Just like natural tones are hitting walls, natural shapes are coming to a seating area near you.

Jane Lockhart, founder of Jane Lockhart Design, told Living Etc. that puffy, feather-filled couches with curved, lush forms are hitting showroom floors.

Look for versatile pieces such as daybeds and chaises that bring a casual vibe to a formal space. Choose a design that’s sophisticated and adds warmth and charm. Asymmetry will help give the piece some whimsy and is a nod to natural shapes.

For the awkward or small space, consider a sectional or L-shaped sofa that gives plenty of lounging room and can be bookended with tables for storage. “The textural scale alone begs for relaxation and invites intimate conversation,” says Regan Baker of Regan Baker Design. “With a few cozy blankets and pillows galore, it’s a perfect timeless backdrop for personalization.”

Fluted or tufted sofas can add soft structure to a space. The soft forms are simple yet tidy and can keep the furniture looking great even in busy homes with kids, pets and other furniture-destroying creatures. A Chesterfield sofa, with its high arms and tufted upholstery, is a timeless piece that works well with this trend.

Curved sofas are once again having a moment. The right piece can fill up a corner or awkward space and make more room for entertaining or other pieces. Many modern curvaceous couches have a distinctly mid-century feel that has appeal for homeowners who lean into that aesthetic.

Shelf-end sofas are great solutions for a small space that give the space a sleek, modern look. It eliminates the need for another piece of furniture, making it an appealing choice for the apartment dweller. Look for these sleek pieces with natural finishes and contrasting warm, textured fabrics.

Cover these sofas in punchy, statement-making color. Deep blue is a popular choice, as is charcoal gray and moss green. Interior designer Jonathan Adler told Living Etc. that he’s most excited about pairing the natural feel of rattan with couture details such as high-gloss lacquer and flashes of color.

“It’s laissez-faire fabulousness, with a hint of pop!”
