Choosing Curved Sofas for a Studio Flat

A curved sofa can be one of the most useful pieces in a studio flat, because its rounded shape gently divides the living area from the sleeping or kitchen zone without blocking light or sightlines. Unlike a straight sofa pushed against the wall, a curve can float in the room, guide the way you move around it and soften a space that is often full of hard edges and right angles. Curved sofas use floor differently, so careful measuring matters. In this guide we explain how to judge the right size for a compact UK studio, where to place a curved sofa for the best flow, and which back heights, arm styles and fabrics suit open plan living. We also look at what to pair it with, from round rugs and nesting tables to slim shelving that doubles as a room divider, so the whole flat feels calm, organised and comfortable to live in every day....
