When he’s not in New York with Nate Berkus and the kids or off filming a TV show, Jeremiah Brent is probably in Portugal. For the past three years, the interior designer couple have been fixing up an old farmhouse that’s got charm to spare. One of the relics they’ve uncovered during the renovation is an old 18th-century tapestry, left behind by the previous owners. “It’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen, but with just a light touch, it could crumble,” says Brent.
With his first Tempaper & Co. launch, Brent proved that his eye for detail is so good he could recreate the look of parchment paper, vintage checkerboard tile, grasscloth, and sisal on rolls of peel-and-stick wallpaper—and win a 2025 Domino Good Design Award for the effort. Now, he’s done it again, this time using that storied Portuguese tapestry as inspiration. The design, Antique Arras, is just one of six new styles in his second collection with the brand. Take a peek.
Cozy Up to More Sisal Colors
When Brent first designed Hoffmann, a diamond sisal pattern, he imagined it in endless shades. This year, he broadened the assortment to include olive green, cream, and black. “Sisal is a material I’ve been incorporating into my designs since the beginning—from lampshades to rugs, it’s a grounding texture that feels organic yet refined. Bringing that same quality to walls felt natural,” shares Brent.
If you’re gravitating toward the inky black version, lean in even further. “A textured black is more grounding and less stark than you’d think,” says Brent. His suggestion? Try it on just the ceiling or in a small powder room to get a feel for it. “Once you layer in art, accessories, and furniture, you might be surprised at how balanced and warm it can make a space feel,” he adds.

Faux Grasscloth Parquet Textured Peel and Stick Wallpaper by Jeremiah Brent
Brown is enjoying its moment in the limelight on every surface, from sofas to kitchen cabinets, but Brent’s grasscloth wallpaper take is a reminder that the color is especially timeless when combined with a classic motif. “I tend to reach for a grasscloth herringbone when designing bedrooms and studies. It’s calming, classic, and easy to layer,” he says.
Look to Nature
Brent’s advice for balancing out the busyness of his tapestry-inspired pattern? “I’d pair it with clean-lined glass and iron shelving and simple, tailored upholstery,” the designer shares. Unsurprisingly, it would be right at home in a European farmhouse.
