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

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.

A good decorator not only plans and schemes, but he also knows how the job is done.

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.

Decorating is not a look, it's a point of view.

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

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