S@H: Neutral rooms with hits of colour from accessories seem to be your hallmark. What's so great about white?
JS: In terms of the living room walls, I did that because I wanted a feeling of light there. In my guest room, which is quite dark, I felt it needed light walls, but I wanted to do that blue-and-white look and so I came up with the idea of only painting one wall in cyan. I think a lot of people feel that when you do colour, you have to paint the whole room, but actually there's something wonderful about that single focal wall.
