Leaning into Arches and Curves

Design Trends in 2023- Leaning into Arches and Curves

At Fratantoni Interior Designers, we do our best to maintain a home’s natural curves during remodels including curved staircases, and arched hallways and entryways. 

One trend we don’t see going away anytime soon is the appeal of arches and curves when they are used correctly in architecture. These subtle details can soften, raise, or enhance a home’s lines and make all the difference in the world. We know this and use it to our advantage in all of our projects. As luxury interior designers, we work with all different home styles and architectural elements. 

 

Arches and Curves

 

One of the most effective ways to make a statement in your home’s interior design and aesthetic is to embrace the natural curvature and arches of your home’s architecture. This is of paramount importance to our team of luxury interior designers who love nothing more than enhancing an already incredible structure and bringing forth the beauty that lies underneath, making it shine once more. It’s our mission to call forth the most beautiful version of your home; whether that’s from a ground-up new build or a home remodel/renovation – we love the challenge and rising to the occasion to meet our clients’ visions while maintaining the structural integrity of the home’s “bones”.

 

Curves and arches can transform a home:

Every so often, we encounter a home with such good bones that we are remiss to completely change them and instead, opt for a renovation that not only embraces the home’s natural curves and arches but enhances them for maximum visual effect. Thus, completely transforming what you see before you, into a liveable piece of art. It’s our passion and what drives our Principal’s and highly skilled interior design team to continue in their craft. 

Everyone’s dream home is a little different and so is every client. We know that no 2 people are exactly alike and we believe that homes shouldn’t be either. Fratantoni Interior Designers will seamlessly assist you throughout the entire design process, making sure to include you in all of the decision-making and considering your unique lifestyle above all else. Each client gets the VIP treatment and form and functionality go hand-in-hand when you hire the best in the industry. Whether located on the east coast, or the west coast, our luxury interior designers work nationwide to bring clients’ dream custom homes to life!

Your guests should experience culinary excellence without ever witnessing the chaotic preparation behind the scenes.

When a property commands an extraordinary natural vista, the residence must answer with equal magnificence. The interplay between interior spaces and the external environment dictates the true essence of a bespoke estate. Achieving perfect harmony requires an uncompromising vision where nature and architecture converse flawlessly. The most breathtaking rooms never compete with the beauty just outside the glass. Masterful styling acts as a subtle frame for the world beyond the walls. Every selection of fabric and finish must elevate the surrounding environment without causing visual distraction.

Luxury Custom Homes Built Through Collaborative Design

Why Luxury Custom Homes Need Architecture, Interior Design, and Construction to Work Together

By Josie Fratantoni • April 15, 2026
Building a luxury custom home requires more than strong ideas in separate phases. It requires architecture, interior design, and construction to work together from the beginning. In high end residential interior design, every decision affects another, which is why a more collaborative process often leads to a better final result. A ceiling detail can influence lighting. Cabinetry design can affect framing and electrical planning. Material selections can impact installation, timelines, and architectural detailing. When these disciplines are aligned early, the home feels more cohesive, more intentional, and more fully resolved. At Fratantoni, our in house teams at Fratantoni Design , Fratantoni Interior Designers, and Fratantoni Luxury Estates work together to create luxury homes that are thoughtfully developed from concept to completion.
Luxury Interior Design Should Start Before Construction

Why Luxury Interior Design Should Start Before Your Custom Home Is Built

By Jessica Fratantoni • April 7, 2026
Building a custom home is one of the most exciting opportunities a homeowner can experience. It is a chance to create a residence that reflects your lifestyle, aesthetic, and long term vision in a way that feels deeply personal. For luxury homeowners, that process should be intentional from the very beginning. Every room, finish, architectural detail, and functional feature should work together to create a home that feels cohesive, elevated, and entirely custom.  One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make when building a new home is waiting too long to involve an interior designer. Many people assume interior design begins after the floor plan is complete or once construction has already started. In reality, the most successful luxury homes begin with interior design much earlier in the process.
