhoods and are great examples of how to use curved walls in modern dwellings.
