The room that she now dubs her “sun parlor” and is perfect for entertaining and lounging.

When she isn’t hosting guests, Verrilli uses the sun parlor as her home office.

Given that her apartment doesn’t offer any closets, Verrilli has had to creatively maximize storage.

“I also attempt to incorporate furniture pieces that have storage capabilities whenever possible.”

Verrilli particularly appreciates vintage trunks.

“They are so beautiful in a space but also hold so much!”

Her favorite element of her apartment is the overall flow and layout of the space.
