Jake Arnold

Jake Arnold, a British-born interior designer, has risen quickly to become one of the most sought-after names in American interiors. His work has attracted famous clients and high-profile design partnerships, and he has been named to the AD100 list. Arnold's approach draws on the English household of his childhood and on the easygoing luxury of modern California living. The result is a warm, restrained style that feels both polished and calm, with spaces designed to stay relevant beyond passing trends.

Redefining Comfort is his first book. It presents nine completed projects, ranging from expansive California estates to beachfront homes in Florida. Each interior is shaped by a sense of elegance, tactile richness, and pleasure. Arnold pulls back the curtain on his working process, linking every project to one core principle of his design philosophy. These principles are his answers to a central question: what does comfort mean in each of these homes? He discusses them at length between chapters.

The book is filled with sketches, material samples, and recommended sources alongside photographs of the finished rooms. It offers a lavish look at the work of a designer in great demand today, and it also serves as an easy-to-use source of ideas for anyone looking for contemporary interior inspiration.
