Mark Hampton influ­enced design over decades.  In cel­e­bra­tion of yesterday’s blog and his book on dec­o­rating, we have pulled some inspi­ra­tional quotes about design by Mark Hampton with cor­re­sponding looks.

COLORS

“The red I love almost better than any other is a deep, soft Venetian red.“
