Adding curves for sculptural impact

One of Bari’s signature techniques is the incorporation of sculptural furniture to create a sense of movement and elegance. In this edit, she places two matching sofas facing one another in deeply toned fabrics. Bari recommends upholstering in timeless, durable fabrics like Rose Uniacke’s Cotton Velvet to ensure long-lasting style. With grand dimensions, we love this reimagining of a stately interior.

Working with natural materials to add character

For a truly distinctive space, Bari loves working with natural materials like stoneware to add both texture and personality. She loves hunting down unique finds like this antique Rena Terracotta Vase by Gathered Living, which brings character and timeless appeal to the room.

Diffusing the light to create ambience

Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood of any room. Bari suggests combining ambient lighting with accent lights, and to diffuse light throughout the room using candles, especially pieces that double as both functional and sculptural objects. The Censer by Apparatus can be an incense burner, bowl or candleholder.
