The Interior Designer’s Styling Tips and Tricks

Los Angeles-based British interior designer Jake Arnold is an expert at effortlessly executing big style statements in the home. He’s transformed spaces for various stars including Chrissy Teigen, Rashida Jones, Katy Perry, and many more. His aesthetic is bold, dramatic, and all about making a high impact, but this doesn’t mean it’s all flair and no function.

Take, for example, his collaboration with cult-favorite home brand Parachute from earlier this year, which featured essentials in a deep color palette with strong textures. “A lot of the things I do are moodier, darker, richer, more layered, but also really livable—that’s the approach I like to take with my projects,” he tells House Beautiful.

With the upcoming summer to fall transition on the horizon, we tapped Arnold for quick, easy ways to incorporate his signature styling into a home refresh like never before. Whether it’s simply layering a cozy throw on the bed or going all out by taking his suggestion of finally investing in your forever couch, these are timeless tips and tricks you’ll be glad you had on your radar.
