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

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.

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.

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

Decoration is really about creating a quality of life, and a beauty in that life that nourishes the soul, that makes life beautiful.

....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.
