Quoting Designers: Jeffrey Bilhuber.
I'm a total sucker for silly memes with quotes. I love them. Silly and great. But what is really great is to hear quotes from other designers. We all have such wisdom, I love hearing about experiences and lessons learned.
Jeffrey Bilhuber is an iconic American designer that has provided countless quotes and design quips. They're smart and on point. His clientele speak to his taste and wisdom.
“Decorating is about the the big picture. If you say, ‘I’d like a pink lamp,’ and I just go get a pink glazed ceramic lamp, you should fire me. What a decorator does is bring you a blue-and-white Delft lamp and say, ‘This would look perfect in a pink room.’”
“It’s a Herculean amount of work to deliver projects on time and on budget.”
“Great details whisper, never shout.”
“Clients bring their inspirations to me to move their ideas and their dreams forward. Historic inspiration is always influential but clients are the driving force. We can’t create a project without a client. Preferably one that is articulate, decisive, and trusting.”
“Someone with a point of view is rather chic. Someone focused, articulate, with personality, integrity, and honesty is enormously stylish. Oh, and glamor? To be true to oneself is powerfully glamorous. ”
“Most new structures have a baseboard no higher than three inches- if one at all. I suggest making a much larger one. That can be as simple as installing a twelve-inch-high, one-inch-thick plank of wood all around the room.”
I love these blogs and the articles they wrote on Bilhuber.
