Tour the 2024 Showhouse with Ellen Hamilton

In her role as co-founder and co-curator, Ellen speaks about how the showhouse is a catalyst for emerging designers to showcase their best work.

I loved doing the Brooklyn Showhouse, partly because the scale of the house felt so human to me. The room we did felt like a room I had been in before - imperfect, but grand enough to create something beautiful.

- Bella Mancini, Designer
There is a special kind of magic at the Brooklyn Heights Showhouse, from the warm community of supportive designers to the way it completely leveled up my business. It helped me build lasting relationships with vendors and press that have opened so many new doors for my firm.

- Rebecca Amir, Designer
I love the Brooklyn Showhouse for several reasons. It’s an invitation to the interior design industry to experience Brooklyn’s finest and historical homes and offers an opportunity to invite designers to experiment with a design vision that is new and fresh. Most importantly, it speaks to the Brooklyn homeowner to how the impact of design elevates their homes and the experience of living.

- Honorary Chair, Leyden Lewis, Designer
As a design editor and writer, I never miss the Brooklyn Showhouse. The team has a knack for identifying rising design talents before they become stars. Every space is filled with creativity and ideas you want to bring home.
