At NS Lifestyles, we love introducing our readers to brands that embody exceptional craftsmanship, timeless design, and inspired living. That’s why I am thrilled to welcome Ornare as our newest sponsor, with two extraordinary showrooms serving our readers in Greenwich, Connecticut, and Paramus, New Jersey.
For more than 35 years, Ornare has been recognized around the world as a leader in bespoke luxury interiors. From spectacular kitchens and luxurious closets to elegant bathrooms, home offices, entertainment spaces, and custom architectural millwork, every project is thoughtfully designed around the people who live there. The result is a home that is not only beautiful but deeply personal.
A Tale of Two Extraordinary Showrooms
Walking into an Ornare showroom is more than visiting a design studio—it’s stepping into a world where beauty, craftsmanship, and inspired living come together.
The newest addition to the Northeast is ORNARE GREENWICH, the company’s eighth showroom in the United States. Located in the heart of downtown Greenwich, this elegant space is truly a jewel box. Sophisticated, intimate, and impeccably curated, every room showcases Ornare’s signature attention to detail. It’s the kind of showroom that invites you to slow down, appreciate every finish, every texture, and every thoughtful design element, while imagining the possibilities for your own home.
The Paramus showroom, located inside the renowned Paramus Design Center, is nothing short of a showstopper. Grand in scale and breathtaking in its presentation, it offers room after room of extraordinary design inspiration. From magnificent kitchens and luxurious dressing rooms to beautifully appointed living spaces and sophisticated home offices, every vignette demonstrates why Ornare has earned its reputation as one of the world’s premier luxury interior brands.
Together, these two showrooms perfectly capture Ornare’s philosophy: luxury should be both timeless and livable.
Serving the Tri-State Area and Beyond
One of the things I especially love about Ornare is that these two beautiful showrooms make world-class design more accessible for homeowners throughout the region. Together, the Greenwich and Paramus locations serve clients across the tri-state area and beyond, offering an exceptional luxury design experience closer to home.
While Ornare is also proud to have a showroom in Manhattan, the Greenwich and Paramus locations provide a convenient alternative for clients throughout Westchester, Fairfield County, Bergen County, New Jersey, and the surrounding suburbs. Rather than traveling into the city, visitors can experience Ornare’s breathtaking collections, meet with their expert design team, and begin creating the home of their dreams in an elegant, welcoming setting.
Whether you choose the intimate sophistication of the Greenwich showroom or the dramatic scale of the Paramus showroom, you’ll discover the same commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, personalized service, and timeless luxury that has made Ornare one of the world’s premier names in bespoke interiors.
More Than Beautiful Design
What makes Ornare truly exceptional is its ability to create complete lifestyle environments.
Every collection combines innovative engineering, premium materials, impeccable craftsmanship, and sophisticated design. Whether you’re building your dream home, renovating a kitchen, creating a custom dressing room, or designing the perfect home office, the Ornare team works closely with each client to transform a vision into reality.
Every detail is intentional. Every finish is exquisite. Every space feels effortlessly luxurious.
Why We Love Ornare
At NS Lifestyles, we celebrate companies that value artistry, quality, and enduring style. Ornare embodies all of those qualities, making them a natural addition to our family of trusted partners.
Over the coming months, we’ll be taking you inside both the Greenwich and Paramus showrooms, introducing you to the talented designers behind the brand, showcasing inspiring projects, highlighting the latest luxury design trends, and bringing you exclusive event coverage and behind-the-scenes looks.
Whether you’re embarking on a full-scale renovation, building your forever home, or simply searching for design inspiration, I encourage you to experience both locations for yourself.
The Greenwich showroom is a jewel box of sophisticated design. The Paramus showroom is a showstopper that will leave you dreaming about your next home project. Together, they beautifully represent everything that has made Ornare one of the world’s most respected names in bespoke luxury interiors.
Trust me—you’ll leave inspired.

We’re excited to announce three incredible shows that we’ll be seeing together this fall. Whether you’re a longtime theater fan or looking for the perfect excuse for a night in New York City, we’d love for you to join us.
🧛 The Lost Boys
Tuesday, September 15 🎟️ Orchestra Seats – $130
The cult classic vampire film comes to Broadway in an exciting new musical packed with thrills, unforgettable music, and plenty of ’80s nostalgia.
Don’t miss this highly anticipated Broadway revival starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Ed Harris, Allison Janney, Lily Rabe, and Joe Keery. This limited engagement is already one of the most talked-about productions of the season.
One of the season’s most anticipated new productions, Inter Alia is already generating excitement among Broadway fans and is sure to be one of the must-see plays of the fall. I had been dying to see this when I went to London this spring, but it was completely sold out for all performances. I am so glad we are getting it this time around in NYC.
Our NS Lifestyles theater outings are always a wonderful way to experience Broadway with fellow theater lovers. Seats are limited and are expected to sell quickly.

At NS Lifestyles, we are always looking to introduce our readers to inspiring people who bring extraordinary experiences to our community, and I couldn’t be more excited to welcome our newest partner, Megan Ann Rasmussen.
As an award-winning Broadway producer, director, educator, and the President of MAR Productions, Megan Ann has spent more than three decades bringing the magic of live theater to audiences of all ages. Her passion for Broadway, combined with her insider knowledge of the industry, makes her the perfect addition to the NS Lifestyles family.
If you’ve been following NS Lifestyles, you already know that our community is made up of passionate Broadway lovers. Whether we’re organizing group theater outings, reviewing the latest productions, or sharing our favorite performances, Broadway has become one of the experiences that connects so many of us.
That’s why I am thrilled to announce that Megan Ann will officially become our go-to Broadway expert.
Beginning this season, Megan Ann will be answering your Broadway questions, sharing monthly recommendations on what to see, offering behind-the-scenes insights, and helping all of us better understand the incredible artistry that brings each production to life. Her expertise will enhance our overall Broadway experience, giving us an insider’s perspective that very few people have the opportunity to enjoy.
Even more exciting, when her busy production schedule allows, Megan Ann will be joining us for select NS Lifestyles theater outings. We’ll gather for dinner before the show, where she’ll share fascinating stories about the Broadway process—from what happens behind the curtain to what it takes to bring a production from concept to opening night. I can’t think of a more memorable way to experience theater than with someone who lives and breathes Broadway every single day.
Megan Ann’s impressive Broadway credits include Othello, Harmony, Joy: The Musical, CATS: The Jellicle Ball, A Beautiful Noise, Spells of the Sea, and several exciting new works currently in development. She is also known for her thoughtful, family-focused Broadway reviews and her commitment to making theater welcoming and accessible for audiences of every generation.

That is why I am so thrilled to welcome ArtsWestchester as our newest NS Lifestyles partner.

Their work goes far beyond galleries and performances—they invest in the future of our communities by making the arts an essential part of everyday life.
As someone who has spent years introducing my readers to local events, museums, theater, music, design, and remarkable creative talent, partnering with ArtsWestchester felt like a natural next step. Together, we share the belief that the arts have the power to inspire, educate, unite, and strengthen our communities.
