Curved sofas are a big design trend, bringing a softer edge to modern living spaces, that can sometimes lack character.
There are a multitude of flowing shapes to choose too. From dramatic asymmetric silhouettes with Art Deco influences to low-floating designs with louche, mid-century vibes, this is no 'one-shape fits all' look.
As with most sofas, upholstery options vary, veering from plush velvet and nubby bouclé to leather and high-performance fabrics. So there are options for sophisticated spaces, as well as family homes.
We've divided the best couches into different styles so you can easily shop the best home decor brands for your favorites.

Why use a curved sofa?
Livingetc knows design.
Curved sofas are a huge design trend, they soften a space with their sinuous flowing lines and create visual interest.
'The primary reason to choose a curved sofa is aesthetics,' says Heather Goerzen, design director at online interiors studio, Havenly. 'Curved sofas bring a trending retro-inspired look to any living scene, adding some interesting visual contrast in form and silhouette.
'That said, they also can be a benefit when you have a tricky layout or oddly shaped room, allowing you to take advantage of corners and asymmetry in new and interesting ways to create better flow in a space.'
