To create an interior, the designer must develop an overall concept and stick to it.

Design is coming to grips with one’s real lifestyle, one’s real place in the world. Rooms should not be put together for show but to nourish one’s wellbeing.

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

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

Flair is a primitive kind of style. It is innate and cannot be taught. It can be polished and refined. When a person has flair, a grounding in the principle of design, and self-discipline, that person has the potential of being an outstanding designer.

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

Forget the floor plans. Arrange the furniture where it is the most comfortable and will look best.
