Interior Designer Nate Berkus Designs to Share a Personal Journey
WRITTEN BY: TAMARA PHILIPS | PHOTOGRAPHED BY: NATASHA LEE STYLED BY: DESI AGUILAR | GROOMING BY: BRIE LEACH
Originally an Orange County native, design mogul N A T E B E R K U S has been designing as an East Coast man and a West Coast man throughout his lifetime, and finally this year, he made the decision to create his family nest in Southern California with husband, Jeremiah Brent and daughter, Poppy. It’s the perfect sunny corner of the country to continue his role as Artistic Advisor at LG Studio; his booming interior design firm, Nate Berkus Associates; his line at Target; and his new TV show “Married to Design.” “The thing I love and what I’m really grateful for, is that I’ve been able to build a business around what I prefer to do on a Sunday afternoon,” Nate says. “So, for me, it’s when your true love is combing through antique shops and moving things around in a space until you find a balance that feels right to you, and you get to do that for a living every day, I think that’s a really great thing.”
