{Books} Nate Berkus – The Things That Matter

Nate Berkus has a way of putting objects together with ease and simplicity. In his newest book The Things That Matter the focus is on creating a home that matters to you, what’s important to you and taking it to the next level by decorating your home to your style and taste. I can’t wait to get my hands on this book! Nate says it best here in the Huffington Post article where he discusses the process and inspiration of this book:

When I walk into your home, I want to be able to immediately know something about you… maybe you love fashion, or like to collect photography or you’re crazy about Africa and have visited many times. Whatever it is, just by sitting in your living room I can already tell a lot about who you are and who you aspire to be… because the things you’ve chosen to include show me that. The most beautiful interiors are not necessarily the most expensive.

Book Description {Amazon}

Does your home tell the story of who you are? In The Things That Matter, Nate Berkus shares intimate stories from his life, introduces us to people who influenced him and helped him forge his sense of style, and opens up about the remarkable experiences that have left him forever changed, all of which find expression in how he lives today. From his most cherished flea market finds, to his beloved books and photos, to the many extraordinary mementos he’s collected in his travels, every piece defines who he’s become and what endures in his world. Berkus invites readers into his own home as well as into twelve others, including a sleek steel-and-glass high-rise that soars above Chicago, a rustic cottage in the Hudson Valley, an ultra-chic atelier that maximizes every inch of space, a Greenwich Village townhouse that holds multiple art collections, and a study in meaningful minimalism in Marfa, Texas. The distinctive interiors beautifully displayed in this book offer revealing portraits of their owners’ lives and the inspiring choices that have made them who they are today. The Things That Matter convincingly lays out Nate Berkus’s philosophy that things do matter. Our homes tell our stories, they reflect the places we’ve been and the people we’ve loved along the way—and there can be no more beautiful design for living than that.
