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

Decorating is not about making stage sets, it's not about making pretty pictures for the magazines, it's really about creating a quality of life, a beauty that nourishes the soul.

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

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.

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

Design is defined by light and shade, and appropriate lighting is enormously important.
