Description
With a beautifully modern but homely feel, boasting great comfort and versatility, the Melby Cream Velvet Armchair makes a perfect finishing touch to many living spaces. Foam seat cushions complement the softness of its back, featuring a dual combination of foam and feather to provide not only instant relaxation but continued support.
Our Stylist Says
I love this armchair for its clean, versatile design and neutral tone, which makes it a great anchor piece in both contemporary and classic interiors. It works particularly well in schemes that favour muted, soft colours or natural textures, adding a sense of understated elegance without overwhelming the space. For styling, consider layering with textured cushions or throws to add warmth and personality. It’s also a practical choice for living rooms or cosy reading corners, where comfort and simplicity are key. To keep it looking its best, pairing it with a mix of modern and vintage accents will create a balanced, inviting environment.

About Barker and Stonehouse
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.
