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.

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.

Make your home as comfortable and attractive as possible and then get on with living. There's more to life than decorating.

....the designer must be able to see - make a concentrated effort to absorb the essence of the project. Seeing is a very difficult thing to do. Most people "look" at a lot of thing but never "see" anything. Looking is emotional; seeing is an intellectual process.

Decorating is not a look, it's a point of view.

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

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