Knowledgeable and full of wisdom, our mothers and grandmothers know best when it comes to most things. I don't know about you, but my mom (and her mom) seems to have an answer to pretty much any question, be it a mundane domestic query or advice on a personal dilemma.
Aware of her influence in shaping my knowledge and interests, I assumed interior designers had similar experiences, so I asked some of my favorites what design and decorating advice they inherited from their family.
