Not all rock stars live in dark leather covered spaces with skulls hanging from the walls.  This cozy and elegant home belongs to Bryan Ferry, the front man in The Roxy Music band.  Bryan designed his home himself in a very quintessentially British style where comfort takes center stage in the form of comfortable furniture from various periods collected during his travels, beautiful textile and his own collection of ceramics.  “Fabrics are important,” he says,  “because I don’t go for that hard-edged modern look; I like frayed edges.” I couldn’t agree more.
