Today we turn our lens on an internationally renowned interior and home d\u00e9cor designer who may not directly preach about <em><strong>women empowerment<\/strong><\/em>, but certainly does her fair share of empowering through her self-made success story and extensive library of celebrated interior designs and product creations!

Known for her unpretentious yet elegantly luxurious interiors and home d\u00e9cor product designs, Barry\u2019s philosophy is that \u201cliving simply, and with quality, is the highest form of luxury.\u201d<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I live unabashedly for beauty, both inner and outer and I see them as intimately connected&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/bykoket.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-21066\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bykoket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/ce200e6d963e4f2bf560dae791dde932-yellow-rooms-floor-covering.jpg\" alt=\"Women Empowerment: Barbara Barry for Baker Furniture - Visual Comfort - Interior Design - Top Interior Designers - Yellow living rooms\" width=\"645\" height=\"454\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAt her Los Angeles-based namesake design studio Barry\u2019s talented team helps bring her vision of gracious living to life through bespoke residential and commercial interiors, and signature home d\u00e9cor designs. On her website, she admirably acknowledges she would not be where she is today without the support of others and provides a glimpse of her gentle demeanor, &#8220;With the help of my talented and dedicated staff we work to create homes in which I\u2019d want to live and products of which I am proud. They make it possible for me to travel for inspiration and to speak globally on the things that I\u00a0love. I feel blessed to have the life I do and grateful for the relationships my career has engendered.&#8221;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/bykoket.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-21054\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bykoket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/0d5a6d83520069e5287e044d8adbd723.jpg\" alt=\"Barbara Barry Baker Furniture and Lighting - Dining Room Design - X-back dining chairs, pedestal dining table - luxury furniture\" width=\"645\" height=\"484\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nIn addition to her well-appointed interiors, Barry\u2019s illustrious and unwavering vision of home d\u00e9cor product designs can be seen through her partnerships with renowned brands such as <em><strong>Baker Furniture<\/strong><\/em>, <em><strong>Kallista Bath<\/strong><\/em>, <em><strong>Kravet Fabrics<\/strong><\/em>, <em><strong>Tufenkian Carpets<\/strong><\/em>, and <em><strong>Visual Comfort Lighting<\/strong><\/em>.<br \/>\nIn her words, \u201cDesigning furniture that will become a part of a family\u2019s history is one of the things I love about my work.\u201d<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/bykoket.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-21060\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bykoket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/baker-furniture-barbara-barry.jpg\" alt=\"Women Empowerment: Barbara Barry Baker Furniture - Top interior designers - luxury furniture\" width=\"645\" height=\"860\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nSurrounded by a family of painters, from a young age Barry learned to see the world through an artistic lens. She grew up noticing the subtle distinctions in the colors and forms in nature and explains its consistent influence on her work as, \u201cmy constant inspiration with its elegant colorations and perfect patterns.\u201d Rooted in her love for nature, Barry\u2019s signature principles of good design &#8211; simplicity, proportion, and harmony &#8211; are explored in her 2012 book <em>Barbara Barry:\u00a0Around Beauty<\/em>.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/bykoket.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-21080\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bykoket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/AB-BOOK_12@2x.jpg\" alt=\"Barbara Barry - Around Beauty Book - Rizzoli - David Meredith - Dominique Browning - Best Interior Design Books\" width=\"645\" height=\"454\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n&#8220;The neutral palette allows the moments of color to pop,&#8221; says the designer about her Los Angeles home&#8217;s living room. The space includes a few of Barry&#8217;s own designs, including aBaker sofa, a cocktail table for Henredon, and Kravet carpet.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/bykoket.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-21065\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bykoket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Barbara-Barrys-living-room-home-design-decor-home-decor.jpg\" alt=\"Barbara Barry's living room-home-design-decor-home-decor\" width=\"645\" height=\"454\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nBarry\u2019s rise to fame didn&#8217;t follow a traditional trajectory, but rather one stemming from an organic and natural passion, making it even more inspirational! A born designer, she did not come from wealth, in her words she grew up with \u201crather modest means\u201d, but she did grow up in an artistic family who nurtured her innate talent from an early age. In particular by her mother who saw her potential from the get-go and of whom Barry says, \u201cThe best advice in everything creative came from my mother, who told me I was a natural. That vote of confidence paved my way in life.\u201d<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/bykoket.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-21070\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bykoket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/BB_Web_Kenelly_Bath.jpg\" alt=\"Barbara Barry_Web_Kenelly_Bath - Top Interior Designers - purple dressing room\" width=\"645\" height=\"454\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAfter a stint in art school, Barry set off to Europe and fell in love with wine and cheese (this says a lot about her!) Upon returning to her home state of California, she opened a small shop in Mendocino where her penchant for design caught the eye of a patron, who asked for some design help. \u201cI think I just happened to be in the right place at the right time,\u201d says Barry \u2013 but I am not so convinced that just anyone would have been able to take such a happenchance entry into the field to the heights she has!<br \/>\nNext stop Los Angeles \u2013 Barry says she knew if she were ever going to get anywhere in the design world, \u201cit was necessary that I move to a major city, create a portfolio of my own bedroom and chairs in just the right light, and march into the design center and announce myself and my availability for work.\u201d So off she went!<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/bykoket.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-21063\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bykoket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Barbara-Barry.jpg\" alt=\"Women Empowerment: Barbara Barry - Top Interior Designers\" width=\"645\" height=\"967\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nIn 1985 Barry launched her namesake residential interior design studio and quickly built a roster of high-profile clients such as Michael Ovitz, co-founder of Creative Artists Agency and former president of The Walt Disney Company, Darren Star, creator of television series Beverly Hills, 90210 and Sex and the City, and billionaire mogul Eli Broad. In 1995, she expanded her business to include commercial work completing stunning spaces such as The Savoy Hotel in London, Brooks Brothers\u2019 flagship Manhattan store and the Avon Centre Salon and Spa in Trump Tower in New York.<br \/>\nThe mid-90s also marked the beginning of Barry\u2019s product design career. After meeting the then Design Director at Baker Furniture, John Black, her first collection with the well-known luxury home d\u00e9cor furniture brand was launched in 1996 and was a huge success.\u00a0Barry relishes in simplicity, a vision and opinion she has consistently stayed true to from day one.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/bykoket.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-21061\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bykoket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Barbara-Barry-chiar-vanity-chairs-for-the-home.jpg\" alt=\"Barbara Barry chair-vanity-chairs-for-the-home - accent chair - circle back chair - Baker Furniture\" width=\"645\" height=\"717\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe most obvious influence she has had in the furniture business is bringing a sense of simplicity to product design; not just modern design, but the strength and versatility of simple forms,&#8221; says Black.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bykoket.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-21062\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bykoket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Barbara-Barry-for-Baker-Furniture-Refined-Reeded-Server-furniture-side-board-baker-furniture-e1503370645109.jpg\" alt=\"Barbara Barry for Baker Furniture - Refined Reeded Server -furniture-side board-baker-furniture\" width=\"645\" height=\"434\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe art of watercolor also inspires Barry and she uses the medium to help evoke her designs. \u201cI love the way watercolors allows me to tease an idea alive,\u201d she describes.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/bykoket.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-21055\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bykoket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/09b08f035b825a3e802248f1f28e65b9.jpg\" alt=\"Barbara Barry - Interior Designer and Home Furnishings Designer - Barbara Barry watercolors - Women Empowerment - Luxury Furniture\" width=\"645\" height=\"903\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nInnate talent aside, having an opinion and sticking to it is certainly one of the secrets to Barry\u2019s success! In her words &#8211;<br \/>\n<em>\u201cDesign is expression, and I look back now and I realize I just had a lot of energy and I had an opinion.
