Hi Hi, I'm Jake Woods, a lighting designer at Residence Supply. I've been watching the curved silhouette trend closely because it changes how kitchens need to be lit, so I spend a lot of time thinking about why these shapes work and what they demand from the rest of the room. What Chrissy Teigen and Jake Arnold did in that Beverly Hills kitchen is a good example of how curves create visual agreement across a space. The island and the extractor hood share the same rounded language, so your eye moves between them naturally. That repetition of form is what keeps the kitchen from feeling like a collection of separate decisions. When two anchor pieces echo each other, the room settles. From a lighting standpoint, curves are harder to work with than straight lines, and that difficulty is actually why they look so considered when they are done well. A curved island does not have a predictable edge for pendant placement. A curved hood changes how light spills down onto the work surface. You have to think more carefully about where the light lands and what shadows get created. When the lighting responds to those shapes correctly, the whole space feels intentional rather than assembled. The broader appeal of curves in kitchen design right now comes down to softness. For a long time kitchens leaned into hard geometry, sharp cabinetry lines, and crisp white surfaces. That works functionally but it does not always feel livable. Rounded forms are a way of bringing some of the comfort you expect from a living room into a space that is traditionally more utilitarian. The material palette in Teigen's kitchen reinforces this. The stone cladding, the plaster hood, the warm brass details — none of it is asking you to feel like you are in a laboratory. What I find interesting is how the curved trend holds together with the move toward tonal, material-driven kitchens. When you commit to one material across the island, countertops, and hood, the curves read as sculptural rather than decorative. The shape becomes the feature, not a finish applied on top of something else. Regards Jake Woods
You know those curved kitchens you see in Chrissy Teigen's house? They actually work. In my renovations, I've found curves make spaces feel more connected and less like a box. They just guide you from one area to the next. Light stone or wood plays nice with everything. If you're thinking about a remodel, just start with a curved island. My clients always say it makes moving around easier and just looks great. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to my personal email
I've noticed curved kitchens sell better. Buyers seem to love them because they feel more welcoming than all those boxy layouts. We once added a curved island with a color scheme like Chrissy Teigen's, and it completely changed how people moved through the space. If you're updating your kitchen, seriously consider adding some curves. It makes the room look better and helps it sell for more.

Seeing the curved elements in Chrissy Teigen's kitchen reminds me of Japanese design. Rounded forms just feel calming. In my work with Japantastic, soft shapes and earthy colors always make a space feel more comfortable. If my clients want a more peaceful kitchen, I suggest curved islands or light fixtures and keeping the colors muted. It's not just a trend, it actually makes the kitchen a more relaxed spot.

Chrissy Teigen's rounded island really changes the whole feeling. It's less sterile and functional, more like a place you actually want to hang out. I've seen clients choose curved cabinets or hoods, and it always makes the kitchen feel more inviting. In our showroom, people love pairing those soft shapes with natural stone. It just calms the whole vibe down. If you want to update your space, try adding some curves with tactile materials. It looks good and still works.

Curves in a kitchen, like the island in Teigen's place, break up that boxy feel and make the space seem more relaxed. It's not some magic cure, but buyers who want something classic yet a bit special really go for it. Smooth woods and neutral colors let the curves stand out even more. I always tell my clients that even a little bit of curvature can make a whole kitchen feel updated. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to my personal email
