Synopsis
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A practical tour-de-force that shows anyone how to make a home both timeless and personal—from Nate Berkus, one of the world’s most influential designers.
In this beautifully crafted yet accessible book, Nate Berkus shares how to layer a home with character and history to make a space that is uniquely yours—on any budget. Whether redecorating a nook, a room, or starting from the ground up, you will learn how Nate decodes the Four Tenets of Good Design. Foundational, they apply to any home and all budgets and apply when choosing paint colors, matching hardware, assessing flooring, or deciding about furniture—and every other decision big and small that goes into putting a home together. The tenets are not a recipe to follow as much as they are ideas to get you started:
Make it Personal: Nate explains how to draw inspiration from the places you’ve been, what you love, and who you aspire to be at home.
Embrace History: Nate shows you how to think about objects and details that have stood the test of time. Every room Nate designs nods to history, and you don’t need a lot of money to embrace it.
Build Character: You can think big or small: architectural details, classic materials, and timeless finishes make a home stand out.
Develop a Vision: Nate guides you to harness inspiration for a look that embodies who you want to be at home and how you want to live.
For Nate Berkus, enduring design is honest, emotional, and tailored to the people who live in it. That means creating rooms that can grow and evolve with you. Foundations is inspiration and an open invitation for anyone with any kind of space to design a place that is unequivocally yours.
