\u201cI\u00a0always visit my clients in their homes before beginning a project \u2013 to understand the way they currently live, what they like about their decor and what they really want as their dream home. I instruct them to pull pictures from magazines, even if it\u2019s just a door handle, and slowly we build up a jigsaw puzzle with their pieces. It\u2019s my job to fit them all together and fill in the blanks with decorating magic.\u201d \u2013 Martyn Bullard<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThe one rule I\u2019ve always stuck to is to be honest. There\u2019s no point in creating a decorative scheme on or around something you don\u2019t believe in. To be a straight shooter is always the best policy. Then you know where you stand and can create something beautiful together.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0 \u2013 Martyn Bullard<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cA house is like a face if you\u2019ve got good bone structure to begin with, you need a little bit of makeup. If you don\u2019t, you need plastic surgery.\u201d \u2013\u00a0Martyn Bullard<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cMy style is always eclectic. I never love one thing, I love many things. I never have a favorite period or design because I believe that would corner my creative mind. It\u2019s all in the mix anyway. Eclectic, yet able to edit and streamline. That\u2019s my style !\u201d \u2013 Martyn Bullard<\/em><\/p>\n
