There’s no doubt about it, arches and curves are dominating Australia’s interior trends in 2024 and if there’s one piece of furniture with the power to transform a home, it’s a curved sofa.

A curved sofa is a statement piece that elevates rooms and captures the eye. But beyond their shapely beauty, curved lounges also have the power to soften rooms, create a welcoming and relaxed environment and solve the problem of awkward spaces where other sofas don’t work.

To help you find the perfect curvy couch for your space, we’ve put Australia’s dreamiest pieces in one helpful shortlist. But first, let’s take a closer look at what you need to consider when choosing one.

What to consider when buying a curved sofa

You might already be sold on the beauty of a curved lounge, but there are some important things to take into account before you dive into a purchase. After all, a couch is a major piece that has to be spot on.

• Do you (really) have the space? While they seem smaller, curved sofas often take up more room than others. Before you buy, mark out the sofa’s outside measurements on your floor with tape or string. Remember, for a curvy sofa to truly shine, it needs plenty of space around it.
• What type of curves are you after? Are you after u-shaped seating, a sweeping wave, a curved backrest or perhaps a rounded chaise? Curves vary from couch to couch, so think about what works best for your space.
• Materials – Given the extra cost you’re likely to put into a curved couch, pay special attention to the upholstery fabric to ensure it’s going to go the distance – especially with kids in the picture. Leather is fabulous for wiping down when needed, but fabric should ideally be treated to stand up to regular daily use and the odd spill.

How to style a curved sofa

• Go for a round coffee table – If you choose to use a coffee table, round is the way to go. The strong lines of square or rectangular styles often clash with the softness of a curved sofa. For a light and bright look, a glass coffee table is perfect because it reflects light.
• Keep the curves coming! – Whether it’s a large arched mirror or a round pendant light, try continuing curves throughout the room.
• Add some armchairs – Accent chairs help fill empty space and balance out the room. Cosy boucle armchairs work brilliantly with curved sofas, or for a more eclectic look, try some mid-century armchairs.
• Go full circle – Speaking of balance, positioning two curved sofas opposite each other in a mirror image creates the effect of a circle, which is great for conversations and for balancing the room. This works well in large sitting rooms where there is no TV.
• Cushions are the finishing touch – No sofa is complete with the perfect cushions, so keep some cash in the kitty for some quality options. If you prefer fewer cushions on the sofa, you can always add some floor pillows instead.
