The “Pill”-Shaped Decor Trend Is the Dose of Style Every Home Needs
Chances are that by now, you’re familiar with one of the 2020s’ most popular design silhouettes: the curvy couch. I’ve been noticing lately that couches aren’t the only ones getting the rounded treatment, however — pill-shaped decor is popping up everywhere these days. From benches and coffee tables to lighting and pillows, we’re calling it: This shape is about to be all over your feed, if it isn’t already.
Curved silhouettes have been on the rise in the design world for much of the last five years, and I’m only loving them more. I think rounded furniture is a direct response to the harsh lines of minimalism and modernism: Softer edges create a soothing and cozy vibe. They feel safer somehow than sharper lines — think a warm hug vs. the threat of a stubbed toe. I’ll take the hug, thanks!
The rise of the pill shape is the natural next step in the evolution of curvy furniture. While I still love the curvy couch trend, it’s fun to see this soothing shape popping up more and more in other furniture and decor. Check out some of my personal favorite pill-shaped pieces below.
