Oblique shapes in design. An interior inspired by nature

We like to surround ourselves with cosiness, take solace in the space around us and create interiors inspired by nature. Soft lines, rounded furniture and accessories bring harmony and a sense of security to interiors. By replacing sharp edges with soft shapes, a calm and warm atmosphere can be created in the home.

Thanks to their versatility and diversity, soft curves fit perfectly into any style and inspire interior designers. However, before we decide to introduce them into our interiors, it is worth learning more about their advantages, uses and how they influence the perception of a space.

ROUND SHAPES - AN INTERIOR IDEA INSPIRED BY NATURE

The further we move away from the natural rhythm of life, the stronger the need to return to our roots and to surroundings that offer respite. Urbanisation and the fast pace of everyday life mean that we are increasingly looking for peace and quiet surrounded by nature - also in our own home. The organic style allows us to be closer to nature and to unite with it.

Natural materials, nature motifs, furniture and other furnishings with soft, nature-inspired shapes make a space feel more welcoming and cosy. There are no sharp edges here - instead, smooth, gentle lines dominate, bringing a lightness and natural character to the interior design.

CURVED FURNITURE - HOW DOES IT CHANGE THE CHARACTER OF A SPACE?

Rounded furniture shapes create a feeling of cosiness and tranquillity and have a calming effect on the senses. In contrast to sharp-angled shapes, they soften the perception of space, which has a positive effect on mood and promotes relaxation. The simplicity of their design will appeal not only to nature lovers.

Softly shaped furniture works well in every room. Starting with the bedroom, where we are particularly keen to introduce natural accents. A great piece of furniture for relaxation is the Omm bed. Its rounded shape makes the bedroom elegant and cosy at the same time.

The Lou lamp with its rounded lines is also ideal for creating harmony with the senses. To make the space feel even cosier, place a cotton bedspread on the bed and a fleecy rug on the floor to provide warmth underfoot and increase the feeling of comfort.

In the dining room, opt for the Konso round table, which will provide comfort and convenience for all seated and at the same time will not take up too much space. Upholstered chairs, such as Onest or Nolto, will look great at its side. They will not only emphasise the elegant, yet cosy character of the arrangement, but also complement the whole with their soft lines and friendly form.

Interiors are made up of details. When choosing furniture with organic shapes, don't forget about the finishing touches - even the legs or handles count. Their friendly, ergonomic form can beautifully complement the design of a room.

EDGINESS AND SOFTNESS IN UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE

Thanks to soft roundness, even larger lounge furniture such as armchairs, sofas or corner sofas look subtle and do not overwhelm the space. The rounded form of the Nui sofa will bring a cosy, relaxing atmosphere to the living room. Its backrest integrated with armrests delights not only for its aesthetics, but also for its comfort and functionality. To accentuate the style of the interior even more, it is worth placing the Talvo coffee table with its organic form next to the sofa.

With edgy furniture, the choice of upholstery fabric is particularly important, as it can completely transform the way we perceive its shape. It is a bit like matching an outfit to one's personality. Soft-touch, natural materials in earthy colours accentuate rounded forms. They make a piece of furniture seem almost inviting to the touch and give its curves depth and warmth. In contrast to cool, rigid fabrics, the natural textures intensify the soft effect.

ORGANIC SHAPES ON WALLS AND IN DECORATIONS

Natural furnishings also include accessories with organic shapes. With their help, we can easily introduce dynamics into the interior, which refers to the rhythm of nature. The Bosa mirror with its irregular, wavy contours should be combined with ceramic vases resembling forms found in nature, such as the Aura or Eclipse models. Graphics inspired by plants, on the other hand, will look beautiful on the walls - all together will create a composition full of harmony and lightness.

Delicate curves can appear in interior design not only as details, but also on the walls as a whole. Wave or Oval wall panels, upholstered panels with curved forms or curved wall shelves that promote effective organisation will look great. These types of accents complement nature-inspired arrangements perfectly.

COMBINING CURVED SHAPES AS THE KEY TO A COSY SPACE

Curved shapes are not just a trend - they are a way of creating interiors that you simply want to be in. When soft lines of furniture meet softly rounded accessories and walls take on flowing, irregular forms, the space takes on a natural rhythm and creates a unified whole.

Before deciding on other furnishings, it is worth making sure that they go well together. They don't necessarily have to come from the same collection - it is enough if they relate to each other in colour or are put together as a clever contrast. The key is sense and harmony.
