The Home Decor Materials Nate Berkus Always Buys Online

The internet has opened the doors wide open to home décor options. From major companies to small businesses, there are choices for art, furniture, and other decorative accents that fit every possible style. However, there's also something to be said about looking at pieces in-person. While online retailers have a wider range of options, brick-and-mortar stores allow you to see something up close and personal. Testing out furniture like sofas and side chairs to ensure comfort before purchasing is one thing. Other times, the internet can be a benefit to finding exactly what you need.

Nate Berkus, co-host of HGTV's "The Nate and Jeremiah Home Project," believes that the internet is a great resource when designing and decorating your home. Though some people may find it difficult to commit to items they haven't seen in person, there are a few pieces Berkus believes are worth finding online. "Shop for special materials and finishes online," the designer said in an interview with My Domaine. These may seem like small details, but they can make all the difference in the grand scheme of your home design.

Interior designers will always stress the importance of paying attention to the small details. While they may not draw immediate attention, these details can add personality and make your home look custom-designed. Because of that, finding the right item is of the utmost importance. That's why Nate Berkus says to use the internet as a resource to find the perfect pieces for your space. "Backsplash tile, hardware, cutting boards, mirrors — there are so many beautiful options out there that you can find for prices that don't have to break the bank," he explained to My Domaine. Shopping online opens you up to a world of options, literally, which means finding precisely what you want in color, material, and price.

The items Berkus mentions are smaller details that don't always require you to see them in person before purchasing; you can get a good feel of them through product photos and descriptions. However, it's always important to request a few samples before placing a large order.
