Say hello to Issue 5 of VERANDA. ✨ In this issue, we explore the role of art in exceptional design, and how each becomes a personal bolt-hole of wonder and self-expression. Contributing editor and design maven Joy Moyler (@joymoylerinteriors) steps inside the sculptural world of Brooklyn-based artist Peter Lane. Then, five floral visionaries compose expressive and imaginative self-portraits with blooms. And, you can't miss writer and New Yorker Stephen Wallis' (@stephen_wallis) exploration into the return of elegance in American residential high-rises.

For her client who's a passionate art collector, decorator Ellen Hamilton (@ellenhamilton_welovecolor) knew she had to push the envelope in this Vero Beach retreat.

'Triangulate to Titulate' by Rob Lyon adds a pop of orange on the verdant walls.

In almost every project he does, designer Nick Olsen (@nickolsenstyle) likes to use trims and outlines to introduce “line and relief” to both rooms and furnishings. For example, he designed faux paneling in this New York entry hall using strips of marbleized paper traced by ultrathin painted lines, “like French mats on an antique picture frame.” Want to see what other artistic treasures are in this Park Avenue apartment?

Who doesn't dream about living in a castle? For designer David Jimenez (@davidjimenezstudio), it became a reality when he stumbled across this 16th-century manor house north of Paris. Each morning, the decorator opens the tall windows of his apartment's salon to look upon the apple orchards and fern-filled forest glades on the estate's grounds.

Designer Louise Copeland (@lbcopelandinteriors) aimed to keep the original spirit of this 200-year-old Hudson Valley house alive, but a few adjustments needed to be made to bring it into the 21st century. “The kitchen was really small and dark, so we added a whole new side of the house that had a kitchen looking into the meadow and pool that is so beautiful with all of these water gardens surrounding it,” says Copeland.

When it comes to decorating, high ceilings can be both a blessing and a curse. Sure, they make your home feel more spacious, but if left the walls bare, the room can look cave-like and sterile. To combat the high ceilings at the Kips Bay Decorator Show House (@kbshowhouse), the Fisher Weisman team designed an enormous custom chandelier to go over the dining room table. Weisman further explains, “We made four cylindrical pendants [to hang] in the corners of the rooms over pedestals of the same design. We created a spot for flowers and a way to activate the tremendous volume of the space so it wouldn’t feel empty.” Wonder what other tips designers have for combating high ceilings?
