If there was ever a designer whose work embodied the rustic spirit of the sporting South—faded leather, antique taxidermy, and all—that designer would be Darryl Carter.
How can we deny that for someone who fell into design almost by accident he possesses a natural talent and flawless taste. Carter a lawyer by trade is a firm believer in keeping it simple. He believes that most great rooms can come together with just a few thoughts in mind: adapt, blend and create. I am in love with the scent and touch that he leaves in any space he passes by with like a magic wand unfolding the house in a way that makes sense, with each room flowing gracefully into the next creating a sense of intimacy and balance. Darryl´s theory in design is poetry in i´t full potential. Calm, simple, chic and “I’m not prone to gratuitous embellishment,” he says. “I like fewer objects that are meaningful in a space.” Ohhhh dear! I think I am in love! Carter is a breed of his own he who is loved by all and loves all, he who is equally comfortable with opera and hip-hop and understands that there are 179 shades of white and that white is a color makes it almost impossible to comprehend how he can still remain strong in masculinity and self confidence with a twist of down to earth, rugged and funk. The Washington D.C designer has now gone global launching his new furniture collection for Thomasville and a bestselling book The New Traditional. I hope you can enjoy his work as much as i do and keep learning from this master of design.
