JJ Redick’s Brooklyn tour makes a small room the big attraction

A former warehouse does not have to look like a warehouse forever. JJ Redick's Brooklyn apartment tour is an invitation to get a little more adventurous with the rooms you already have.

Architectural Digest released the visit in October 2019. The apartment sits within a former industrial building in DUMBO. The official tour points out a Lacanche range and a powder room with wallpaper inspired by Louis Vuitton. It is an unexpectedly playful pairing for a basketball home tour. Watch the original AD episode.

The powder-room idea is the one worth taking away. A small room can carry a big pattern without requiring you to commit the entire house to it. You shut the door, and the experiment stays there. For anyone who keeps saving bold interiors and then buying another beige cushion, that is a manageable place to start.

The kitchen offers a different kind of temptation: picking one substantial object you would actually enjoy using, then letting the rest of the room support it. Whether you would cook more often is a separate question, and probably the one to answer before shopping.

This is the Brooklyn apartment Redick showed viewers in 2019. Start the tour, pick one detail you would keep, and see whether you can resist choosing that wallpaper. A little room with a big personality can be more memorable than another enormous living room.
