Flair is a primitive kind of style. It is innate and cannot be taught. It can be polished and refined. When a person has flair, a grounding in the principle of design, and self-discipline, that person has the potential of being an outstanding designer.

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.

To create an interior, the designer must develop an overall concept and stick to it.

You cannot make a modern apartment out of a traditional space.

Design is about discipline and reality, not about fantasy beyond reality.

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

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.
