Description
The Arklow Fabric Large Sofa combines modern elegance with everyday comfort, making it a perfect addition to any living space. Its spacious design provides ample seating, while the plush cushions and padded arms offer exceptional support. Upholstered in high-quality fabric, it is both durable and stylish. Finished with sleek tapered legs, this sofa brings a refined touch to your home, whether for relaxing or entertaining guests.
Our Stylist Says
I love this large sofa for its timeless design and the bold, yet versatile blue fabric, which can anchor both modern and classic interiors. It works particularly well in contemporary or Scandi-inspired spaces where clean lines and functional, yet stylish pieces are key. The size makes it perfect for family rooms or open-plan living areas, offering plenty of seating. Practical styling tips include pairing it with neutral or patterned cushions to add texture and personality, and layering with a soft rug underneath to create a cosy, inviting atmosphere. Additionally, since it’s sizeable, accessorising with smaller accent chairs or side tables can help break up the space and keep it feeling balanced.

About Barker and Stonehouse
Founded in 1946, Barker and Stonehouse offer a diverse range of stylish and timeless pieces. From contemporary to traditional designs, Barker and Stonehouse brings sophistication and comfort to every room.
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.
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.
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.
