What is wavy decor?
Wavy decor is a variation of organic decoration: asymmetrical, rounded shapes inspired by waves, in natural tones or pop shades.
Have you never heard of this decor trend? Let us take a look at this inspiration which, for some time now, has been making waves in the design world.
The wavy style (or "undulating" style) is not only popular in the world of hairdressing. Designers have also captured the delicate shapes of the oceans to create furniture and accessories with harmonious curves.
This inspiration is part of the organic decoration trend: a style that translates into asymmetrical, rounded shapes inspired by nature, and that brings a lot of softness to our interiors.
Wavy decor can be adopted in small touches, but also by combining pieces with irregular shapes, to create a certain harmony and serenity. As for colours, it comes in natural tones, such as earth or nude tones, as well as in pop shades.
Whether you opt for the discreet version or the more showy one, know that the wavy style knows how to delicately display its curves in every interior.
Wavy curves for my furniture
Bean sofa, wavy coffee table, wave-shaped headboard and bedside table: key pieces with an organic design, for the living room as for the bedroom.
To reproduce this soft atmosphere inspired by waves, nothing beats key pieces with an organic design.
A bean sofa and a wavy coffee table for the living room
In the living room, fall for the rounded curves of a bean-shaped sofa. Elegant and so comfortable, it will soften the atmosphere with its delicate and comforting lines. You can add colour by placing a few wave-pattern cushions on it.


Another must-have of the main room: the coffee table. Here again, designers have reimagined this furniture in a wavy look that we love. Farewell to angles, we make way for beautiful undulations to complete the decor of your living room. A table with a wave-shaped base or a table with an asymmetrical top: to each their own style!


A wavy headboard for the bedroom
After the living area, it is the bedroom's turn to be swept away by this decor wave. The organic wavy shape will create an enveloping and cosy atmosphere in your rest area, which you will not want to leave. To do this, invite the ocean into your bedroom through a pretty headboard with a wavy and delicate shape. To make even more waves, capsize for a wavy glass side table, all undulation, as a bedside table.


Decorative accessories inspired by the movement of the ocean
Rug, asymmetrical mirrors, Seaside tide clock, gallery wall, tableware, candle holders and vases: the wavy accessories that spread softness.
To complete your marine decoration with finesse, we have found a few decorative gems in an organic style, to enthrone in your interior.
A wavy rug
Decorative accessories are now adorned with beautiful curves to spread softness in every corner of the house. The rug, essential in interior decoration, is no exception and displays a most modern wavy look, to warm up any room with style.

Mirrors, a tide clock and a gallery wall
As for the walls, they too travel to the foot of the waves thanks to an original seaside wall decor. Mirrors are redesigned with asymmetrical shapes. As well as enlarging the space, they become real decorative objects where imperfection and harmony meet.

To colour your walls in a wavy and delicate spirit, opt for the Seaside tide clock and its graphic representation of the seaside. Its wavy lines and pretty colour gradient will give your walls cachet.

Another tip: wake up your interior by creating a gallery wall, still as trendy. Prefer coloured posters with abstract shapes, to echo the curves of your ocean-inspired decor.
Tableware, candle holders and vases
After enhancing your walls, it is time to move on to the little details that will make all the difference. Always keep in mind the sinuous lines of wavy style when choosing the elements that will complete your decoration.
In the kitchen, set aside your ordinary plates and add colour and delicate lines with tableware that will immerse your guests in your nautical and poetic world.
To be placed on a table, a sideboard or a desk, vases and candle holders are decorative objects to include to assert your style. For a delicate seaside decoration, fall for wavy and coloured candle holders, which will create a cocooning and soothing atmosphere.

As for vases, dare to mix sizes and colours! Asymmetrical shape or wave pattern, let the wavy spirit break over your whole interior.
