Decorators should always remember that letting a client see too many beautiful things is a pitfall.

An interior designer must be able to clarify his intent keeping ever in mind that decorating is not a look, it's a point of view.

Nothing comes cheap, though the educated eye will always spot very nice things for the least money.

After the design is firmly fixed, the decoration is added. Decorating is the final enhancement.

Design is coming to grips with one’s real lifestyle, one’s real place in the world. Rooms should not be put together for show but to nourish one’s wellbeing.

Deep downy upholstery is absolutely what I've always been about.

Beige is atmosphere. It's bisque, it's ivory, it's cream, it's stone, it's toast, it's cappuccino. It;s well, it's magic.
