Some design movements come and go but others have a timeless quality that keeps them firmly in the spotlight. One of those enduring trends is curved plasterwork a design element that continues to inspire architects designers and homeowners alike. From subtle ceiling details to bold architectural features curves bring a softness and flow to spaces that straight lines simply can’t achieve.
At Allplasta we’ve seen this first hand. In recent years our team has noticed a significant rise in custom curved projects with clients looking to incorporate sweeping arches rounded staircases sculptural walls and even curved skylight details into their homes and developments. The appeal is universal curves have a way of making spaces feel more organic modern and inviting all at once.
Why Curves Work So Well
Curved plasterwork is more than just a visual statement it’s about how a space makes you feel. While sharp angles and straight edges have their place curves soften interiors creating a sense of movement and calmness. A curved wall can guide you naturally through a home while a plaster arch can frame a view or doorway with elegance.
Ceiling to wall curves are particularly popular right now creating a seamless transition that feels sculptural yet subtle. Similarly curved staircases curved cornices and rounded skylights can turn functional elements into breathtaking focal points. These are the details that elevate a home from well designed to unforgettable.

The Enduring Love for Archways
If there's one feature that proves curves are here to stay it's an archway. Once considered strictly traditonal, archways are now being reimagined in fresh modern ways— wide, clean and minimal. They bring a touch of nostalgia while still feeling ahead of the curve... literally. We supply a diverse range of archways from Colonial and Victorian to Federation and Art Deco. View our range here.
