Family photos are displayed on an ele- gant Louis XV desk – as a lasting remind- er of the strong women in Aerin’s family. The veranda: a place of relaxation One particular favourite spot is the spa- cious veranda, which extends across the entire rear of the building, offering a picture perfect view of the garden. Here, Aerin spends the morning hours with a coffee while the light shines gently through the bougainvillea that clings to the pillars. “For me, the veranda is a place where time seems to stand still,” she says. “I can sort out my thoughts here, flick through magazines, or just enjoy the breeze.”¹ The living room with custom- made sofas and hand-painted Louis XVI chairs is particularly inviting. “For me, the veranda is a place where time seems to stand still,” she says. The veranda is furnished with upholstered wicker furni- ture by Soane and Bonacina.VON POLL REAL ESTATE | 2930 | VON POLL IMMOBILIEN At home with – Aerin Lauder The furnishings – a mixture of rattan and bamboo and light-coloured linen curtains that sway gently in the wind – are reminiscent of the casual elegance of clas- sic Palm Beach conservatories. Comfortable lounge chairs, an old wooden table and candles in large glass lanterns create an intimate, cosy atmosphere that in- vites you to linger. Floral opulence and Mediterranean gardens Another highlight is the outdoor area, which was ex- tended by landscape architects Mario Nievera and Keith Williams. Flowering bougainvillea plants, lush hibiscus bushes and fragrant orange trees frame the outdoor area. A pool edged with natural stone shimmers in the sun – a retreat that is both relaxing and elegant. “I love nature,” Aerin says. “My AERIN brand is high- ly inspired by natural elements: birds, flowers, shells. All of this can also be found here in my home.”² A place to live and enjoy Despite the historical details, Aerin’s house is by no means a museum, but a lively home for her family, who enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of Palm Beach, espe- cially at the weekend. “We love spending time together here, sitting on the veranda in the evening or strolling through the small, hid- den inner courtyards on Worth Av- enue,” she says. One particular fa- vourite of hers is Renato’s, an Italian restaurant in a courtyard designed by Addison Mizner, a place that retains the charm of the “Golden Age”¹ of Palm Beach. A timeless inspiration Aerin Lauder’s home epitomises her love of history, design and effortless el- egance. By preserving the original char- acter while adding a few modern refine- ments, she has created a space that is both timeless and liveable at the same time. It combines classic design with contemporary sensitivity. It’s a place where tradition and modernity coexist, infused with warmth, sophistication and a pronounced sense of beauty. ¹ Interview: A long weekend in Palm Beach with Aerin Lauder, www.christinaohlyevans.com ² Interview: Inside Aerin Lauder’s Romantic Palm Beach Paradise, www.architecturaldigest.com “I love tradition, but with a fresh, contemporary touch.“ The centrepiece of the master bedroom is the bed, designed by Stephen Sills Associates, here with fine bed linen by D.
