“For me, decorating is all about control. I envision a room complete – and leave little to chance. I know that popular thinking has moved in a more ‘thrown together’ direction, yet this has had little effect on how I set about putting a project together.
My rooms always start with a bold yet balanced use of color, a furniture plan that’s all about comfort, a repetition of a continuing theme, a kind of over exaggerated sense of scale, and a unsubtle play on patterns.
I have respect for tradition and rules, yet when tradition means the past I become less interested. I like the Dalai Lama’s quote: ‘Know the rules well so you can break them effectively.’ This is especially true in decorating.”
