Nate Berkus Just Named This Interior Style as His Main Design Influence (and It May Come as a Surprise)

A split image with a headshot of Nate Berkus and a photo of a dining space with white walls, crown molding, and a bistro table.

Nate Berkus is, without a doubt, one of our biggest style influences here at Livingetc, but where does a great design mind like his find their own sources of inspiration? Well, he's revealed exactly that in a recent Instagram video, and his lesser-known answer might surprise you.

Known for his sophisticated designs that blend old and new for a timeless, transitional style, some key cornerstones underpin Nate's work. High ceilings with decorative crown molding, mixed materials that offer contrastive textures, and aged wooden furniture are all common sights. They're also features that were central to a particular era - French interior design in the Mid-Century. It's this distinctive style that Nate just cited as his main influence, and it's given us lots to think about.
