“Design is not about making things look pretty. It's about making things work better.”

“A home should feel collected, not decorated.”

“Lighting is the jewelry of a room.”

“Every room needs a touch of black, just as it needs at least one antique.”

“I'm a modernist, but I'm a warm modernist. I believe in rooms that are layered.”

“The best rooms have something to say about the people who live in them.”

“Your home should be a story of who you are, and be a collection of what you love.”

“Great design is about personality, not price tags.”

“Don't be afraid to mix things up. High and low, old and new. That's what gives a room soul.”

“Good design is a language, not a style.”

“Be adventurous. It's the only way to find your own style.”

“The most important thing is to have a point of view. It's your house, your space, your vision.”
