Like fashion, your approach to how you decorate your home is
an expression of one’s self, with the furniture and objects you chose directly
reflecting your own experience, or a pursuit of a showplace, stocked with
attractive yet impersonal objects. It’s definitely not the latter for me.

I believe there’s a karma associated with decorating and
that the people who pursue the first option are ultimately happier. Trust me,
in some sense, the way you relate your love seat or a coffee table is, like it
or not, the way you relate to the people in your life – because you are either
being authentic or you are not.

How you decorate your home really has everything to do with
the way you live your life. When it comes to your own home, do not be afraid to
keep it personal and less trendy, just because.
No pretense, definitely real – who knows, it might even make
you a happier person.
