Brooklyn Interiors appeals to those who aspire to the style brand that is Brooklyn, or boho New York. Filled with the stylish, thoughtful yet whimsical and charming homes of the artistic class living, working and surrounded by art. This book will be one of the most inspirational interior decorating and artistic profile books coming out in 2016.
Theonly other direct competitor is Design Brooklyn (2013), but thatbook includes industrial and commercial spaces, andBrooklyn Interiorswill focus 100 percenton residential spaces, and follows our success with Brooklyn Modern.
Brooklyn has supplanted Manhattan as the country's bastion of real style, andthis is the first book to get inside the homes of the new creative class.
"[Brooklyn Interiors] focuses entirely on private homes, aiming to get to the heart of the Brooklyn lifestyle by profiling houses that display trendsetting design sensibilities."

"Here are 240 pages of vividly decorated lofts, railroad flats, brownstones and industrial spaces across the borough, and even a century-old ferry boat docked in Red Hook. . . .

In fact, that is what Hackett hopes will happen."
