Embracing the Curve: How to Equip Your Home with OFCASA's Curved Armchairs

It's the year of the curve in home décor in the UK, and for several good reasons. Curves soften hard edges, create visual balance, and make living space feel warm and stylish.

At Ofcasa, our line-up of curved armchairs brings elegance, comfort, and a dash of modern flair to any space. Whether you are revamping a small living room or adding personality to a minimalist space, here's how to style your home with curved furniture.

Keep reading, and you will know why it's the perfect choice for UK homes.

What Is a Rounded-Back Chair Called?

A chair with a curved back and armrests is often called a curved armchair, or simply an accent chair.

Curved chairs are defined by their smooth, sinuous curves that combine ergonomic comfort with avant-garde styling. Unlike rigid, boxy chairs, curved chairs present the appearance of movement and warmth.

Accent chairs are getting especially popular in the UK. Many home décor enthusiasts are using accent chairs to decorate not only the living rooms, but also their dining rooms, pairing these curved armchairs with their dining tables.

Lounge Chair vs. Accent Chair: What's the Difference?

Both accent chairs and lounge chairs are made for comfort, but they have different purposes.

Lounge chairs are made to unwind, with reclining backs, padded seats, and long footrests. They are your favourite place to kick back. They are wonderful to curl up in with a book or use as a focal point in your living room.

Accent chairs, on the other hand, are a combination of form and function. They are compact, smaller, and made to fit your existing arrangement and bring in a bit of character.

Curved armchairs offer the ideal compromise—they are functional enough to use daily but stylish enough to revolutionize your room.

How to Style OFCASA's Curved Armchairs in Your UK Home?

1. Pair with a Grey Couch for Timeless Contrast

A grey sofa is a UK home staple because it's so neutral it goes with practically anything. For a set that harmonizes, pick an accent chair in bright but soothing colours like terracotta, pale orange, or blue. They bring warmth and contrast without battling other colours.

Pro tip: For a monochromatic colour scheme, opt for a curved armchair in a darker grey tone or textured fabric (i.e., velvet) to create subtle depth.

2. Make Small Living Rooms Appear Larger

British houses are compact in size, but often not in style. Curved armchairs for living rooms are the intelligent solutions to smaller homes. Their rounded shape takes up less visual space than bulky square chairs, creating a sense of more room.

Tuck your chair at an angle in the corner for better flow.

3. Add Mid-Century Modern Charm

Mid-century modern armchair are timeless in the UK, and curved furniture pieces are a timeless part of the look. Leather fabric, glossy look, and an angular silhouette. It's all part of the contemporary fashion and comfortable experience, two-in-one.

4. Create a Cozy Reading Nook

Armchairs with a curved shape are perfect for a reading nook. Top the look with a floor lamp, a side coffee table, and a chunky knit throw. For maximum comfort, go for an armchair with an ergonomic back that will support your posture during those lengthy reading marathons.

5. Mix Textures for Depth

Velvet curved armchairs embody UK style luxury and comfort sensation. Put a velvet armchair alongside a leather sofa or a rattan coffee table to balance out the texture. It introduces texture and keeps the room from becoming too formal.

What Accent Chairs Go with a Grey Couch?

A grey sofa is a blank canvas—here's how to make your curved armchair stand out beside it:

  1. Bold Colors: Sapphire blue, terracotta, or mustard yellow chair offers saturated contrast.
  2. Metallic Accents: Brass or gold accents on a curved armchair offer understated glamour.
  3. Soft Neutrals: Cream, beige, or blush pink chairs offer a calming, layered look.
  4. Patterns: A striped or floral fabric offers playful flair.
