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

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

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.

Ceilings must always be considered. They are the most neglected surface in a room.

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.

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

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