About 80 percent of the stuff I live with is old. I like letting things take on the character theyโre meant to have by really being used. โฆ when you own things that have the imperfections they deserve, that theyโve earned from a well-lived life, it frees you from feeling as though theyโre untouchable.
Nate BerkusI've always felt that color is intrinsically personal. It evokes a tremendous amount of emotion. If there's a color you respond to, that's something you can incorporate into your home. No one can tell you it's wrong.
Nate BerkusYou can change the feel of your sofa by adding a thick, cozy throw and playing a couple of classic pillows off a more Moroccan-inspired one.
Nate BerkusI 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.
