30 Quotes by Albert Hadley

The essence of interior design will always be about people and how they live.

The essence of interior design will always be about people and how they live. It is about the realities of what makes for an attractive, civilized, meaningful environment, not about fashion or what’s in or what’s out. This is not an easy job.

Design is about discipline and reality, not about fantasy beyond reality.

Decorating is not a look, it’s a point of view.

Decoration is really about creating a quality of life, and a beauty in that life that nourishes the soul, that makes life beautiful.

Design is defined by light and shade, and appropriate lighting is enormously important.

Life is all about manners. Nothing else matters.

Decorating is not about making stage sets, it’s not about making pretty pictures for the magazines, it’s really about creating a quality of life, a beauty that nourishes the soul.

Make your home as comfortable and attractive as possible and then get on with living. There’s more to life than decorating.
