I have always believed that the more educated the clients are, the easier they are to work with. Clients with a knowledge of decorating, and an ability to articulate what they want from the finished project, make the designer's job easier.

The one thing I never get involved with is selecting art or pictures for a client. This is a very personal thing. If the clients have pictures, I will hang them. When they do not own pictures I leave the walls blank.

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

I deeply believe that a beautiful decor can have a beneficial influence on our lives.

Forget the floor plans. Arrange the furniture where it is the most comfortable and will look best.

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

Flair-a primitive kind of style-may be innate, but I think knowledgeable taste is learned, the result of travel, experience, living, education.
