Roundness in some form or other – squashy forms, arched shapes or oversized elements – having been coming to a home near you for quite a while, a trend that’s so far dominated furniture design, decorating and accessories.
Now the heart of the home is getting involved, with the kitchen’s classical ‘hard’ surfaces taking a softer, curvier turn as the space’s design incorporates its new role as a place of calm, and a place to socialize.
The contrast between a rounded kitchen surface and the traditional hard right angle is dramatic - it totally transforms your modern kitchen ideas. A curved edge invites you to run a hand along it, while a 90-degree angle hints at the potential to bump into it. There’s enough pressure in the kitchen without having to worry about the bruises you might have tomorrow.
