Millie Mackintosh

At the centre of the main living space is Millie Mackintosh's sofa, our Otto Modular Sofa in Aqua Chenille Dew. Before moving in, Millie visited our Chiswick showroom, where she spent time trying different sofa designs and modular configurations, exploring our extensive collection of fabrics and experiencing how each piece felt in person. After comparing the options, she chose Otto for its relaxed proportions, versatility and the soft, minty green tones of Aqua Chenille Dew, creating a sofa perfectly suited to the way her family lives.

The Otto Modular Sofa is available to experience in every Arlo & Jacob showroom, where you can explore a range of layouts, comfort options and fabric choices in person. Our showroom teams are on hand to help you compare configurations and find the combination that's right for your home.

You can also watch Millie’s visit to our Chiswick showroom to see how she explored the different options before choosing the design, fabric and configuration for her new home.

With deep seats and a relaxed feel, the Otto Modular Sofa gives the whole family plenty of room to come together. Its modular design allowed Millie to create a generous configuration that works beautifully with the proportions of the room, showing how a made to order sofa can be tailored to suit both your space and the way you live.

The soft aqua upholstery brings a fresh wash of colour to the space, complemented by a mix of scatter cushions that introduce pattern and warmer tones. Among them, a floral Liberty print cushion in Faria Flowers adds a playful contrast to the sofa's fresh minty-green hue.

For her daughters' TV snug, Millie opted for a very different look. The Henry Sofa, upholstered in Arctic Weave Terracotta, introduces a rich, warm tone to the room, creating a cosy contrast to the softer palette of the main living space.

A Rupert Storage Footstool adds both comfort and practical hidden storage, while patterned cushions bring another layer of colour and print to the scheme.

From the fresh aqua of her Otto to the warmth of terracotta in the snug, Millie's choices give each room its own identity while keeping comfort at the forefront.

Like every Arlo & Jacob sofa, Millie's sofas were made to order in our Nottinghamshire workshops, with each piece handcrafted from start to finish by a single craftsperson. This made to order approach gave her the freedom to choose the size, layout and upholstery that best suited her home, resulting in furniture that's as personal as it is practical.

The result is two distinct spaces united by colour, comfort and thoughtful design furniture created to be lived in and enjoyed every day.
