Interior design question: can heliamphora be kept indoors beautifully?

I find heliamphora to be supremely elegant and beautiful guys. However, they need quite bright grow lights (my artist friends already bitch and moan at the 5000K grow lamp for my sundews), frequent top watering, corresponding pots to accommodate, possibly temp and humidity control for some of them.

I'm in Texas. I could set it on my south windowsill, but then I start thinking about peltier temp controllers, misters... :( .... Heliamphora ionasii looks lovely but I should not.

Might it grow under intense 3000K lighting on a bookshelf?

More broadly, any suggestions for not making carnivorous plant grow setups which look kind of ugly?
