Nate Berkus’ Newly Refined Apartment


A great way to update your home’s interiors and keep your space looking new and fresh is to constantly re-arrange your existing furniture and this is an idea that interior designer Nate Berkus wholeheartedly embraces.

Needless to say I was beyond delighted to pick up the September issue of Elle Decor and see Nate’s Chicago apartment on the cover looking more refined than ever. In honor of his home’s…
