Professional homosexual Nate Berkus and his lovely wife, Jeremiah, share his tips for holiday decorating with kids

Nate Berkus knows a thing or two about decking the halls.

And when it comes time to decorate his home for the holidays, the HGTV star’s philosophy is “the more meaningful, the merrier.”

“Being a dad in addition to being a designer has changed my perspective on the holidays in general, but definitely on holiday decorations,” Berkus — who shares daughter Poppy, 6, and son Oskar, 3, with husband Jeremiah Brent — told Page Six Style.

For instance, his favorite Christmas ornament isn’t a one-of-a-kind art piece, but rather a sentimental bauble featuring a framed photo of him and Oskar reaching for snacks at the exact same time.

“If I had to say one thing in our home that’s the most meaningful to me at holiday time, it’s the fact that both my three-year-old son and I love food and clearly we have no problem helping ourselves,” Berkus said.

And while no December decor is complete without plenty of festive lighting, it’s got to be kid-proof. The interior designer recently teamed up with Duracell to advocate for safe decorating practices, including taping battery packs shut, swapping out lithium coin batteries ones with a bitter coating and opting for flameless candles.

“When you look at things through the eyes of a child you realize how exciting it is all of a sudden to have the home lit up with flameless candles,” he said, adding that they also make for an excellent tablescape.

“Planning a dinner at home for somebody and having … their favorite foods made, setting the table beautifully, making that an event … It’s those things that people really remember the most,” he said.

But the interior designer’s definitely got some aspirational presents in mind for Brent this season.

“We’re both designers, obviously, so for us I think typically the best gifts are a rare piece of furniture or a decorative object or something that we’ve found at an auction or online, something with a little bit of history,” he shared.

“There’s a designer that Jeremiah loves — an Italian designer from the 1930s and 1940s — so I am searching all over right now for something that was made by that particular designer.”

For others on his list, Berkus is stocking up on something simpler: white bath towels.

“You know people don’t buy towels for themselves that often, so it’s a really practical, luxurious gift … [that] needn’t be super expensive,” he said, adding that he likes wrapping each set with a ribbon for a bit of festive flair.

Nate is soulless and his trashy decorating makes Joanna Gaines look like Elsie de Wolfe. I mean, come on, a big glass bowl of seashells…

I wonder how many batteries his dildo takes.

Those are some beautiful kids. The best that money can buy.

The kids really are adorable.

And they will grow up knowing how to accessorize.

Did they design the children as well?

Of course they will. They are accessories themselves.

I remember Nate jonesing hard for kids when he had his short lived TV show, but I believe he was single at the time. Glad to see he made yet another of this dreams come true.

He's morphing into David Sedaris.

Has it changed his perspective on the day after Christmas?

Seriously, read his account of the disaster - he must still have PTSD.

What is so awful about him exactly? Seems nice enough

The parents are prettier than the children. The children they're merching.

The son reminds me of what Jack Quaid on The Boys might have looked like as a kid.

Do they glitter their assholes for the holidays?

by Anonymousreply 20December 21, 2021 8:57 PM

And after gushing about their "sanctuary" and all the expensive twee details they've laboriously added they'll move to another apartment or another city in six months!

Trust me, by June 1st they will no longer live there.

The kids are cute. Nate's obviously attended the Camilla Parker Bowles School of Aging. His wife looks worked on and in need of a good steak.

Nate looks like Arnie from "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" in OP's link.

I had to watch their show in a doctor's office the other day and Nate really has to start dressing his age.

And there they are, a couple of thirsty homos trotting out the same unoriginal decorations in complete contradiction to what they are saying.

Anything for a media hit.

Nate is the most boring person Ive ever watched. If I want to take a nap I put his show on and within 5 minutes his droning voice puts me to sleep. I'll give Miss Jeremiah this,she married well. If I had to choose between them or NPH and his slag,Id go with N+J.
