Quirky Curves Take Centre Stage at 2XL Furniture & Home Décor

Curves are in this year at 2XL Furniture & Home Décor with rounded tables, half-moon sofas, spherical chairs and ball-shaped accessories. Whether you are setting up a new home or redesigning your current living room, curvaceous items can add a touch of softness to a room by disrupting a geometric layout.

According to interior design experts when a room has a mix of straight and curvy elements the result is far more appealing. Amit Yadav, Head of Marketing at 2XL, commented, “Shape and silhouette are always major considerations when designing an interior. Limited space challenges you to think beyond seating conventions. Curved furniture looks cozy, sensuous and inviting, and occupies less space. It is also easier for conversation bringing people together. At 2XL Furniture & Home Décor we have a wide choice of distinctive and trendy products in fluid shapes that can give any room a contemporary look.”
