Since appearing as a guest on Oprah in 2002, interior designer Nate Berkus (nateberkusdesign.com) has become a beloved household name in his own right. Although his eponymous TV show ended this spring after two seasons, he doesn’t show any signs of stopping with his latest projects: a 150-piece collection of affordable home decor ($6–$150) for Target (locations throughout the city; visit target.com), which hits shelves on October 21, and a stunning coffee-table book called The Things That Matter (out Tuesday 16 from Spiegel & Grau, $35), in which he profiles 14 gorgeous yet lived-in spaces, including those of notable New Yorkers such as style blogger Kelly Framel, socialite Fabiola Beracasa, sex therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer and his own West Village pad. “It’s about filling your home with items that resonate with or speak to you, and not necessarily about stuff that already comes with a history,” he says. “Sometimes it’s just about finding objects that make what you already own feel a little bit more important.” In that spirit, we had the thrift hound—who estimates that 90 percent of the items he uses in design projects are vintage—take us shopping in the East Village to show us how it’s done.

Nate Berkus is best known from his days as a recurring guest on Oprah, but he continues to make a name for himself with his latest book, The Things That Matter, and an affordable home-decor collection for Target. We took the interior designer shopping in the East Village, at indie shops White Trash, Archangel Antiques, A Repeat Performance, Still House and Obscura Antiques & Oddities, to uncover home decor that adds character to one’s abode.
