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.

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

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

After the design is firmly fixed, the decoration is added. Decorating is the final enhancement.

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

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.
