"[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."
-PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"I’m always on the lookout for the next source of interiors
inspiration that gets me mentally tearing up the kitchen and
rethinking all the tweaks and solutions I’ve been obsessing
about. Brooklyn Interiors has done the job. The book is a
broad sampling of the modern Brooklynite at home, in their
brownstones, lofts, duplexes, railroad apartments, and more."
-REMODELISTA.COM
"Technically, yes, Brooklyn is a borough, but at this point it’s
also an idea—in the world of design, that means reclaimed wood,
Edison bulbs, wrought iron fixtures. . . . [Brooklyn
Interiors] proves that Brooklyn doesn’t have to be defined by
any one interior aesthetic. Featuring homes ranging in
neighborhoods from Bed-Stuy to Clinton Hill to Ditmas Park, the
tome underscores the borough’s diversity—there’s a white-walled
bedroom accented with greys and blacks, and then another painted
yellow and green with a fish sculpture hanging over the bed."
-ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST
"Brooklyn Interiors is a brilliant page turner that is a must
for any interiors lover."
-INTERIOR CANVAS HOME
"Brooklyn may have overtaken Portland as the artisanal handmade
punchline around the globe, but it's a fact that it boasts an
authentic, renegade design spirit thanks to the plethora of
creatives who call the brough home. . . . Featuring everything from
condos and industrial lofts to cozy carriage houses and spacious
brownstones, [Brooklyn Interiors] gives design enthusiasts a
glimpse of the handcrafted style unique to the borough."
-MANHATTAN MAGAZINE
"From Rizzoli comes Brooklyn Interiors by Kathleen Hackett, a
compendium of 24 vibrant homes . . . With photographer Matthew
Williams, Hackett takes us on a tour that includes the homes of
artists, designers, foodies, photographers, magazine editors, and
multi-hyphenates of every variety, living in every type of abode,
from loft spaces in DUMBO to Italianate brownstones in Fort
Greene."
-NEW YORK SPACES
"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. . . . Nothing is too
precious, pricey or serious. Borrow as many ideas from the book as
you wish. Each page of Brooklyn Interiors is packed full of
visual information and ideas for the stealing. In fact, that is
what Hackett hopes will happen."
