Oscar winner Robert Downey Jr might be better known for his role as Tony Stark in Iron Man, but his home is a far cry from the modernized 'Stark Mansion' in Malibu. His real home, designed by Nicolò Bini, is an aerodynamic, environmentally conscious hobbit-style house, crafted to comfort rather than shock. A serene, tranquil space, the actor's home embraces one of my favorite living room furniture trends to date – curves in interior design.
With today's emphasis on the home as an inviting family space, used for socializing and relaxing, regimented rows, straight lines and clinical design can look a little stark (excuse the pun) and cold. Therefore, using curved lines within a home offers a wealth of benefits, including the potential to add flow and dynamism. Full-on voluptuous or gently rounded, curves will lift a living room layout and soften the overall look of your room, adding a bold design focus or a subtle touch of shaping to your décor. A design trick that Robert Downey Jr has mastered in his family living room.
