Designers say this feature in Kendall Jenner's living space will 'take center stage' in 2024
The model's LA home radiates tranquility – starting with a curvaceous silhouette that's set to dominate trends for future seasons
As one of the world's highest-paid supermodels, a demanding, global schedule is an inevitable part of Kendall Jenner's job. But that makes it all the more important that her home is a therapeutic escape from reality, and this begins with her soothing color and furniture choices.
While every space (designed by Kathleen and Tommy Clements and the esteemed Waldo Fernandez) upholds this ideology, no room is quite as peaceful as the sitting room (adjoined to her bedroom), seen below.
Here, Kendall is seen on a curved white sofa – a furnishing that has already impressed designers throughout 2023 – but when it comes to sofa trends for 2024, this shape shows no signs of wavering.

'Curves were hugely popular this year, and we don’t see them slowing down. Organic shapes and soft silhouettes will continue to take center stage in 2024,' say Amit Malhotra and Sara Ripamonti, founders of Aflux Designs.
A curved sofa is an inevitable starting point, especially in a soothing, neutral hue like Kendall's. However, Amit and Sara explain there are more ways to get ahead of this increasingly popular design trend.
Amit Malhotra and Sara Ripamonti, founders of the interior and architectural studio Aflux Designs, based in London. The duo has over 17 years of combined experience in interior design and the house renovation business – delivering many different projects that vary in size, style, and budget.
'Curves can be incorporated in all manner of ways, from furniture and lighting to architectural elements – they add a sense of fluidity and elegance to any space,' Amit and Sara explain. 'Rounded sofas, circular tables, and arched doorways are just a few ways this trend can transform your home into a haven of comfort and sophistication.'
With curves set to continue shaping interiors for more seasons ahead, we can rest assured that this Kendall-inspired furnishing is worth the investment. But which color will similarly stand the test of time? New York-based designer Artem Kropovinsky recommends following the model's lead and staying neutral.

'Beige or cream curved sofas are an excellent choice for all decor schemes. They can be easily adapted to match the setting and are timeless in style' Artem says.
Based in New York, Artem Kropovinsky, founder of Arsight, has a decade of extensive and considerable global design experience. Prioritizing minimalism, sustainability, and authenticity, Artem, alongside his team of professionals, works on projects in the US and worldwide.
Whatever color we decide, however, Artem adds that these sofas have their practical benefits, too.
'Kidney bean-shaped sofas are an effective solution to add seating in a compact space. They can be situated in a corner or against a wall, still providing ample seating for guests,' he comments. 'Kidney bean-shaped sofas are an excellent means to establish a conversational space in your living room. They can be arranged in a U-shape or circle, offering a cozy gathering spot for friendly chats.'
We're tapping our way into Kendall's sitting room by recreating the look at home, starting with our three favorite curved sofas.
Created by esteemed designer Leanne Ford, this curved sofa is the perfect 'kidney bean' shape that brings comfort and tranquility to a spae. Striking for its sculptural curves, the piece offers a seat that finds a balance between formal and lounge-friendly.
