Barry Dixon's design style is an international approach, developed from an early exposure to a variety of cultures and countries around the world. Using classical architecture and traditional inspirations along with elements of modern design, he creates elegant and very individual interiors. Author Brian Coleman visits a wide range of Dixon interiors, from a breathtaking mountaintop villa in the sunny Caribbean to an eighteenth-century farmhouse in the rolling foothills of Virginia and an open-plan loft in Manhattan. Luminous photography by Edward Addeo reveals private realms that speak to the art of living in an original and believable manner.
