There’s nothing stagnant about curves, and as of late, fluid furniture and home decor have grown in popularity. A favorite of acclaimed author and interior designer Jeremiah Brent, this latest design trend highlights the natural flow of a space and adds an organic element.
Wavy decor pairs well with Brent’s neutral, relaxed style—and there is something so playful about it. Here is some design inspiration that aims to redefine modern interiors from the trendsetter himself.
End Tables
The waves on this table are short, uniform, and simple enough not to detract from the wood grain. Brent incorporated these tables into the restaurant Juliet, where he brings the Modern Parisian aesthetic to life in Los Angeles. Score this look for less by thrifting vintage end tables with a scalloped bottom.
Outdoor Furniture
Fluid lines and metallic detailing come together in Brent’s custom outdoor furniture line inspired by antique ironwork. This collection is described as classic and modern; the materials are a throwback, and the spheres and waves add a sleek, forward-thinking design perfect for casual living.
Natural Textures
The resurgence of wavy designs pushes for a movement toward softer, more organic interiors. Brent has incorporated curves on everything from hardware on a fridge to ladders for bunk beds—but you don’t need furniture or decor to incorporate this trend. Certain marble countertops, walls, and floors introduce the most natural wave.
Decorative Mirrors
This modern piece from Brent has a smooth texture and immediately draws attention to its whimsical scalloped edge. The bold, heavy frame pairs well with its sleek console and limestone walls. Properly anchor your mirror to the wall, and your room will transform into a moving masterpiece.
Nature-Inspired Lamp
Many curves are infused into the home depicted in this Instagram post, but the waves from the tree-shaped light fixture steal the show. The movement of this lamp adds an eclectic focal point in an otherwise neutral space. Nature-inspired elements in the home are usually curved and not uniform, so don’t be afraid to bring the outdoors in when decorating.
Bedroom Sconces
Pinstripe walls and bedding blend in this bedroom titled “The Space That Keeps You.” Offset by a modern, wavy sconce with an unexpected wicker lampshade, the otherwise stagnant patterns in the room begin to move. Consider light fixtures that are flexible and bendable so you can direct the fluidity in the room.
