Jeremiah Brent Transforms an NYC Apartment from Basic to Breathtaking | Architectural Digest

Celebrity designer Jeremiah Brent (The Rachel Zoe Project and The View) used color and texture to lend warmth and intimacy to a cookie-cutter home in NYC's the West Village.

Despite the frequent television appearances and occasional magazine feature on his sweet family, Jeremiah Brent remains first and foremost a designer. His passion for interiors is palpable.

Brent is the host of OWN’s Home Made Simple and will star in TLC’s Nate & Jeremiah By Design with husband Nate Berkus.

Naturally, the decorator put his own personal design beliefs to use in the overhaul of a spare 2,500-square-foot New York apartment for a Nicaraguan family that values both function and style. First on the agenda: creating a space that felt unique to the clients while maximizing the space to accommodate their lifestyle.

Brent incorporated paneling along the ceiling, which imparts subtle texture and a soothing sense of warmth in a dining nook off the kitchen, a space that’s versatile enough to serve as dinner-party site and reading perch. He also built bookcases along one wall and a hallway that you can close off for privacy, and installed glass-and-iron doors to create a moody, inviting foyer that he says “grounds you when you walk in the door.” And a room Brent refers to as the “James Bond office” doubles as a guest room and is enclosed by glass doors that, with the touch of a button, go cloudy to establish privacy for visitors.

Another element that made the apartment’s transformation possible was Brent’s innovative use of saturated hues. He continued the shade onto the drapery and the sofa’s upholstery to create a cohesive cocooning effect. A pair of vintage Joseph-André Motte chairs reupholstered in a burnt-orange Lee Jofa velvet add a layer of sumptuousness that deepens the cozy feel. The sense of continuity carries into a muted gray guest room, a space that underscores both the atmosphere of refuge that pervades the residence and the personality of the family that lives there.

A table by Andrianna Shamaris anchors the dining nook off the kitchen, where vintage 1950s school chairs sit across from a banquette topped with cushions upholstered in a Pierre Frey fabric.

A mirrored backsplash adds contemporary flair to the built-in bookshelves Brent installed along the wall opposite the dining nook.

In the living room, the custom sofa is upholstered in an indigo Schumacher fabric that coordinates with the walls and drapery, which is a gauzy Nate Berkus for Fabricut textile.

A pair of vintage Joseph-André Motte chairs are reupholstered in a burnt-orange velvet from Lee Jofa. The custom console conceals a flat-screen television that rises up from a flap in the piece’s uppermost surface.

The guest room is dominated by a Room & Board bed dressed in cozy linens; the chair is from Galerie Bachman, and the nightstands are by Interlude Home.

To reference the wall of windows in the living room, Brent installed iron-and-glass doors off the kitchen to create an intimate entry. “It’s a really nice space that grounds you when you walk in the door,” he says. Moody black walls add to the enveloping effect.
