Curves are a pleasing shape in the home – the soft curve of an arm rest or a chair, the curve of bent wood or even the walls of a certain room. Curved sofas appear welcoming and cozy. They are graceful and charming or modern and hip. If you have a living room that is challenging to arrange or you just want something different, a curved sofa may be just right.
