Ready to make a dramatic statement in any living space, the Cornell has a grand, oversized look that delivers comfort and modern glamour stylishly wrapped into one. Perfect for providing plenty of seating to those who don’t have the space for the larger pieces in this range, the Cornell Small Sofa seats 3 comfortably, and with zig zag spring suspension and plenty of feather and fibre filling, there’s sure to be no complaints from guests!
Our Stylist Says
I love the Cornell small sofa for its versatile silhouette and comforting proportions, making it ideal for cosy living rooms or multi-functional spaces. Its deep seat and plush cushions invite relaxation, while the clean lines and dark upholstery give it a sophisticated edge that works well in contemporary or classic interiors alike. To style it effectively, consider layering with textured throw pillows and a soft throw to add warmth and personality. It pairs beautifully with both metallic and wooden accents, allowing it to adapt seamlessly into an array of colour schemes and decor styles. Practical tip: placing a rug underneath can anchor the space and prevent the sofa from feeling like a standalone piece, while a pair of statement lamps or side tables can enhance its cosy appeal.

A Remarkable Journey
Born from the vision of two young RAF men, Charles Barker and Alex Stonehouse, Barker and Stonehouse emerged as a beacon of hope, infusing post-war Britain with a hint of glamour. Starting from a single store in Stockton on Tees, their entrepreneurial spirit led to rapid expansion, opening multiple stores across the region.
Their fast growth was fueled not only by their flair for business but also by their dedication to innovation. The business transformed over the years, adapting to the changing landscapes of retail, all while preserving its charm and values. By 2021, they marked an impressive 75 years in the industry, a testament to their enduring commitment to quality and customer service.
Sustainability at the Forefront
From the very start, Barker and Stonehouse has held a deep commitment to the environment. This devotion was showcased through initiatives such as the Trees4Trees Project, a reforestation effort in Indonesia.
Ensuring that for every tree used in their products, more than two were replanted, nearly 1.5 million trees have been restored under this initiative.
Their Knaresborough store, one of the greenest retail stores in the UK, further underscores their dedication to sustainable practices. As a cherry on top, by 2021, the company achieved the status of "Carbon Neutral Plus", making them a trailblazer in the furniture industry.
Innovative Spaces and Expanding Horizons
Over the decades, Barker and Stonehouse didn't just expand in number, but in the quality and innovation of their spaces. From opening their iconic store in Battersea, London, which beautifully preserved the characteristics of an old candle factory, to their latest state-of-the-art Gateshead store in 2023, every location tells a story.
They have also ventured into digital realms, ensuring a vast online presence and offering a wide range of products to customers all over the UK. Their partnerships, like the one with Fenwick in 2021, illustrate their adaptability and constant quest to reach new audiences.
