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

Deep downy upholstery is absolutely what I've always been about.

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

....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.

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.
