"Like a great dinner party you want a varied guest list…someone is larger than life, another is quiet but fascinating, another brings beauty, or brilliant conversation, or humor," artist Judith Bigham says, describing her philosophy of decorating. "If a piece of furniture or art doesn't work because it's too big or too exaggerated for a room I often say 'oh she's the loudest girl in the room!' I love a large piece in a small room or a rich vivid color or pattern…but, you must balance; add another 'loud girl,' metaphorically speaking."
