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

So many people arrange furniture in order to see what's going on outside. But why? The view isn't going anywhere.

A decorator, no matter how talented, can't always get the desired results because sometimes there is resistance or maybe a lack of understanding on the part of the client. I think it is the decorator's job to work as a guide, to bring out the best qualities and the best attitudes.

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.

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.

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

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