THIS WEEK’S At Home With features the Brooklyn home of Somin Yoo (@sominyoo), a designer and ceramicist who lives in the cozy residential Boerum Hill neighbourhood located in the northwestern part of the city. Not only is it a relaxed, homey tree-lined area of brownstones and townhouses, but Yoo’s home is every bit as chic a space as you might imagine someone with a Bachelor of Arts in History of Art from Yale might live. While Yoo’s work explores traditional Korean forms as an homage to her heritage, her home is a mix of modern and midcentury, with crown moulding and boiserie as the perfect backdrop for her impeccable style. There’s a giant comfy-looking linen sofa that grounds the space, with beautiful table lamps scattered about and a record player sitting coolly on a teak sideboard nearby. Outside, there are trendy bars and restaurants, as well as independent shops along Atlantic Avenue and Smith Street, creating the perfect village vibe. Scroll through for a glimpse of Somin Yoo’s interior style…
