Whether it’s architectural features such as sweeping walls, arched doorways, or spiral staircases, or subtler curves in rounded island benches or circular skylights, curves have long been considered timeless elements of home design.
Here are five of our favourite luxury homes for sale right now, designed with curves.
20 Ethel Street, Malvern, VIC
With a curved exterior featuring both ground- and upper-storey arched windows and a grand double-door entrance, this Malvern home was designed and built by GIA Renovations, a boutique design-and-build specialist.
The curves continue inside the home through archways, curved walls, doors, island benches, lighting fixtures, fireplaces, and a curved staircase.
The property incorporates artisan plaster, Fascino honed marble, high-end appliances and fixtures, and, outdoors, a heated inground pool and an infrared sauna.
63 Cremorne Road, Cremorne Point, NSW
Set on an elevated site in a tightly held harbourside enclave, this luxury home is full of character and curves.

27 Chingford Street, Fairfield, VIC
No, it’s not the Mediterranean, but the design of this Fairfield home sure makes you feel like it is.
A custom design by Toak Projects uses curves and angles to create a luxurious, light-filled, and functional home.
The façade sets the tone, with arched windows and doorways and round stepping stones that welcome you to the front entrance.
Inside, the kitchen features curved skylights, shelving, and island benchtops, while the rest of the home is linked by arched doorways and curved walls, including a hallway with a series of large arched windows overlooking the outdoor pool.
A highlight is the master bedroom en suite, which has not only a skylit shower but also a complete steam room.
7 Thomas Street, Camp Hill, QLD
Through the curved front facade, showstopping 6.8-metre entry and 3.2-metre front door, you will find soaring ceilings and Travertine curved feature walls that leave an impression.
The brand-new five-bedroom home by Luxuria Homes incorporates curves throughout the interior, with a curved stone kitchen island bench, custom cabinetry, and a feature light that also embraces rounded edges.
The bathrooms feature curved wall tiling, circular basins, and oval mirrors.
Outside, there is an al fresco area with statement arches featuring a drop-down projector to make the most of indoor-outdoor entertaining.
11/2 Kings Lane, Darlinghurst, NSW
This warehouse apartment/home office, part of the 2 Kings Lane development, was designed by Engelen Moore Architects.
The curved complex, with a distinctive trio of arches on the façade, fronts both Crown and Liverpool Streets, and the apartment property, one of only eleven, is accessed via the heritage Oxford Foundry laneway entrance.
Inside, polished concrete floors, large open space and curved windows create a warehouse vibe.
With access to the refurbished roof terrace and 25-metre lap pool, and dual parking, this apartment ticks a lot of boxes.
