I wonder if any element of interior design is more personal than color? Nothing can more quicly reveal aspect of personality and character than the choice – or absence – of color.

”Kitchens should be designed around what’s important – fun, food and life.”

”Don’t make the mistake of picking out one hue and trying to match everything too closely. You always want 2-3 shades of the same color running through walls, carpet and upholstery to give a room some depth.”

“If you know exactly what you are going to do, what is the point of doing it?” — Pablo Picasso

To not dare is to have already lost. We should seek out ambitious, even unrealistic projects…because things only happen when we dream.

It is just as disastrous to have the wrong accessories in your room as it is to wear sport shoes with an evening dress.

The essence of interior design will always be about people and how they live. It is about the realities of what makes for an attractive, civilized, meaningful environment, not about fashion or what’s in or what’s out. This is not an easy job.

Decor must have sentimental value. A house must tell a story.

If you want to give a modern home a traditional feel, draw upon the culture of where it is located.

You just can’t beat slip covers for giving that friendly airy hospitality so desperately needed.
