Any time Nate Berkus or his partner Jeremiah Brent share their decorating advice, I am all ears. The expert interior design pair are pros at nailing down the little details that make a home feel seriously stylish yet perfectly personal. In one of Nate's recent Instagram posts, he shared his favorite table-setting tricks, just in time for the holidays. From mismatched glassware to hand-woven placemats, his list is made up of things we likely already have in our cabinets, making it easy as ever to replicate.
When it comes to basic table setting, there are different etiquettes, rules, and ways of styling your dinnerware. Are you more of a placemat or tablecloth person? Do you bring out the dessert forks after the meal or arrange them as part of the initial setup? And while those are classic conundrums, there was one detail that Nate mentioned that caught me by surprise: "I always put a bread plate at the top," he says.
