If you’re planning a spring shopping spree, Nate Berkus has other ideas. Let’s stop that. The designer is resolutely anti-trend, focusing on editing, refining, and investing in pieces that actually last, rather than piling on new decorations.
Nate Berkus says you shouldn’t focus on spring or summer 2026 trends. Important items to buy are things you’ll use for a lifetime, such as a high-quality sofa, candlestick holder, and gold-plated mirror. Don’t skimp on table top decoration. Now is the perfect time to invest in things like napkin rings and stemware. Nate’s Chessmen Cookie Board will go on sale April 22 and April 29 at 10 a.m. ET.
But that doesn’t mean your home won’t feel seasonal and fresh. From vintage finds to tabletop essentials that are guaranteed to instantly liven up any gathering, interior designers share exactly what’s worth buying right now and what to skip.
And in a rare exception to his “buy less” mentality, he collaborated with Pepperidge Farm to create a blend of entertainment and timeless design. It’s a limited edition Chessman cookie board inspired by his love of classic patterns.
Fans can visit ChessmenCookieBoard.com to pre-order the exclusive Pepperidge Farm x Nate Berkus Chessmen Cookie Board for $60 in two limited drops while supplies last. Drops will be released on April 22nd and April 29th at 10am ET.
