Almost certainly not in fact, but you may be thinking of William Morris, who was a late C19 contemporary arts and crafts worker, who is oftern quoted as having said  "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful".         Paul S.     P.S.   By the way it is  'who said'
