Dixon Smith Interiors: a showroom worth sitting in

In today’s world of internet shopping and catalog ordering, finding a company that still allows a shopper to purchase on site is rare. Thankfully, Dixon Smith Interiors’ also exists in today’s world. Not only is their furniture some of the most beautiful available, but it is available in a store with a show room layout designed with individual areas of home-like settings. For anyone who has ever had to shop for furniture, whether a single piece or a whole room, browsing through a setup like this is ideal because it makes picturing it in your own home effortless. They offer designer lines in their store, where typically one can only access designer pieces from their respective websites or catalogues. Dixon Smith Interiors is the only Baker dealer in Louisiana, and they have an outdoor furniture line from Century, both of which would typically only be available for catalog or internet order.

The store itself is also a thing of beauty. Designed by well-known architect Hays Town, it looks as if it was plucked from the heart of a 19th century neighborhood and dropped into modern-day Baton Rouge. It also looks more like a home than a showroom. It is also surprisingly enormous. From the exterior, it does not seem to hold much. However, once inside, one discovers the showroom extends backwards, taking you through room after room of unique furniture--and this doesn’t even include their warehouse behind the store.

The other amazing feat by Dixon Smith Interiors is that every piece in the store is unique. From imported authentic European antiques to more contemporary designer pieces, Dixon Smith offers something for everyone, including any and all home décor accessories. Used to decorate the store instead of just organized into rows or separate style areas, the design team of Dixon Smith Interiors expertly combine all the styles together. In one room there may be a gorgeous 18th century dresser with a contemporary abstract painting hung above it. Another room may feature one of the very distinctive lighting features of Nierman Weeks with a traditional dining room set. This mixture of pieces and the arrangement of the store display the high quality of design they provide.

In addition to design services, they offer custom draperies, upholstery and bed covers from an extensive array of fabrics. Everything the store provides combines to create a one-of-a-kind space for your home. Even if you were not blessed with the ability to dream up these spaces on your own, Dixon Smith Interiors can help. Attempting to picture a particular piece of furniture in your home would be difficult for anyone looking at a picture on a computer screen or in a catalog. Dixon Smith offers a shopping experience, complete with luxurious, interesting furniture and a homey setting, giving you the chance to test run everything before taking it home. If only shopping for everything else was this simple.✦
