When a powerhouse interior designer like Barry Dixon enters into a relationship with Vervain Fabric, the blending of lush textiles and rich narratives breaks through the everyday design chit-chat, opening a new chapter in personal style. As a home and garden writer, the most spectacular homes I have written about were designed around the owners' lives and unique travel experiences.
It can be as simple as looking at a favorite photo, a piece of jewelry, or a flower in your garden to begin your interior design journey. Barry Dixon's Cacao Vine was inspired by an old metal tin his grandmother used to store her cocoa in. Once you have a story line, it is easy to feel your way through the rich Linens, Silks and Chenilles in either the Fire and Earth or Sky and Water palettes. As you move from upholstery to pillows, linens to drapery, your tale can begin to unfold using simple, yet sophisticated layers of fabric.
Barry Dixon's own selection of memories for Vervain Fabric stems from his years of travel to inspiring places like Turkey, Beijing, and Austria. He invites you to meet his "cast [of characters] with many different personalities [where] you're sure to find your own personality to create a livable, comfortable space that stands the test of time."
Whimsical patterns such as Ishtar Turquoise may conjure up childhood memories, while Crop Art Circles in Water Blue may remind you of that special walk on the beach when you first drew your new name in the sand.
