Description
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 those that influenced him and helped him forge his sense of style, and opens up about the remarkable experiences that have left him eternally changed, all of which find expression in how he lives as of late. From his most cherished flea market finds, to his beloved books and photos, to the many ordinary mementos he’s collected in his travels, each piece defines who he’s turn into and what endures in his world.
Berkus invites readers into his own home in addition to 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 each inch of space, a Greenwich Village townhouse that holds more than one 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’re as of late.
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 may also be no more beautiful design for living than that.
