“To me, the one thing you should splurge on, if you only have a certain amount of money to spend, is your bed because you spend about 30 percent of your life in bed, and you should be comfortable, and you should wake up every day just feeling good.”
“Modern minimalism has become less strict over time with a wider range of textures and materials, with other cozier layers.”
“I tend to lean toward a more minimal aesthetic, so when I use wallpapers in my interiors, I like for one or two prints to be the star of the show. I would recommend being careful in your use of strong prints so the room doesn't get too busy. Use one print that dominates and one as an accent.”
“I'm all about the highs and lows. I'm not a designer that thinks you need to spend a lot of money. You can get the look you want between thrift stores and stores like Ikea and Target.”
“I think you could say L.A. has a bit of a cookie-cutter gay community.”
“Guys should be doing laundry, doing dishes.”
“I'm always thinking about how what I'm doing is affecting the people around me. As a New Yorker, you have to be that way.”
“Inspiration can really strike from anywhere.”
“A plant is the most cliche thing, but a little bit of green has a great effect on happiness. Being at a cubicle all day is not pleasing, but a little life on your desk can give you a little life, too.”
“A lot of people spend all this time painting their house, picking out rugs, and then they put fluorescent lighting in there. It totally ruins the mood.”
“I'm an interior designer who happens to be gay.”
“Nothing makes you feel better than when you get into a hotel bed, and the sheets feel so good. Why shouldn't you wake up like that every day? Spend money on your mattress and bedding because these things make a difference on your sleep and, ultimately, your happiness.”
“I used to beg my mom to let me put a real bed out in forest so I could lie there and listen to the sounds of the forest while still having all the comforts of home.”
“My favorite thing to do in the summer was to sleep out in the forest on the farm I grew up on.”
“I love a good monochromatic moment with doors/walls. I think it looks great!”
