Playing with shapes in design can create some incredible moments. The simple variation of shapes in a space can highlight the architecture or decor, create balance, and even provide visual interest that wasn’t there before. They are truly one of the most important and impactful elements in design.

Some of the most impressive uses of shapes in design are round rooms. These unique architectural marvels are a stunning example of how something as simple as a curve in the walls can change everything. The walls, before any paint or decoration, become an active participant in the visual impact of the space. Even a small deviation, such as the foyer or hallway, can add a ton of character to a home.

Here are 10 beautiful and inspiring round spaces that stand out from the crowd thanks to their unique shape.
