Decorating with what you love is a fail-proof formula for a charismatic home. This intimate look at design professionals's stunning spaces pulls back the curtain on how the world’s top designers and architects live in their own homes.

  • Jane Schwab’s Charlotte loftlike penthouse, which is ideal for entertaining 
  • Mia Reay’s Jacobean-style English country house which draws on inspiration from her passion for TK painting 
  • Lauren Santo Domingo’s Southampton, New York home which maximizes the use of art, antiques, and books as decorating objects 


Veranda Designer Secrets makes a perfect gift book for home design enthusiasts looking to create and live their best lives in a well-dressed home.

Designers and architects featured throughout the book: Bunny Williams, Caroline Gidiere, Cece Barfield Thompson, Ceara Donnelley, Charlotte Moss, Colette Van Den Thillart, David Jimenez, Emily Satloff, Hundley Hilton, Jane Scott Hodges, Jan Showers, Jeffry Weisman, John Oetgen, Ken Pursley, Laura Kirar, Mary Graham, Michael DePerno, Palmer Weiss, Paul Bates, Raul Cabra, Renvy Graves Pittman, Sue Jones, Thomas O'Brien-Dan Fink, and William Eubanks.
"VERANDA Designer Secrets is a triumph for Steele Thomas Marcoux and her talented team at VERANDA. What an honor to have Chanticleer Hill, our house on Harbour Island, included in this lavish book full of color, style and immense chic. I can't wait to order my own copy."
⁠— Matthew Carter, interior designer

“Oh what a joy and pleasure flipping through the pages of this amazing book, filled with these iconic and memorable rooms. I am thrilled to be a part of the magic. This is an incomparable index of some of my favorite interiors and reading through each creative design secret opens one's mind to all the possibilities."
— Garrow Kedigian, interior designer

“VERANDA Designer Secrets is an encyclopedic resource overflowing with chic, inventive rooms and details. Spanning a broad range of geography as well as styles, this book is a treasure trove of design.”
— Jeffry Weisman, interior designer and author of Artful Decoration: Interiors by Fisher Weisman

"The only thing more alluring than being let ‘IN’ on designer secrets is seeing them through the luscious lens of VERANDA’S illustrious pages! This intimate compilation lets us see the private spaces of designers who I firmly believe do their best work at home!"
— Colette van den Thillart, interior designer

For me personally, interior design is a work in progress. In my own homes I am continuously adding, rearranging and tweaking, even in rooms I had considered complete months or years before. It's all part of the fun of design— why not let your home grow with you as your taste and lifestyle evolve? "Designer Secrets" is packed with priceless takeaways from so many design luminaries; I'm humbled that my home is included in the mix.
— Jason Schwartz, interior designer
