Why are curved sofas popular right now? 

"I think because of supply chain issues everyone is revisiting vintage," said designer Mary Patton of Mary Patton Design. Jade Joyner, co-founder of design firm Metal + Petal, said of her current projects that about half are incorporating a curved sofa. 

Eilyn Jimenez, founder and creative director of Sire Design, believes interior design follows fashion trends. "Currently, the '30s and '40s are on the rise in fashion, and that was the same era when curved sofas were also very popular," she said. But she added that the style itself is also appealing. "A curved sofa goes beyond a piece of furniture and becomes an architectural piece," Jimenez said. 

What's the best room for a curved sofa?

"I think they're really beautiful for a more formal room, a gathering room or entertaining room," said Joyner.  

Jimenez also likes them for formal living rooms. "The organic shape allows it to be a freeform floating piece in a room rather than being pushed against a wall," she said.

What colors and fabrics are best for a curved sofa?

"Because of the curved shape, you need a fabric that allows for movement," said Jimenez. "Otherwise, you will have lots of seams." She recommends velvets, bouclé, or mohair. Joyner also likes bouclé and velvet. 

Whether you want something neutral or bold likely depends on the rest of your furniture, but you may want to stay away from patterns. I would stick with solid for sure," said Patton. "The design just in the shape of the sofa says a lot."

What are some drawbacks to curved sofas? 

Most designers we spoke to said curved sofas aren't always the most comfortable. "If you are looking for a sofa that will give you a complete hug, a curved sofa is not for you," Jimenez said.  

Try out the couch you're considering in a showroom, if possible. If you're shopping online, look closely at the reviews, and pay attention to people's descriptions of comfort and firmness. Some sites give a firmness rating so you know what to expect.

There's also the size to consider. "They also can take up more space with less seating room," Brittany Farinas of House of One said. You'll want to check the seating dimensions versus just the length of the couch when determining how many people can comfortably sit on it. 

It's also important to look at all the curved couch's measurements, not just the width. "They generally have a low back, and it might not be comfortable with someone that is on the taller side," said Patton. Some people may struggle to get out of lower sofas and those with deeper seats.

Will my curved sofa look dated in a few years?

Joyner suggests pairing curved couches with more classic pieces. "If you make the whole room contemporary or if you make everything too trendy, it'll be out of style really fast," she said.

Curved couches aren't actually a new trend, Jimenez said. They're just making a comeback.  

Farinas thinks people shouldn't worry about trends too much, anyway. "If you love a piece and it works great in a room, go for it," she said. "It will be timeless to the space."
