Veranda Elements Of Beauty, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Explore this magnificent global collection of exclusive, beautiful homes from VERANDA-and gain insights and inspiration from their talented designers and architects who created them. Our innate desire for beauty is every bit as powerful as our yearning for love and happiness. The editors of Veranda spoke with interior designers, architects and landscape designers about how they introduce elements of beauty into the spaces they design so lovingly. Organized by room, each chapter displays both the grandeur of interiors and those special details that make a room arresting, reminding readers that some of the most beauteous thrills can happen in any corner of the home. From kitchens and bathrooms to bedrooms and gardens, these are the spaces that feel as good as they look and invite us in with their enthralling combination of color, pattern, and texture, along with stunning architectural features like beamed ceilings, Venetian plaster walls, and an arbor fireplace. The special homely touches displayed throughout reveal how to artfully display a collection in a hallway (a spot that's often forgotten), which antique chairs are so timeless they're worth hunting for, or the art of properly dressing a bed so beautiful that it invites you to sink into it at the end of a busy day, and so much more.
