Curves have always lived in the world of design but they’ve been much more prevalent in recent times. While many name it a trend, we think curves always have a place in design, offering rounded corners, organic shapes, and soft silhouettes. In an architectural world full of hard angles and straight lines, embrace the softness and whimsy that curves bring to an environment. You can add subtle curves or bold waves, either way you can’t go wrong with the look. As June comes to a close, we’re adventuring back to see all the curvy design we featured this month. Hit play on our latest Spotify playlist of Good Times Jams, and enjoy all the curve appeal.
