Up close with Barbara Hawthorn

Meet Barbara

Color palette you love?
Color resonates with me—vibrant, subtle, even neutral. I try to be a “color ambassador” and find a palette that resonates with each client.

Name an exciting work of art you acquired for a client.
A home without art has no soul. Recently, I introduced clients to the paintings of iconic DC artist Sam Gilliam. They now own six.

Describe a recent project you’re most proud of...
I created bespoke interiors that interpret classics in fresh, timeless style for a 2010, Tudor-style estate.

What elements would you combine if a client with no budget asked for a “collected look?”
As exemplified by the project above: major artworks; silk rugs threaded with silver and gold; Murano glass sconces; and a sumptuous sofa inset with silvered-eucalyptus tables.

BESPOKE FLAIR
Barbara Hawthorn made a statement in a grand entry with art and custom furnishings. Built-ins incorporate woven shades, an entertainment center and an onyx-and-glass fireplace surround. A cozy grouping around a custom designed layered-stone fireplace.
