In a small space, you want to keep the bedding as simple as possible so it looks clean, calm and collected.

I do shop online! But I'm shopping online mostly in the home categories - One Kings Lane and Gilt. At a lot of architectural websites, I buy a lot of hardware for cabinetry like hinges and things like that from England. So, you know, for me, I shop at Net-A-Porter, but I don't really shop that much for clothing online.

From Nate Berkus

I believe your home tells a story about who you are and who you aspire to be. We represent ourselves through the things we own. I don't believe in trends. I believe in collecting things that you connect with. We should surround ourselves with things we care about, that have meaning.

From Nate Berkus

Design, to me, is part psychology, part sociology, and part magic. A good decorator should know what's going on in someone's marriage and how their kids are doing in school.

From Nate Berkus

I made my parents crazy. As a kid, I redecorated my bedroom every month. I would literally save my allowance and go buy things.

From Nate Berkus

When you have a bunch of comfortable upholstered pieces, a single bronze or brass chair really turns the energy up.

From Nate Berkus

When you buy things that are expensive, like a sofa or something that really feels like an investment, you need to keep it as plain as possible, as simple as possible. Make sure that it's a clean design that will work with whatever style you want it to.

From Nate Berkus

Go outside! I mean, even leaves from a park are beautiful in a clear glass vase. I'd rather see that than fake anything any day.

From Nate Berkus

I hate sets. I've always hated sets. I think that if you have a dining room set, break it up!

From Nate Berkus

Color is a very personal thing. You need to make sure to choose a color that makes you happy. But I don't recommend accent walls - choose a color you can live with on all four walls.
