Carleton Varney

Carleton Varney, one of America's best known interior designers, is the president/owner of Dorothy Draper & Co. Inc., in New York City. It is one of the oldest established interior design firms in the United States and is named after the founder of the company, Dorothy Draper.

Mr. Color

Dorothy was one of the doyennes of interior design in the United States from the 1920s to the 1960s. The Varney design philosophy stresses "the use of bright colors and the rejection of all that is impractical, uncomfortable and drab." By embracing this practice, he continues the tradition of Dorothy Draper: being associated with the imaginative use of vibrant colors, floral patterns and bold contrasts.

His latest book, Mr. Color, features his current undertakings of wonderful, colorful design.
