I don’t need any furniture. I have a house full of furniture.

I get my furniture from North Carolina.

We just bought new furniture.

I only live with furniture that I inherited.

Furniture stores are my competition.

Such are some of the replies given to me when people learn of my profession.

As if furniture is the be all and end all of interior design.

Actually, furniture is one of the smallest elements of a designed residential interior.

It accounts for about six to eight per cent of the overall volume of residential interior spaces.

Yet, many people concentrate on furniture and ignore the other over ninety per cent of the room.

Look at the total spaces and take in every thing including the walls, floors, ceiling, all of which they are made, what they do, and what contributes what to the overall design of the space.

The more you look and completely see, the more you will understand, appreciate, and enjoy the beauty there in.

Food for thought.
