Curves are everywhere right now. If you’re loving the soft, sculpted aesthetic of curves in interior design, then keep reading as we share the design insights behind our curve-a-licious Aegean 430-D46VE in Riverfield estate, Clyde.
If it’s curves you’re looking for, then this masterpiece display home is a must-see. From the breathtaking Monroe façade and architectural features, to the fixtures, furniture and styling; curves have earned their place in this contemporary home, creating a luxurious, relaxed atmosphere, and striking aesthetic value. The Aegean 430-D46VE shows just how impactful curves can be when they are repeated and layered with purpose across both the interior and exterior of a home.
Why curves are proving so popular
“Curves are back in a big way, and it’s a look we think will stick around. They give a home a softer, more organic feel and they work beautifully across a range of styles and schemes,” says Nina Tophoven, senior interior designer at Henley Properties Group.
There has been a noticeable shift away from well-defined, angular interiors, towards homes that feel more relaxed and organic. Curves help create that mood. They can make large spaces feel warm and intimate, compact areas feel more open; and bring a decorative edge to an otherwise straight edge space.
“In a family home, where there are often strong lines created by walls, cabinetry and openings, curved forms help break up the boxiness and introduce a more natural flow. They also create moments of softness in spaces that could otherwise feel hard or overly formal,” says Nina.
Embracing curves on the exterior
For a soft, flowing and minimalist exterior where curves take centre stage, the Monroe façade is an obvious choice. With its expansive windows, round sweeping lines and timber detailing, it makes an immediate statement from the street.
The Monroe façade - and the curve trend more broadly - works best in a light and bright coastal colour palette; with crisp white render, light oak timber and pale brickwork. A pop of pastel colour can work well to begin telling the interior design story of your home, before you even step inside.
The sculptural street presence of the Monroe façade has made it a favourite amongst our design team, and since being released as a double storey option, this curvaceous design has become available on single storey homes too.
Keeping the curves flowing inside
Inside, the language of curves unfolds layer by layer. In this home, curves are embedded in the architecture itself; not just a styling effect. In the living room, the TV space becomes an eye-catching feature wall, with curved plaster detail adding depth, visual interest and a premium finish.
The joinery throughout continues the theme of built-in curves. In the kitchen, the contoured edge of the island bench turns it into a sculptural anchor that feels welcome and refined. The softness continues at eye level through curved overhead cabinetry, a gooseneck sink mixer and frosted pendant lights. In the ensuites we see similar design choices, such as a curved vanity, arch mirrors, oblong decor tiles and rounded features including the bathtub, tapware and basins.
“The Aegean kitchen is a really beautiful example of how curves work best when there is repetition. You see it in the island and then again in the overheads, and that is what helps the space flow so nicely,” says Nina.
The art of curves is in the finishing touches
In our design showroom, we can work with you to personalise a curved interior that us as bold or as subtle as you like, while keeping the overall scheme cohesive.
Once curves have been built into your home through architectural features and product selections, it’s over to you to complement the organic, flowing feeling of your home with furniture, artwork and accessories that complete the picture.
In the Aegean at Clyde, our designers have sourced statement curved sofas for the ground floor living spaces, a round dining setting including a circular rug, bedheads with soft, sweeping lines and storage units with curved edges. Organic, sculpted décor adds the finish touches that truly commit to the curve aesthetic and guarantee a fluid, elegant and highly considered result.
Our design team recommends exploring brands such as GlobeWest and RJ Living for curved furniture and homewares, along with The Foundry for organic-shaped vases and decorative pieces.
Landscaping that brings the curve story full circle
At the Aegean display home, curves extend beyond the home to the landscaping. Curved garden beds, rounded planters and soft lawn edges carry that same sense of flow and relaxation into the landscape, making the exterior feel inviting and resolved. Rather than sitting apart from the home, the landscaping reinforces the overall design language and helps create a gentle, more cohesive feel.
“Landscape design is increasingly embracing softer, more organic forms - with curves replacing rigid straight lines to create a relaxed and inviting feel,” says Cameron Fordred, our national landscape designer.
“Curved garden beds allow for deeper planting zones, giving you the opportunity to layer trees, shrubs and groundcovers for a richer, more textured landscape. Round planters and pots add character and visual softness, while curved pathways and flowing lawn areas introduce movement and interest, guiding the eye naturally through the space,” he says.
