I think there is always a need for pure design. With pure design, you don't need so much decoration.

I didn't have any interest in traditional art.

I like decorative, functional things that I feel comfortable in.

My personal decorating style is cozy, romantic and a little rustic, with a sense of whimsy.

Every decorative piece in this house is my feeling, my choice.

I bought a house, and I've been decorating it.

There is no real need for decorations when throwing a barbecue party - let the summer garden, in all its vibrant and luscious splendour, speak for itself.

I'm suspicious of places that look decorated. I can understand why people do it, but you see too many cushions or a piece of fabric hanging and it's, like, 'Ugh!' A good house with good art will always work, no matter what.
