Summary

Nate Berkus joins us to talk about the beautiful intersection between love, design, and the spaces we call home. He shares the story of how he met his husband Jeremia, and opens up about what it really takes to maintain a healthy relationship. We dive into how someone’s personal taste can shape attraction, what your home might reveal about your dating style, and the subtle green and red flags you can spot just by stepping into someone’s apartment. Nate also offers his take on manifesting love through your space, how to intentionally “design” a relationship that lasts, and even the one design trend he’d happily see disappear forever.
