It's all right to leave some empty space.
Will the design still be tasteful in five, ten, twenty years?
Rooms are meant for living. Life is spontaneous.
A well-designed room does not intimidate.
You should never question what to do when you enter a room.
The process should start with something the client cherishes – the “mother” accessory, fabric, piece of furniture, or art.
Appropriate lighting (both natural and artificial) is the key to creating ambiance.
As opposed to computer rendering, hand sketching appeals to all senses. It allows you to “feel” a true sense of space.
Add it to imagination and the result is a rational design process.
From the first meeting to the last installation, I'm there as a design expert, patient listener, filterer of information, opinion-giver, expediter, intermediary with craftspeople, and collaborator with the client.
