Saturday morning we caught up with Nate Berkus at O: The Oprah Magazine’s O You! Conference at the Georgia World Congress Center…
What is one tip for softening a loft and making it more ‘home-y’?
Yeah, for me the right way to live in a loft is all about the floorplan – how you place the furniture. So, it’s kind of the one interior situations where I feel like looking at the back of the sofa is good.
I’m also very careful to deal with different things of different heights in a loft, because typically the ceilings are very high. So it’s important not to have everything just the same height as the back of the sofa, or the top of the dining table.
A couple of pieces that are larger like bookcases or consoles or things like that really read well, and also things of large scale, like a great big vintage mirror in a modern loft over a console table, I always love.”
What about lighting?
That’s that moment where you’ve got to bring the lighting down. So a pair of lamps on a side table or on a server in the dining area, floor lamps, things like that – you want to be able to control the intimacy a little bit better.”
From O You:
What’s the quickest legal route to joy?
An early morning run, followed by breakfast and great conversation.
What makes you still?
When I stumble upon a particularly truthful or moving passage in a book.
What’s the hardest truth to tell?
Telling someone you no longer trust them.
What words do you live by?
What is the lesson here?
What’s left on your ‘To Do’ list?
I’m renovating an apartment for myself at the moment. It will take a forest of paper!
What’s the one thing that’s always overrated?
Fame.
What’s the most daring thing you’ve done?
Overcome my fear of fish to learn how to snorkel.
What do you ask yourself most often?
‘What is really going on here?’
What do you know for sure?
Everyone has as story. Your home should tell the story of who you are and who you aspire to be.
