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.

Aura Home luxury velvet round cushions: Perfect for dipping your toes into the trend, the ‘ginger’ and ‘olive’ colourways are our pick. $69.95.

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.

We love: The new terracotta and brass wares from Lightly

While the new Lightly range features some gorgeous shapes and textures, it’s the sumptuous mix of terracotta ceramics and brass that really caught our eye. Inspired by the unlikely pairing of Palm Springs and traditional spices, the collection titled ‘Cinnamon’ features 35 new items across table top, lighting, dining and living.

“Past seasons have been more focused on materials. This season is really about colour, it’s grounded in functionality and inspired by the practicality of mid-century Australian makers,” says Lightly designer and director Cindy-Lee Davies.

Earthy, textural vessels

The new range features a gorgeous selection of vessels in earthy, tonal hues alongside small bowls and trays and classic planters made from powder-coated spun metal.

Timeless tableware handmade from solid brass

Already well known for their handmade solid brass pieces, the new table top range expands on this offering – and just in time for the warmer weather when entertaining ramps up. We love the matte finish and classic shapes in the range that includes salad servers, a nut cracker and stationery items among many other things. It’s hard to choose a fave!

The range also features playful lighting pieces and a furniture line-up that includes tables with brass accents and the new ‘Pinocchio’ light which is available as a pendant, floor and table lamp.

“We’ve stayed true to our eleven-year history of innovative materials, considered design and partnerships with small-scale makers around the world,” says Cindy.
