barry's second book, 'barry dixon inspirations', will be released on 1 june 2011.  for barry, 'inspiration through the window' is an important part of the design process.  so, he often selects colors and materials for his interior design projects that bring the outside inside.

barry also 'loves odd color palettes', which is reflected his designs for the new barry dixon fabric and trimming collection by vervain.
