From the beginning, we knew we wanted more curve elements to soften the space while adding visual interest and flow. Practicality-wise curves also increases safety by removing sharp corners that one may accidentally knock into and allows for future kid-proofing.
That said, every curve comes at added cost so we had to be selective and add it where it mattered most.
The biggest headache we had was a structural beam running across our living room ceiling. Our ID creatively softened it by adding curves and cove lighting; We now have a unique ceiling feature that frames our sofa area.
