The Style Files: Conversations with Creatives

BARRIE BENSON is a Charlotte-based interior designer best known for balancing the modern with the traditional in her signature interiors.

In addition to interiors, Barrie designs a signature line of furniture for Highland House and a line of decorative hardware and accessories in collaboration with Addison Weeks. Top publications have featured Barrie’s work including AD, Coastal Living, Domino, Elle Dècor, Garden & Gun, House Beautiful, Southern Living and The Wall Street Journal.
