Designer Nate Berkus Reveals What’s on His Father’s Day Gift List
Drawn to everything from "quiet luxury" fashion to vintage treasures, the style-setting designer offers his curated list for all types of dads
For more than 25 years, designer Nate Berkus has been crafting decadent interiors that look like they’ve been collected over time. His impeccable spaces layer delicious neutrals with textural aplomb, like herringbone wood floors or plaster walls with opaque swirls that reveal the artisan’s hand, all of it complemented by creative furniture and lighting that whisper quiet luxury.
It’s a hard to resist the aesthetic he’s channeled into residential interiors, books, collections of home goods, and other métier, which have of course drawn legions of followers and accolades. So when cultivating a list of perfect presents for Father’s Day, he’s got an acute eye for stylish pieces that are sure to please.
Here, Berkus suggests his ideas for gifts for all types of dads (pet parents included).
Billie Todd Cashmere Polo Shirt
“This cashmere blend polo is classic and stylish. A guaranteed wardrobe staple for any dad.”
Silver Picture Frame
“Frame a black-and-white photo that represents a special memory for a timeless keepsake.”
A Man & His Kitchen
“I am not the dad who cooks, but I would like to eat everything in this book (steak au poivre, yes please). Matt even shares tips on how to organize your kitchen and to shop for vintage cookware, which I can totally get behind.”
March LA.B Watch Bracelet
“I’m an avid collector of watches, and each one has a special meaning or story attached to it. I like to change out the strap from time to time for a whole new look.”
Geometric Cotton Jacquard Bath Towels
“A fresh set of towels is the perfect gift for an occasion. I love the masculine feel of this geometric pattern that comes in a variety of colorways.”
Donut Pet Bed
“For the pet dads out there…a handsome dog bed that is designed to complement just about every design style.”
Aesop Moroccan Neroli Shaving Duet
“Pamper Dad with this luxe shaving kit, or another grooming favorite of mine, the Najeau scalp mask.”
Mark & Graham x Steele Waxed Canvas Tote
“A great-looking, durable bag that can do it all, this one has a monogram that makes it extra special for Dad (and less likely someone else will commandeer it for their own use).”
Maestro Dobel and Patron Silver
“What can I say, I’m a dad who loves tequila.”
