"This was something that we struggled with when we first got married," he says. We gather in their stunning kitchen (which, I'm told, is the most-used room in the house), and suddenly Poppy dances by with a black puppy plush toy that is the spitting image of their 12-year-old family dog, Tucker. She's in the middle of training the toy to perform tricks and throws a ball for it to fetch.

Avid fans of the designers may know that the couple likes to work with metal details throughout their projects. Throughout their Manhattan apartment, the couple has incorporated gold and brass details. For example, you can find custom-built brass faucets in the kitchen and bathroom. You can also find brass cabinet knobs and brass stove features in the kitchen. In the kitchen, the walls’ subway tiles were removed, the black cabinetry is now white, and the butcher block on the countertops and the brass wrapping the island have been replaced with Calacatta Paonazzo marble. And while the public rooms are bathed in creamy neutrals that allow the architectural details and furniture to star, the bedrooms feature bold wallpapers that cocoon their inhabitants.

Plus, they get candid about love, family, and working together.

He slipped a note under the door of their downstairs neighbour, who was willing to sell only if the couple find them an apartment in the building to buy—which Brent promptly did, searching floor by floor until all the pieces fell into place. "It's a blend of his modernity and rule breaking, with my sort of traditionalism and crazy auction-house encyclopedic furniture history that lives in my brain," he says. The couple decided to sell their Big Apple townhouse — for a reported $13.5 million last August — and make an offer on their old home.

Domino claims Brent swears by braided straw pendants he found on Etsy, saying he uses them in their home, both indoors and outdoor. While mirrors bounce light and add an artistic flair, they're also a great way to warm up an industrial or cold space. The couple used mirrors all over their house as eye-catching design points, such as this art deco mirror that sits over the fireplace in their bedroom sitting room.

During their home tour, Brent explained to Architectural Digestthat their job as designers was "to give it some soul again." This resulted in Brent immediately designing an eye-catching two-story wall-to-wall bookshelf cast in white oak. The couple also likes to decorate with paintings and sculptures from their friends and their travels throughout the years, many of which are found on their bookshelves, bedrooms, or living room space. Berkus told his fans on Instagramthat all of the pieces in Poppy's room were given as gifts from close family friends when she was born.

When they moved back East they let go of a 9,000-square-foot home there that had once called their "forever home." They sold that property in March 2019 for $11.4 million. " one chapter ended, and a new chapter is starting," Berkus, 50, says as he closes the curtains in the old townhouse, remembering all of the happy times they had there as a family. The RH bed in a cotton canvas by Mood Fabrics is accompanied by a Michael Hainey bird painting, a 19th-century English painted chest of drawers, a 1950s Swedish floor lamp and a carpet from Stark. The one last hurdle—for Berkus, at least—was that the majority of the family’s furniture, some of which had travelled with him for decades, ended up being part of the sale of the town house.

They included elements from their former homes

Berkus and Brent are known in the design community for their love of vintage and curated pieces. Throughout all their homes, the designers have brought a multi-century vibe and showcased their collection of vintage knick-knacks. Their New York penthouse features many different elements from different style points of history. The furniture throughout their home is largely curated with pieces from the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. The couple is known for transforming homes of well-deserving families on TLC and their own gorgeous homes in L.A.

The duo is married with kids and they share a television show “Nate & Jeremiah By Design”, which first launched in 2017 on TLC network. In 2018, Nate and Jeremiah successfully debuted their exclusive furniture line with Living Spaces. Sophisticated tweaks and clever fixes shaved weeks off the already abbreviated construction schedule. Rather than gut the kitchen, for example, Berkus retained the existing countertops and cabinets, having the latter painted a high-gloss black and crowned with moldings and ordering up matching panels to conceal the exposed washer and dryer.

Brent tells me it was seeing this tree that compelled them to sign on the dotted line to make this house their own. "I could just envision our daughter climbing it, and I was sold," he says. This is where we take our first shot of the day, and it left the whole crew glassy-eyed and emotional. Quick changes are second nature to interior decorator Nate Berkus.

In Architectural Digest's October cover story, the HGTV stars show off their newly designed NYC apartment — a place they called home once before. The couple collaborated on the renovation and design of the contemporary property, and took a carefree approach to the decorating process. Berkus and Brent, who have two small children, Poppy and Oskar, bought the 1899 townhouse in 2019 for $9.75 million, according to property records. The gut-renovated townhouse, which has been featured in Architectural Digest, is at 66 Charles St. Nate and Jeremiah have designed a new collection of habitats, furniture and accessories for PetSmart.

Their love is spellbinding and it certainly captured the entire MyDomaine crew. “I am surrounded by memories of what I’ve done, where I’ve been, and whom I’ve loved,” Berkus says. Nate Berkus in the dining room of his Manhattan duplex, in front of a custom-designed bookcase by Carlos Huber. It also features unique touches like driftwood repurposed as beams. The gated home includes a pool, a pool house, a sauna and even a chicken coop. The modern residence comes with koi ponds, a stone mosaic fireplace and a paint-splattered living room.

Since 2017, Berkus has co-hosted the TLC reality design series Nate & Jeremiah by Design, alongside his husband Jeremiah Brent. They did so using decor that has stayed with the family from New York to L.A. And back again — including some picture frames that Berkus says have been in every home he has lived in for the past 15 years. "Our old living room had 30 pieces of furniture," Berkus explains. Looking around the house, you can also quickly decipher that they're both fairly color-averse, erring on the side ofneutrals with a hint of greige .Regarding color preferences, Berkus skews darker and moodier while Brent generally skews lighter and brighter.

For PEOPLE’s 2019 Sexiest Man Alive issue in November, Brent gushed about Berkus, revealing when he finds his husband sexiest. A mix of old and new, it boasts an Italianite landmarked facade and an open, double-height parlor floor with a glass curtain wall. I’m excited to share Beautyrest® by Nate Berkus, a limited edition sleep collection.
