An interior designer\u2019s creativity is stimulated to reality in many ways. \u201cHeightened awareness\u201d is what I find does the most for my own creativity. Also high on the list are the observations and comments by other successful interior designers. My favorite designer is Billy Baldwin and I find myself often going to my well worn copies of his books when I need inspiration. But in my constant quest by consuming every interior design magazine on the market, I find many quotes that are thought provoking, sometimes validating and always inspiring.
\nSome recent ones:
\n\u201cDuring any given decorating commission, a designer can end up wearing a variety of hats: adviser, confident, marriage counselor, if the planets are aligned and the practitioner is especially talented\u201d
\n\u201cI strive for a place to feel lived in and settled, it shouldn\u2019t look like a decorator just installed it.\u201d
\n\u201cAs in dressing, you want things to feel layered and less than perfect.\u201d
\n\u201cArt brings a heartbeat to a home like nothing else. It\u2019s so personal and subjective.\u201d
\n\u201cA room goes through its awkward stage, then its ugly stage, until eventually \u2013 hopefully \u2013 it gets to its beautiful stage.\u201d
\nI would love to hear some quotes that inspire you in the same way so please share.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
