Anne Hathaway‘s ‘minimalist and cozy’ living room showcases the most desirable furniture trend we hope never goes out of style.
Using curved lines in the living room offers a wealth of benefits, including the potential to add flow and dynamism. Architecture-inspired curves are trending, with soft and rounded lines appearing everywhere.
The living room of American actress Anne Hathaway, in her former New York home, is no exception. According to Homes & Gardens, it was designed by Gramercy Design, a boutique design studio based in New York City. Anne’s minimalist living room embraces this popular furniture trend.
With today’s emphasis on the home as a welcoming family space used for socializing and relaxing, regimented rows, straight lines, and clinical design can feel a bit stiff and cold. That’s why incorporating curves into a home offers many advantages, including enhancing flow and energy.
A voluptuous or softly rounded, curvy design will elevate a living room’s layout and soften the overall appearance of the space, adding a bold design focal point or a subtle sculptural touch to your décor—a design trick Anne Hathaway has mastered in her modern living room, according to Homes & Gardens.
So why are cocooning curves making headlines now? The answer lies in their organic shaping. Curved and cylindrical styles reemerged in the interior design world a few years ago and are thriving this year.
For 2025, living room furniture ideas are leaning more towards biophilic and biomorphic influences, as we crave that indoor-outdoor connection in our homes. “These organic shapes promote a sense of softness and calm,” says Joshua Smith, founder and principal of Joshua Smith Inc.
Biophilic design is based on the theory that humans have an innate connection with nature, and creating built environments that reflect the natural world measurably enhances health and well-being. It follows clear principles, one of which is using natural materials, forms, and colors to heal a space.
Experts at ethical home goods retailer The Citizenry also support this interior design trend, stating that in 2025, nature-inspired spaces will be at the forefront of our décor agendas.
“Homeowners want to create a sense of escapism through landscape-inspired shapes. We expect to see a growing appetite for décor featuring earthy colors, organic forms, and natural textures—especially those rooted in sustainability.”
Anne’s living room is the perfect example of how curves in interior design can support flow and create visual interest. This look works well in both large and small living rooms.
In smaller spaces, curved furniture can help soften the environment and broaden the visual field, while in larger areas, sweeping curves create cozy, welcoming moments.
According to Homes & Gardens, this year’s focus is on rounded shapes that expand space and soften nearly any design.
