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.

The 1750 four-storey, 19 room hotel is located in Lisbon’s Chiado quarter and features stunning views over the Tagus River and Atlantic Ocean.
Architectural historian and interior decorator Edward Bulmer's red-bricked Queen Anne house in Herefordshire is a study in charm with its walls of turquoise, sea green and pink, a Chippendale carved mahogany four-poster bed here, eighteenth-century painted Chinese wallpaper there, silk sari curtains and carefully thought after details...
