In a world long dominated by straight lines and angular shapes in architecture and interior design, a new trend is emerging with softness and elegance: rounded-edge furniture. Valued for both its calming aesthetic and its functional qualities, this organic approach to furniture design is increasingly embraced by homeowners and professionals seeking warm, contemporary, and unique spaces.
In Paris—where maximizing every square meter is often essential—custom-made furniture is the ideal solution to fully utilize space while meeting high aesthetic standards. Within this context, rounded furniture stands out as a perfect balance of ergonomics, fluidity, and sophistication. More than a stylistic choice, it reflects a broader desire to create interiors that are gentle, organic, and soothing.
At Costaud Rénovation, a high-end renovation company based in Paris, this aesthetic is brought to life through bespoke interior carpentry projects. Thanks to expert craftsmanship and close collaboration with architects and designers, Costaud Rénovation creates refined interiors shaped with precision and artistic sensibility.

Rounded Furniture: A Strong Trend for 2025
The rising popularity of rounded furniture is no coincidence. It reflects a shift in aesthetic and emotional preferences among today’s design-conscious clients. In an era marked by a search for comfort and wellness, curved forms provide a visual and tactile response to our need for serenity.
A Retro Influence Revisited
The return of rounded shapes draws inspiration from various 20th-century artistic and architectural movements, including the 1970s with its enveloping seats and the Art Deco period with its arches and curved ornaments. Today, these vintage influences are being reinterpreted through a more minimalist and functional lens, aligned with contemporary design codes.
Gone are the days of decorative excess; rounded furniture now embodies subtle elegance. A softly curved corner on a bookshelf, an oval kitchen table, or a half-moon wall niche—all add a sense of harmony and warmth without overwhelming the space.
The Psychological Appeal of Curves
Studies in spatial psychology reveal that rounded lines are perceived as gentler and more comforting than angular forms. They evoke nature, continuity, and organic flow. Within a home, they create visual circulation and soften the rigidity of sharp edges. The result is a welcoming, soothing ambiance—ideal for both residential and commercial interiors.
This type of design lends itself equally well to private homes (living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens) and public spaces (cafés, offices, boutiques) where a warm, inviting atmosphere is key.
Custom Built Furniture in Paris: When Curves Become Art
In Paris, where every inch of space is precious, custom-built furniture is often a necessity. But when this bespoke approach is combined with curved design, it becomes a true expression of interior artistry. Choosing organic forms is not merely about following a trend—it’s about creating harmonious, tailored environments that match the space and the client's lifestyle.
A Smart Solution for Small Spaces
Contrary to what one might think, rounded furniture is ideal for small Parisian apartments. Where sharp corners can disrupt the flow or make a room feel cramped, curved lines optimize circulation and create softer transitions between functional zones. A curved bench hugs the wall, a rounded bookcase fits neatly into a niche, a wardrobe with softened edges visually lightens the room.
Seamless Integration into Existing Architecture
Custom furniture allows for precise adaptation to architectural constraints: irregular walls, exposed beams, sloped ceilings. Rounded forms, tailored to the layout, blend naturally into the architecture. Instead of interrupting the visual rhythm, they enhance the space and draw attention to its elegance.
Examples of Custom Rounded Pieces
Curved wall niches in entryways or bathrooms
Rounded kitchen counters, promoting easy movement
Built-in half-moon benches for cozy dining nooks
Soft-edged headboards, in wood or upholstered fabric
Arched bookcases, perfect for stairwells or alcoves
These pieces require technical precision and a level of interior carpentry expertise that only skilled professionals can offer.
