NACOGDOCHES, TX (KTRE) -
"Baby Boomers" arrival to the senior years is creating more interest in something called "universal design." It has a lot to do with barrier-free living. East Texas News talked to an award-winning interior designer and author who is in Nacogdoches to promote the concept.
Ynthia Leibrock is the rock star among interior designers.
The internationally known expert on barrier-free living is in Nacogdoches during Fair Housing Month promoting universal design.
"Universal design means design for all people," Leibrock said.
It's an idea Leibrock wants future designers, like the ones learning at Stephen F. Austin State University, to use automatically on all projects.
"They allow a person to build a new home, raise a family in the home, and then age in the home and never have to be transplanted," Dr. Mitzi Perritt, an SFA Human Sciences professor, said."I'm not trying to encourage people to target a product for elderly and disabled people. I'm encouraging them to design one product that works for people of all ages and abilities."
The tall, very able-bodied woman has more than 200 barrier-free ideas in her home. She said they don't require "tight grasping, pinching, or twisting."
Need an example? How about a walk-in, sit-down shower for young and old alike?
"I don't need a seat in this stage of my life, but it's great to be able to put your legs up, you know if you want to wash your feet," Leibrock said.

Lizette is one of a select group of Bay Area Interior Designers given the opportunity to design a reserved lounge seating area for ten called The Lounge Act.
(PRWEB) April 08, 2013
Polished Chaos: The juxtaposition of structure with randomness blended in a manner that creates provocative beauty out of the interplay of two perceived opposites. The lounge environment will be framed by a structure allowing the space to feel like a living room in a home. Bold geometric wallpaper will be balanced by an original Klari Reis sculpture: an antique apothecary rack holding dozens of apothecary bottles filled with meandering bright layers of her signature epoxy polymer. A modern and tailored armless sectional will provide seating around a custom designed coffee table featuring a series of four different borderless video loops projecting down onto the tabletop. Creepy crawlers on high speed, swarm of moths to a light, shattering effects, and a voyeuristic street view from above all provide a dash of discord to the organizational elements in the space. The room will be anchored by a bold rug and feature a piece of artwork overhead hanging from the beams of the lounge structure. The adept mix of chaos with structure mimics Lizettes residential design expertise of playing up textures, materials, colors, patterns and light to create bespoke living environments that reflect the dynamic personality of the clients for which each space is masterfully designed.
Young and passionate, designer Lizette Bruckstein burst into the San Francisco interior design scene less than ten years ago. Forgoing the traditional route of apprenticing in a prestigious design firm, Lizette founded her high-end residential design firm, Lizette Marie Interior Design, right out of design school. In the years since, Lizette has evolved into a well-respected designer with loyal list of clients that span San Francisco to the peninsula. Lizettes philosophy is simple, to create custom spaces for her clients that are a reflection of the clients best self. From provocative to playful, colorful to serenely neutral, Lizettes designs are expertly crafted as she plays up the use of scale, texture & pattern. A big proponent of custom design, incorporating it into floor coverings and case goods, Lizette strives to give each space she creates its own signature focal point. Her use of color and geometrics in large-scale projects has also garnered attention from local and national shelter magazines, as she was most recently featured as one of the San Francisco Chronicles Stylemakers in their weekly spotlight article.
When not designing homes locally, Lizette has turned her eye to the international market, most recently completing a series of high-end turnkey units in Jakarta similar to San Franciscos One Rincon. Her other recent project of note is a full-scale renovation in Pacific Heights that is slated for national publication later this year.

Optimism, passion, and perseverance: these are the tools used by young interior designers to succeed in their field.
The interior design industry is ever-evolving, with up-and-coming young designers creating fresh and vibrant ideas and finding new ways to get their names out there through social networking sites like Pinterest, Tumblr, and Instagram.
For Rossy Yabut-Rojales, 28, her store, Heima, has even been called "Pinterest Land," with all their pieces designed to "make people happy."
"It's a feel-good store, everything's photogenic," she said.
Heima already has three outlets and a large following. Behind its success is Rossy who, with business partner and husband Bong, conceptualized Heima's hip design aesthetics when it first opened in 2009 in a small space at Cubao X.
"I was still at my day job, which is interior designing for a big design firm in Manila," Rossy recalled. She added that Bong, who is in IT and not a designer himself, is "more of a design enthusiast." He's also the partnership's marketing guy, while Rossy is the creative director.
Rossy and Bong, both fans of the Icelandic band Sigur Rs, named their store after one of the group's songs, whose title means "home."
Most of Heima's clients are young couples or homeowners, said Rossy.
"Our designs are nothing too serious so they won't be intimidated," she said.
"When we started kasi, people were asking, 'What's the concept behind Heima?' As an interior designer, I was always looking for a store na parang home siya pero fun 'yung dating. Not the typical home stores na parang you'll see," she added.

INDIANAPOLIS Chip Kalleen, owner of Indianapolis-based Kalleen & Co., will lend his design talent to give guests at the third annual Indiana Artisan Marketplace a new experience: room settings showcasing furnishings and decor by Indiana's highest-quality artists.
Kalleen will design two spaces - a dining room and bathroom - at the marketplace, an art and food experience. The annual tradeshow is April 6-7 at the State Fairgrounds, with an opening exclusively for designers, retailers, and other wholesale buyers from noon to 6:30 p.m. April 5.
"The Indiana Artisan Marketplace is a chance to buy one-of-a-kind artwork, furnishings, accessories, and food products directly from the Hoosiers who make it, meet the artisans, and take home pieces that will be enjoyed in your family today and for generations to come," said Eric Freeman, Indiana Artisan director. "Chip has been designing commercial and residential projects for many years in Indianapolis, and is associated with some of the city's best art and design events. He will design two rooms that will be built in the Expo Hall, with the primary goal of showing guests how easily and beautifully they can incorporate authentic Artisan work into their own homes."
Kalleen already has visited some of the studios of Indiana Artisans who build high-quality furniture to select individual pieces that will "anchor" both spaces. Furnishings will run the gamut from rustic to refined and highlight some of the diverse design talent in the state. In addition he will select accessory items such as paintings, pottery, textiles, metalwork, glass, and unique food items to complete the rooms from the more than 150 artisans participating in the annual tradeshow.
"The work of nearly 250 artisans has juried into Indiana Artisan, and it makes quite an impressive collection of talent," said Kalleen, a professional member of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID). He has served on the board of the Hoosier Salon Patrons Association and currently serves on the boards of the Design Arts Society at the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the Indiana Glass Arts Alliance.
"Creating these room settings is a challenge only because there is so much beautiful and dynamic work from which to choose," he said.
Kalleen brings more than 35 years of design experience to the Indiana Artisan Marketplace. His design work has received a number of awards and been published in both local and national magazines as well as newspapers and several coffee table books.
His design for the "Guest Retreat" in the 1996 St. Margaret's Decorators' Show House was selected by House Beautiful magazine as one of the "Ten Best Show House Rooms in America" in 1996. He has authored a number of articles over the years and is co-author of the book Indianapolis Architecture published in 1975.

Home-decorating television shows and shelter magazines have many Americans dreaming about inviting an expert interior designer into their homes.
It looks so effortless when a popular designer arrives in a whirlwind of creative ideas and quick-working craftsmen. By the end of an hour of cable TV, he or she has transformed a hopelessly drab home into a stylish oasis.
But what's it really like to hire a designer? How can you make sure it's a successful and not too expensive collaboration?
As with a good marriage, says interior designer Phoebe Howard, the relationship between designer and homeowner is about communication, trust and respect.
FINDING CANDIDATES
Many homeowners find a designer by asking friends whether they've used one. Designer Cathy Davin, founder and president of Davin Interiors in Pittsburgh, says new clients are often referred to her by previous clients.
Others discover her online, she says. Interior designers generally keep a portfolio of photos of rooms they've designed on their websites. Browse through as many as you can in your area, noting photos that fit with your vision for your home.
Training varies: An interior designer "typically has a bachelor's degree in interior design, and in several states must be certified," Davin says. They can collaborate easily with engineers, contractors and architects, and should have a full understanding of colour, proportion and other elements of design.
