Peanut Buster Parfaits and How to Master High/Low in Design with Nate Berkus

Katie talks with her longtime friend, Nate Berkus, New York-based interior designer extraordinaire. Nate and Katie gush over their mutual love of Dairy Queen, deeming it truly the Queen of fast casual chains (thanks to the Peanut Buster Parfait). They reveal their fantasy adventure of having a multi-course fast food meal together to indulge their guiltiest cravings. Nate and Katie reminisce about their previous design projects together and Nate gives his tips for making a kitchen go from good to great. Nate shares his top design strategy of using the ‘high/low’ mentality, with functionality at the core. Nate reveals he’s working on a new television design show, as well as a book, and shares the inspiration behind the furniture collection he and his husband, Jeremiah Brent, design with Living Spaces.
