A good Netflix binge is basically a holiday tradition, and this season, the latest installment of Queer Eye was prime marathon material. The reason? Domino-favorite designer Jeremiah Brent is in the mix, bringing his signature blend of impeccable style and heartfelt charm. Brent’s appearance feels like a gift, but if you’ve made it to season 9, episode 9, you already know there’s more where that came from. The designer also shared his tried-and-true hack for hiding a TV—perfect for anyone looking to keep their space mostly screen-free.
The first time we spotted Brent’s particular system for concealing a television was on his HGTV show with his husband Nate Berkus, The Nate and Jeremiah Home Project. The pair sourced a vintage tapestry from Chairish and affixed an electronic Roman blind to the back, creating a functional (and gorgeous) cover. When the tapestry is hung over the screen, the TV disappears into the design. “I have a similar system in our conference room at JBD – it’s such a chic way to disguise larger fixtures at home,” Brent says in an Instagram post about the project.
Fast-forward to Queer Eye, when Brent transforms the home of Sara, a hardworking single mom of three, into the ultimate refuge. The biggest scene-stealer? The revamped living room, where Brent reimagines his now-iconic TV trick. Using a textured, modern tapestry, he gives the family a space that’s equally suited for movie nights and screen-free hangouts. It’s Brent at his best: thoughtful, practical, and a touch theatrical.
If you’re inspired to recreate this magic in your own home, start with a Roman blind (a good local tailor can whip one up). The real challenge is finding the perfect tapestry. Here are a few to get you started.
