Jeremiah Brent’s Target Bedding Collection Ends the Pillow Debate

Jeremiah Brent Brings His Design Vision to Target

Jeremiah Brent, a renowned interior designer and star of Queer Eye, has recently unveiled his latest project: an 80-plus piece bedding collection for Target. The collaboration is set to launch on January 18, with nearly all items priced under $100.

"I’ve always believed that home should really be an expression of your story," Brent shared in an exclusive interview. "When Target approached me about creating a collection, it was really exciting because we are aligned on our philosophy with design. These are multifunctional pieces that have a lot of gentle hues that nod to nature. There’s an understated elegance."

Brent emphasized his deep involvement in the creation of the collection. "I was involved in every stitch, every texture, every line," he said. "There’s French ’30s and ’20s, there’s traditional… I really wanted it to feel like you could go in there and curate whatever felt personal to you."

Comfort was also a top priority for Brent. He described the bedding as "very soft" and added, "You’re not going to be exfoliating while you’re sleeping in them." His goal was to create something "you could really cozy up in."

A Partnership Built on Compromise

Brent, who has been married to fellow designer Nate Berkus for over a decade, spoke about how they have learned to balance their different aesthetics. "I like a very monastic bed where it looks like I’m living in a convent with one beautifully placed oversized coverlet," he joked. "My husband likes lots of pillows. We’ve come to a nice medium."

When asked about the ideal number of pillows, Brent said, "I like two to three. That feels really comfortable. There are people who have eight or nine pillows. It’s like, where do they go at night? Where do you put them?"

Looking Ahead to the Final Season of Queer Eye

Brent is also preparing for the release of the final season of Queer Eye on Netflix. The season was filmed last summer in Washington D.C., and Brent described the experience as deeply emotional.

"We have some of the most amazing heroes we’ve met yet, and it really is just like hanging out with your family," he said of working alongside Antoni Porowski, Jonathan Van Ness, Karamo Brown, and Tan France. "Watching my friends do what they do and to see the purpose and the passion, it just never gets old."

The final day of filming was "so emotional," according to Brent. He reflected on how much he has grown since joining the show for its final two seasons. "I came on to the show to try and help in any way to change somebody’s life, but what I didn’t expect is how much it would change my own and help renew my sense of purpose and reclaim parts of my passion that I forgot about," he said. "It was a beautiful goodbye."
