SOUTHERN STYLE. MODERN FLAIR.
As founder and principal of Barrie Benson Studio, Barrie Benson is known for creating interiors that are richly layered, artfully composed, and unmistakably personal. Known for her fearless use of color and pattern, Barrie believes design should be joyful. Since establishing her firm in 2000, she has built a reputation for seamlessly blending modern and traditional elements into spaces that feel distinctive and welcoming. Her portfolio spans private residences across the country, as well as thoughtfully designed commercial projects.
Barrie’s passion for art extends beyond her interiors. She co-founded Peg Norriss with gallery owner Chandra Johnson, producing artist-driven capsule collections for interiors in partnership with Schumacher. She also designs a signature furniture line for Highland House and a decorative hardware and accessories collection with Modern Matter.
Barrie serves on the boards of the Mint Museum and the University of Georgia Lamar Dodd School of Art. Her work has been featured in leading publications including Architectural Digest, Elle Décor, Frederic, Garden & Gun, Luxe, and Veranda.
