snuggle up: 8 of the best love seats
By Jacky Parker
Snuggling up in one of these love seats – or snugglers – is what rainy Sundays are made for. Whether you're watching the latest Netflix drama à deux or taking time out on your own with a best seller and box of chocolates, these seats are bound to be the most sought after in your home.
There are classic Chesterfield styles, like the button-back beauty at Arlo & Jacob, the soft and squidgy Soufflé love seat at Loaf or the elegant Olivia two-seater from Neptune - all with a wide selection of upholstery fabrics to choose from.
If more modern shapes are your thing, check out the boxy styles offered at Designers Guild and Ikea - or the Pondok by designer duo Doshi Levien for John Lewis, which has a futuristic flavour.
The rattan-backed number at Out There Interiors will lend a beach house vibe to your abode, while the pretty pink two-seater at Made oozes all out elegance.
Whichever of these snugglers you choose, the hardest decision will be who to share it with..
