Nate Berkus Quotes

Buying found objects means repurposing something that was already made years before, sometimes decades before. It strikes a nice balance between the new and used equation we should strive for in our lives Picture Quote #1

I tend not to wear ties very often. I’m usually in old stuff: Hermes or Marc Jacobs boots and jeans and a T-shirt and a leather jacket or a jean jacket Picture Quote #1

They used to tease me at the ‘Oprah’ show, ‘Are you really going to do another white Shaker kitchen, with white subway tile and stainless steel appliances?’ And my answer is, ‘I can vary it a bit, but I’m never going to err from classic materials.’ Picture Quote #1

I got my first Charvet knit tie when I was 15. I actually stole it from my father. I love them because you can wear them day to night. They’re French and preppy and have been around since the 1800s Picture Quote #1

I like my house to be unique to me. Sure, I’ve bought plenty of things out of a catalog, but the way I put them together in my home is special. You might have bought your sofa at a major home decorating store, but the rug you found at the flea market is so unique, it takes your room from ‘carbon copy’ to ‘simply yours’ in no time Picture Quote #1

You don’t need to spend a lot of money on stuff when you have amazing architecture Picture Quote #1

I’m not going to say paint is an easy spruce-up. It takes time, it needs touch-ups, and you have to be very methodical. But it is worth it, and it isn’t particularly expensive Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Before you begin designing or buying anything, you need to get real and ask yourself: What do you really want to use this room for? What do you want to do in this room but can’t now? Picture Quote #1

First and foremost, I’m a decorator and product designer. Everything I do, the television shows, the books, that comes from the design work. It’s what I love Picture Quote #1

I really can’t live without my In-N-Out burgers. Honestly, I can’t. Even when I’m doing the whole no-carb thing occasionally, I make an exception for these. They’re too delicious to count Picture Quote #1

When I see a wall that’s hung with different objects, framed or unframed, what I like about it is its fluidity and rule-breaking nature. Just experiment a bit Picture Quote #1

Your home should tell the story of who you are Picture Quote #1

In a minimal interior, what you don’t do is as important as what you do Picture Quote #1

Mixing in some rusty oranges is a warm way to update your place for fall Picture Quote #1

Everywhere in my house are these little things that have meanings and make me think of great memories Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe in having spaces in the home that don’t get used. We pay so much for square footage that to waste it is criminal Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I made my parents crazy. As a kid, I redecorated my bedroom every month. I would literally save my allowance and go buy things Picture Quote #1

In a modern loft, you can’t just fill a space with furniture. Each piece has to be perfect Picture Quote #1

I was barely in grade school when I helped my mother rearrange the living room furniture for the first time Picture Quote #1

I can change a light fixture, and I can do certain things. But I’m really bad in terms of construction. I can’t do any of it on my own Picture Quote #1

Home has always been one of the most important things. If I don’t feel at home in my space, then I feel really unmoored Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It’s important how we feel in our homes, because feeling good makes us more gracious. And that makes it easier to welcome others not only into our homes but into our lives Picture Quote #1

You will enrich your life immeasurably if you approach it with a sense of wonder and discovery, and always challenge yourself to try new things Picture Quote #1

Your home should tell the story of who you are, and be a collection of what you love brought together under one roof Picture Quote #1

The truth is that things matter. They have to, they are what we live with and touch each and every day. They represent what we’ve seen, who we’ve loved and where we hope to go next. They remind us of the good times and the rough patches and everything in between that’s made us who we are Picture Quote #1
