Interior trends 2019: Curves are back!

In what is no doubt a reflexive move away from the straight lines that have dominated design for at least a decade, curves are back and they are everywhere. From curved mirrors to circular furniture shapes and the ever-present round cushion, here are some of our favourite curvy interior finds.

HK Living Webbing range: Combining round shapes with black timber and natural rattan, this furniture collection is the definition of chic. From $1695.

Middle of Nowhere mirrors: Available locally at Life Interiors, the Middle of Nowhere range of arched and oval mirrors are some of the best examples of the trend. Minimal and streamlined, there’s black or timber edged ones as well as frameless options too. From $330.

Nood Co basins: We’ve coveted these basins for a while now. We love the way they combine a heavy industrial material (concrete) with feminine, curved shapes. From $750.

west elm: The American homewares brand has pounced on the curvy trend and is offering it in many iterations. We love the ‘Curva’ lacquer trays, $44, for their gorgeous colours and clean lines. The ‘Staggered glass’ floor lamp, $599, features five glass orbs that circle around an airy steel stem.

Globewest occasional chairs: With such a large furniture range, it’s no wonder the Globewest line-up features several statement-making curved pieces. The ‘Kennedy Globe’ occasional chair is bold and voluptuous while the ‘Kennedy Adelaide’ has softer, scalloped details and the ‘Gus Soren’ is a sculptural, almost 1980’s inspired piece.

Starburst lights: all you need to know about this trend

Celestial light fixtures are one of the biggest design trends at the moment, with Pinterest saves for the starburst design increasing 137% globally since last year, according to the Pinterest Home Report.

They’re a throwback to the ’60s era of mid-century modern glam and evoke serious Mad Men vibes. However, you don’t have to be a mid-century lover to incorporate this trend into your home. The fixtures also work exceptionally well in modern, contemporary and Scandinavian interiors.

Scroll through this edit of Pinterest inspiration to see how a starburst chandelier can steal the show in myriad different spaces.
