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.

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

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

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

Decoration is really about creating a quality of life, and a beauty in that life that nourishes the soul, that makes life beautiful.

The essence of interior design will always be about people and how they live.

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.
