Tripoli Bath Accessories
I adore the Tripoli bath accessories–they’re playful in shape and juxtaposition and a little nod to Memphis. The mixed marbles add depth and interest.

Nuage Ultra Plush Towels
I love the topaz blue and you can never go wrong with a nice white towel. It’s a towel you just want to sink into.

- Kassatex: A bathroom must always include:
- Young Huh: Really, really great towels.

- Kassatex: How important is it to fully design a room, accent pieces to major elements, or do you allow a room to grow with evolving tastes and items.
- Young Huh: Both! I think you have to conceive of the accessories and finishing touches from the get go; I design with pillows, tabletop, boxes, throws, bedding in mind from the very start. You also need to leave space to collect and adjust over time and through the seasons.
- Kassatex: Forever favorite Hotel:
- Young Huh: Ett Hem in Sweden – the hotel is perfectly accessorized, every detail and touch makes you feel like you’re in someone’s incredibly welcoming, comfortable and luxurious home: gorgeous and interesting collections of items, the perfect throw, the perfect book, etc.

- Kassatex: 3 decor trends you wish would disappear:
- Young Huh: I’m definitely preferring luxe bohemian over crafty bohemian. I wouldn’t mind seeing fewer rooms that are entirely mid-century modern and colorless.
- Kassatex: A favorite cost-effective brand you love to use when mixing high/low:
- Young Huh: Williams Sonoma and CB2; they both have great design.
- Kassatex: Most exciting moment of your career thus far:
- Young Huh: It was definitely 2019 and I’m so very grateful! Our Kips Bay Decorators Show House room had such momentum and it was the first year I was included in Elle Décor’s A List.
