The interior designer and author selects unique artisan home goods and vintage treasures for those whose love language is thoughtful gifting

With offices on both coasts and a long list of celebrity clients, designer Jeremiah Brent has cultivated a specific style that speaks to today’s elevated taste. His artfully layered interiors are the epitome of quiet luxury, with decadent materials, a calming palette of earthy neutrals, and sophisticated accents that imbue spaces with character and personality. Its an aesthetic he’s honed at his Los Angeles boutique, Atrio, which is stocked with marble furnishings and objects, nubby textiles, exquisite tableware, and sartorial finds.

However, a quick tour through his portfolio hints that the dashing designer has a romantic side as well: A Palm Beach residential project is described as “a love story,” he crafted a tailored interior for the Los Angeles restaurant Juliet, and his upcoming book, The Space That Keeps You, ultimately became a love letter to his family.

Here, Brent shares some Valentine’s Day suggestions for those whose love language is thoughtful gifting.

“A little upgrade for your bedside fixtures—my friend Giberto makes these gorgeous switches that can be integrated with existing lighting. I love the idea of gifting something that most wouldn’t indulge in for themselves.”

“One of my favorite duos: Atrio’s signature scent, Smudge, paired with the custom marble vessel. With bordeaux veining, the viola vessel feels festive without being too specific to the holiday.”
