Here's How to Spend A Perfect 48 Hours in Dallas Like a Designer
We asked formidable Dallas designers Chad Dorsey, Jan Showers, and Jean Liu where to stay, drink, dine, and explore in this design-centric city.
Welcome to the VERANDA Weekend Guides, where we show you how to make the most of 48 hours in our favorite destinations. Dallas is an editor-favorite as it's home to some of our favorite designers, makers, and shops while offering plenty of exciting places to get inspired ourselves. But planning a weekend adventure in this bustling city can feel a bit overwhelming if you don't know the city well or have any recommendations.
We've asked three of the city's (and country's) most prominent designers: Chad Dorsey, Jan Showers, and Jean Liu—all three of whom are co-chairs for the 2021 Kips Bay Designer Show House in Dallas—to be our guides to enjoying the luxury, natural beauty, and design provenance that this Texas town has to offer. Be sure to make a trip to see this year's Show House in Dallas this fall to have the ultimate design-centric experience.
