After spending more time in our homes than ever, it’s fair to say we’re all keen to make our spaces as stylish and comfortable as possible.

Whether you’re in a cosy compact London flat or have more space to play with, Arlo & Jacob is the go-to destination for creatively designed, high-quality furniture and home accessories.

Here are six pieces to check out, depending on your own taste and space…

Mustard colour sofa

1. The small-space seater

Living in a small space doesn’t mean waving goodbye to the joy of sinking into a sofa. 

Case in point is this slim but chic piece with perfectly plump cushions and an understated design that won’t overwhelm the room.

2. The cocktail chair

James Bond himself would approve of this martini cocktail-inspired armchair. 

Style it with your drinks trolley and a blend of modern and vintage furnishings to make for the ultimate furniture centrepiece.

Pink chaise longue

3. The updated chaise longue

If you’ve always liked the idea of a chaise longue but never been able to shake the association with Freud or grape-eating people of leisure, this one’s for you. 

The modernised piece has deep cushions and tapered legs with a geometric twist.

4. The Scandi sofa

If you’re into minimalist, Scandi design, you can’t go wrong with this standout sofa. 

Combining a traditional (and low-maintenance) structure with modern flourishes like pulled buttons, this is a must-have.

5. The crafty footstool

Tripling up as storage, a coffee table and a footstool, this ottoman-style piece hits the sweet spot of style and substance. 

With clean, classic colours, it’s set to be the new hero piece of any living room.
