Jay Jeffers is known for his sophisticated, elegant design style, which often blends classic and contemporary elements. His work showcases a keen eye for detail, using rich textures, bold colours, and unique furnishings to create warm and inviting spaces. Jay often incorporates art and custom pieces, emphasising a curated aesthetic that reflects his clientsโ€™ personalities.

From California to New York, the projects featured in Modern Classic illustrate the love and joy Jay finds in interiors. Whether a wine country estate in Calistoga, a contemporary dwelling in Dallas, a family cabin on Lake Michigan, or a bachelor pad in New York Cityโ€”each is elegant, luxurious, and liveable. The book also features The Madrona Hotel in Sonoma, of which Jay is the newest owner and which he has given an incredible design overhaul.
