The Bold and the Beautiful
Bari J. Ackerman is an artist and interior designer whose personal touches are seen on every surface of her Charlotte, North Carolina, home. With a style she calls “Curated Maximalism,” Bari’s home features floral motifs, geometric patterns and animal prints where bold colors are welcome and every design element is intentional.
Bari designs art for wallpaper, rugs, bedding, dishes and “anything that art can go on,” she says; you can find her Tufted Wild Bloom rug for sale at Anthropologie. Bari is a fabric designer with a full line of prints that embody her style.
Bari is also the author of the book Bloom Wild: a free-spirited guide to decorating with floral patterns. Bloom Wild is a comprehensive guide to creating your own curated maximalism home using Bari's easy-to-follow methods for pattern mixing as she explains how she chose the decor and themes in her own decorating.
