The shape of your sofa can transform the way your living room feels and functions. And right now, it’s the curved modular sofa that’s leading the charge—not just for its visual impact, but for its sheer adaptability.
What Makes the Curved Modular Sofa a Standout?
The appeal of the curved modular sofa isn’t just about its smooth, flowing form. Unlike traditional sofas, which stick to straight lines and rigid angles, a curved option softens a room’s visual edges. It also promotes a more sociable layout—ideal for open-plan living where the flow of conversation matters.
Modular by design, these sofas can be reconfigured to suit different room sizes and layouts, making them a smart choice if you’re after something that will grow with your needs. Whether you're planning a full room overhaul or looking for one standout piece to shift the vibe, this sofa style delivers on flexibility and comfort.
Maximising Your Space with Modular Curves
We often think modular furniture is best suited to tight or unconventional spaces, but the curved modular sofa brings a unique advantage—it creates movement in a space that might otherwise feel boxy. Position it away from the wall to define zones in open living areas, or use its shape to draw attention to a central point, like a fireplace or coffee table.
The absence of hard angles means it also allows for easier foot traffic around the room, which is especially helpful in busy households. If you’re working with a smaller lounge area, choose a compact model with a few well-proportioned pieces. In more generous spaces, a larger layout with added modules can offer luxurious seating for gatherings without overwhelming the room.
Choosing the Right Upholstery and Colour
Neutral tones such as off-white, oatmeal, and grey are enduring choices for a curved modular sofa, providing a quiet backdrop for layers of texture. But don’t shy away from deeper hues like forest green or charcoal if your room can handle a bit of mood. These tones add depth without dominating.
Bouclé, linen-blend, or soft woven fabrics work especially well on curved designs, as their tactile finish complements the rounded shape. Always consider the light in your room—natural daylight will amplify lighter tones, while moodier colours tend to suit rooms with ambient or layered lighting.
Complementing Furniture and Layout Ideas
To make the most of your sofa's impact, keep the surrounding furniture low and unfussy. A circular or oval coffee table can echo the sofa’s lines without competing for attention. Floor lamps and arched lighting fixtures are natural companions here—they mirror the sofa’s curve and balance the space.
Side tables with slender legs help maintain an open look, while wall-mounted shelving keeps things visually light. Rugs should either follow the shape of the sofa or contrast gently to define the area.
Is It Just a Trend?
There’s no denying the curved modular sofa is having a moment. But this is more than just a passing trend. Its shape nods to mid-century influences while feeling right at home in today’s relaxed, liveable interiors. The modular aspect adds longevity—if your needs change, your sofa can change with you.
Opting for a high-quality model from a local maker like MOMU means it’s built to last, and made for Australian living. You're not just choosing a style statement, you're investing in function, comfort, and adaptability.
The Curved Modular Sofa Designs That Are Shaping the Future of Comfortable Living
Modular sofas have become the modern staple for those who want a living room that adapts to both their lifestyle and personal taste. Among these, the curved modular sofa stands out — not just for its flowing silhouette but also for its capacity to create a warm and cohesive layout in open-plan spaces. MOMU’s Melbourne-made collection showcases the design-led approach with three distinct options: Carmen, Conran, and Austin.
Carmen Modular: Bold Form, Full Comfort
Price: $13,590 (includes Premium Comfort Cushions and MOMU Fabric)

The Carmen Modular is the design choice for those who want their furniture to make an impact. With wide arms and an unapologetically bold structure, it manages to look imposing yet inviting. The Carmen is not only a curved modular sofa — it's the kind of piece that shifts the tone of the room around it.
Handcrafted in Melbourne, this sofa includes Premium Comfort Cushions, ensuring that its structure is matched with support and softness. A 10-year warranty backs MOMU’s build quality, making Carmen a purchase rooted in confidence.
Conran Modular: Versatile and Spacious
Price: $15,450 (includes Premium Comfort Cushions and MOMU Fabric)
Dimensions: L 255 x D 255 x H 80cm
Custom Sizes Available
The Conran Modular caters to versatility. This curved modular sofa expands on the original Conran silhouette, giving you the same comfort but with more room to lounge. Perfect for relaxed conversations or stretching out with a book, it holds its own in both small and larger rooms.
Built with the same attention to detail and quality as the Carmen, the Conran is also made in Melbourne and comes with a full 10-year warranty. It works especially well in multipurpose spaces, adapting from a structured entertaining area to a laid-back zone for family life.
Austin Modular: Curves That Soften and Enrich
Price: $13,950 (includes Premium Comfort Cushions and MOMU Fabric)
Dimensions: L 270 x D 270 x H 84cm
Custom Sizes Available
The Austin Modular sofa leans into soft geometry. A curved back gives it a gentle appearance, while the generous seating allows for full-body relaxation. As a curved modular sofa, it feels less rigid and more in tune with the flow of contemporary homes.
Whether placed against a wall or floating in the centre of a room, the Austin is a refined way to bring comfort without the visual bulk of angular furniture. It too is proudly Melbourne-made, and supported by MOMU’s decade-long warranty.
Why Choose a Curved Modular Sofa?
Curved modular sofas are redefining modern lounge furniture. Unlike traditional straight-lined models, they:

Soften the visual feel of a room
-
Enhance conversation flow with rounded edges
-
Create organic zoning in open-plan areas
They also pair seamlessly with circular rugs, pedestal coffee tables, and sculptural lighting, making them a smart foundation for layered interior styling.
