As a child, I felt very embarrassed… because I had a fridge, a family and a nice home. I grew up in Jerusalem during the war and most of my friends came from terrible, really dreadful camps in Siberia.
I always felt guilty that… I was so lucky. You couldn’t buy anything but my mother was amazing and created everything herself.
I fell into interior design when… Ronnie Wood asked me to design a nightclub for him in Miami in the late Eighties. And I never moved back to London.
I always wear… black, which is purely out of laziness.
If you’re a designer… and working a lot with colour, you don’t wear much colour because it interferes with what you are working on.
Most of my walls are painted… a pearl grey colour; it works well with the bright sunshine of Miami. I have odd walls painted in a burnt orange shade.
Grey is… fantastic. It changes colour from pink to violet according to the time of day.
Recently I have been bombarded with… requests for BIBA designs. My inspiration for my BIBA wallpaper prints actually came from the public’s nostalgia.
Wallpaper used to scare me stiff… but now it’s easy to put up and peel off like sellotape. You used to have to steam and scrape it off. It’s great for covering old and cracked walls.
I was thrilled to… work on this project with Graham and Brown. They produce such wonderful printing and colour palettes, and I love the fact that is it produced in the UK.
To have wallpaper in Miami … you need to keep the temperature constant with air conditioning. It’s very damp in my home so I can’t have much of it. I wouldn’t be able to open a window or I’d get bubbles. Wallpaper hasn’t yet been developed for this climate.
My top interior advice is… have your bedroom in the largest and nicest space in the house. A bedroom should not be tucked away. Don’t save the best room for special occasions.
I will never get rid of… my Fifties chair that keeps getting re-upholstered. It’s silver at the moment but I’ve changed the cover of it three or four times. I also adore my huge seahorse doorstop which I picked up in a junk market.
Being caught in a hurricane is… an extraordinary thing. You have no control, there is nothing you can do. You don’t know where or how it is going to hit. I was on the beach when hurricane Andrew hit and thought I should head inland to the tomato fields. Then the hurricane hit the tomato fields and the beach was fine. You never know. It’s a gamble. I have a feeling there will be a big hurricane this year.
Since being hit by hurricane Katrina… I’ve moved to a higher floor. When the hurricane struck, I was lying in my bed and thinking, my floor is looking very shiny. It was covered in water.
It was scary when… my huge window was smashed in. All I want now is really strong windows.
Celebrities are… usually disappointing and rarely interesting because they are so into themselves. The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bridget Bardot and Mia Farrow all came to my shop BIBA.
The greatest things in my life are… drawing and meeting interesting people.
I admire… minimalism, but I need clutter. I like having different shapes and colours that my eyes will focus on.
I am sick and tired of… walking into a room and knowing where everything has come from. In America, everything looks like it’s Armani Casa, all very masculine with a white sofa in the room. It’s mental.
Update your home by… moving around photo frames and having furniture on wheels, so you can move it around too.
My all-time favourite project was… designing the Marlin hotel in the Eighties for Chris Blackwell. He always gave me a blank canvas to design whatever I wanted.
Naomi Campbell, Grace Jones, Madonna… you name it, everyone would party on the rooftop there – until the city banned the parties.
If my house was burning down… I’d grab pictures of my son, [my late husband] Fitz, and my passport. Then I’d think, ‘great, I can start again’.
