Peter Marino Quotes

Your home should be an extension of you and who you are as a person. If you can come home, and actually feel at home... that's fantastic design.

Your home should be a reflection of how you want to live right now, and for the next phase of your life.

I believe your home tells a story about who you are and who you aspire to be. We represent ourselves through the things we own. I don't believe in trends. I believe in collecting things that you connect with. We should surround ourselves with things we care about, that have meaning.

A home should be an intimate autobiography of the things that you like. One of the things I'm so keen on expressing is that, if you don't do it for yourself, if you're always seeking affirmation from outside, you'll never have a home. It'll just be a house.

I've always wanted to design a home collection line because growing up, I was obsessed with reorganizing my room.

Your home should tell the story of who you are.

What happens style wise behind closed doors, in your home, shouldn't be incidental. Home isn't just where you stow your things or sack out for the night. It should be your private escape.

The house shows the owner.

My entire concept of lifestyle is built on the foundation of my homes. There is no more important expression of this concept than that of my own personal living space.

The spaces we live in should tell our story.

Finding a way to really reinterpret your home as an expression of how you live, is really good design in my opinion.

I really believe that a good decorator is a good listener. So the inspiration always is the people that are living in that home.

I do know that I would never - though you should never say never - work with a decorator, because I don't want to see the touch of someone else in my own space.

Whenever anyone puts decor or artwork on the walls, it's always personal. You want people to come into your home and see something that reflects your personality.

Homes are filled with who you are, as opposed to things.

I think to make your home as comfortable as possible is so important. There’s something really interesting about that as a trend, that whole idea of lifestyle and being happy in your surroundings.

Being home is like a vacation to me, so I'm trying to get my home together.

The fact that my clothing has been visually available to other people I do not find upsetting. The body is another matter. It is mine; I have found it useful; but it is an avatar.

I don't know, it's dorky. Just like quotes and stuff. Something I want to see everyday or something I want to be there. I don't know. I can put a hole in the wall if I want. It's mine. It's very simple. It's a very tiny house, but I can do whatever I want to. I can rip up the terrible vinyl floor and recycle it. Just create a good space. A quiet place to be.

I feel that silence is the greatest word, ever. When you don't talk, people begin to read things into you or you become what they long for. When you don't talk, you almost become the mirror image of the other person.
