Jeremiah Brent Quotes

A great interior designer is able to capture who someone is and adapt to who they are.

You don't have to paint your walls lime green just to try to have your home feel decorated. If you're a classic dresser or preppy dresser or a modern dresser, you wear a lot of black - whatever it is - your home should reflect that as well.

Furnishing a home is no different than going into the studio and making music. You want to make sure you've pared down all the extra details so that in the end, every stitch has a context uniquely yours.

Design doesn't have to be daunting. Some people really find it challenging to take on their entire home, because they don't know their aesthetic; they don't know where they want to go.

Because I live and breathe design every day, sometimes I will come across an idea that is something I want to try. It often comes from an old hotel or an old restaurant, and I will adapt it to be residential.

When it comes to designing your first apartment, I think people get overwhelmed and end up collecting pieces that don't always mesh well together because they don't have a clear vision. Take your time and use tools that can help inspire and guide you through the process.

Everywhere your eye travels in your home, it should land on something that resonates with you.

Look for inspiration in books, magazines, and even other people's homes - then be brave and take a chance with a room in your home.

I've always been inspired by beautiful interiors.

I'm an interior designer from the soul. It's not about just putting things in a room. It's much deeper and broader. It's about self-discovery.

I gave the couple a hint of a design that would work great with the bones of their home. They weren't ready for it, and they embarrassed themselves and that's too bad.

My biggest word of advice that I could give to people that are dealing with a home renovation or decoration is to not think about design as it's been presented to you before. I think everybody needs to start designing based on the moments they imagine having in their home and that is what has guided me as a decorator.

I do know that I would never - though you should never say never - work with a decorator, because I don't want to see the touch of someone else in my own space.

My love for interior designing has always been there.

I wanted to be a decorator. I wanted to interior design homes and do everything myself.

I've always loved interior design.

After student years of flat-sharing and living with other people's taste, I went into decorating overdrive when I acquired my first apartment - its floor plan not much bigger than the vintage Hermes scarves I then wore side-knotted on my head, pirate-style.

I want my home to look good, feel good, and smell good. I want it to be inclusive, to reflect the people who live there.

I want to make sure I'm not a dilettante. Decorating has been a passion all my life. I love it.

People are easily intimidated when they decorate their home. They think it has to be one way. But there's no one way. It's your way, your style. At the end of the day, you have to live there. It's your cocoon, your nest. You have to be happy in it.

You can learn the subtle language of interior style, but many people simply buy it. If you put yourself in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing, you can be confident it will look good.

I've always wanted to design a home collection line because growing up, I was obsessed with reorganizing my room.

You have to put your own personality into your home. Do what you feel is you!

I had always been kind of obsessed with making a home of my own and was always drawing rooms that I wanted to live in, down to pictures on the wall and the faces that would be in the photographs, and how the couches would be situated.

I always begin a room with the rug; it is literally the foundation of the space. I then go on to the furniture.
