If there’s anyone who knows what items can turn a house into a home, it’s Jeremiah Brent. The designer and his husband, Nate Berkus, have created an entire collection of good things for Living Spaces, and at home Brent fills their space with good scents, inspiring coffee-table tomes, and reclaimed tiles. Here are a few of his favorite things.

I have always believed that everything you use at home can and should be beautiful. Displaying pretty soaps is a simple way to do just that in the kitchen.

One of my favorite things that we’ve done is retiling our floors with a bit of real history. There are incredible reclaimed tiles at 1stdibs and Paris Ceramics.
