MEET BARCLAY
Barclay Butera brings more than three decades of experience creating exceptional interiors that are as personal as the people who live in them. Since founding his firm in 1994, Barclay has built a reputation for combining timeless sophistication with a warm, approachable sensibility—creating homes that feel refined, inviting, and uniquely their own.
At the heart of Barclay’s approach is a deep understanding that great design begins with listening. Every project is an opportunity to learn how a client lives, what inspires them, and what they want their home to express. Barclay and his team work closely with each client to translate those insights into a thoughtful, cohesive design that responds to the architecture, location, and lifestyle of the home.
Whether creating a coastal retreat, a mountain residence, a classic estate, or a more contemporary environment, Barclay brings a remarkably versatile point of view. His ability to work across a range of architectural styles allows each project to have its own identity while maintaining the sophisticated, layered quality that has become synonymous with his work.
Clients benefit from Barclay’s extensive experience not only in interior design, but also in custom furnishings, lighting, textiles, art, accessories, and other elements that bring a home together. His longstanding relationships with leading luxury manufacturers and artisans provide access to exceptional resources and allow his team to develop highly considered, distinctive environments from the ground up.
Barclay’s work has been featured in Architectural Digest, ELLE DÉCOR, House Beautiful, Veranda, Luxe, and The New York Times, among other leading publications, and he has appeared on The Today Show, Extra!, and HGTV. He is also the author of six design books, including Living in Style, Living on the Coast, Getaways and Retreats, and The New Traditional.
Ultimately, Barclay’s goal is not simply to create beautiful rooms, but to create a home that feels effortless, personal, and enduring—a place that reflects the people who live there and becomes more meaningful over time.
