CURVED VS STRAIGHT FURNITURE: HOW TO BALANCE BOTH
المنحنى والخط المستقيم
QUICK ANSWER
Two curves per room: one large (sofa, arched joinery, round rug) and one small (mirror, side table). Keep everything else rectilinear so the curve registers.
WHY ONE ARC CALMS A ROOM
Homes are built from right angles: walls, windows, doors, wardrobes. Any curve therefore reads instantly as a decision. Round mirrors, oval tables and arced sofas soften the geometry and make movement easier in tight plans.
WHERE TO SPEND THE CURVE
Repeat curves too often and the room turns into a trend that dates fast. A curve reads as generosity because it costs floor area — so give it to the piece people touch first: the seat, not the shelf.
