Interior designer and television host Jeremiah Brent explores the emotional meaning of home in
this warm and inviting home decor book that illuminates what make peoples' spaces so personally
significant. For many of us our houses are more than just where we hold our belongings. They
are reflections of who we are and where we've been. They represent our aesthetics our
personalities - provide us with purpose and intention and if we're lucky a safe space to live
and create. For years Jeremiah Brent and his family lived in one beautiful home after the
next. Yet after a short time they always felt the pull to move on. Curious to understand why
he embarked on a deeply personal mission to discover what makes a home a space that keeps you.
The Space That Keeps You isn't just a study of beautiful interior design it's an emotional
design book that explores what gives spaces meaning. Through candid conversations with nine
individuals and families varying in backgrounds lifestyles and geographic locations Jeremiah
reveals how and why the spaces we inhabit come to feel like they truly belong to us-the
memories emotions and inspiring personal stories that shape what home signifies. He
introduces memorable people like the artist couple James and Alexandra Brown and their children
who made an abandoned plot in Merida Mexico their accidental paradise and Tracy and Brian
Robbins who found refuge during the pandemic in a serene single-story home in Montecito
surrounded by fields of lavender. He illuminates a personal side of Oprah Winfrey as she speaks

Arrivabene who fought to hold onto their family's historic Venetian palazzo. Their stories are
bookended by Jeremiah's recollections of his own journey defining home with his husband fellow
interior designer and television personality Nate Berkus and their two children. Filled with
