Barbara Barry defines the term “household name”. She not only is a successful interior designer, she is also a successful business woman, who completely transformed the world of interior design into multiple facets of business. Aside from her extreme knowledge and talent for form, function and beauty of a space, as a designer, she branched out to creating a household brand name through her furniture line with Baker, lighting fixtures with Visual Comfort, plumbing fixtures with Kallista, linens that can be found at your local Bloomingdales, and the list goes on. Barbara not only consults with clients on design related projects but also consults with businesses looking to elevate their brand aesthetics. There is no doubt that this woman is the epitome of how interior design has transformed over the century from simple social decorating into a world of science in design and business.
