• “The impression a room makes at first sight is largely conditioned by the
furniture it contains and how it is arranged. Of these two factors, it is the
arrangement that is the most important. If pieces are positioned awkwardly,
the fact that they are the finest antiques will make no difference, and the
room will look static and indifferent. It is not what you own, but how you
use it.
-David Hicks
