Great spaces do not happen by accident. Some people have a gift for putting together rooms in a way that is pleasing to the eye, as well as functional. However, most people struggle with this. It seems so easy, but still, they cannot make it happen.  When I look at and plan a room, I always base it on the principles of design: scale and proportion, balance, rhythm, emphasis, and harmony. For a room to come together well, all these principles should be considered. I also pay attention to the elements of design: space, line, shape and mass, texture, light, color, and pattern. As an interior stylist, I use the knowledge in these areas to create interiors that are physically and psychologically comfortable, as well as beautiful and functional.
