Thoughts on renovation and interior design.

Repair cannot be finished—it can only be halted.

Mikhail Zhvanetsky

The worst thing any decorator can do is make the client feel like they are wandering in someone else's home. Interiors should belong to the owner, not be a reflection of the decorator.

Billy Baldwin

Good design is immediately recognizable. Great design goes unnoticed.

Joe Sparano

I firmly believe that a beautiful environment can positively impact our lives.

Albert Hadley

I will never tire of repeating: the main thing is—do not succumb to fashion and design trends! Good taste never goes out of style; it’s never too late to learn it. Everything else is a matter of personal capability. And the worst thing is to overdo it.

Philippe Starck

A house built on the wrong foundation cannot be repaired.

Peter Thiel

Lighting can fundamentally change the atmosphere of a space more than any other design element. Want your home to stand out from all the others? Seek individuality in the lighting.

Kelly Hoppen

The gaze should not be fixed on a specific spot in the room. The entire room should evoke a smile and spark the imagination.

Juan Montoya

When I enter a space that I need to design for a client, I listen to what the space is saying—the walls, the windows… You cannot change what the space itself wants to be.

Lella Vignelli

Cooking shows are as absurd as renovation shows: you don’t need an aquarium in an atrium that you don’t have.

Dylan Moran

Every home needs a touch of black and at least one antique piece.

Jan Showers

Your home should tell the story of who you are and hold what you love.
