If you really want to know how Nate Berkus feels about design, look no further than his wardrobe. “I keep an eye on trends but always stay true to what I know works for me,” Berkus wrote in a blog post on his site. Lately, that would be a ton of ochre and terracotta, which is why we weren’t surprised to find the colors playing a prominent role in his new fall bedding collection for Target’s Project 62 line. 

To really drive home the point that fashion and home decor go hand in hand, Berkus took a stroll through the retailer’s apparel section and captured the whole thing on camera. “This is the color of the season,” he announces in the video, pointing to a pair of rust-colored gloves. The hue, which Target calls maple, has an almost golden shimmer to it, like a sunset hitting a canopy of auburn-tinged trees. 

The designer fully embraced the desert hue with channel-tufted pillows and woven quilts, while also peppering in black and white—a classic pairing he refers to as seasonless. Berkus admits there’s no right or wrong way to make a bed, but he revealed his personal strategy in an Instagram video. “I like to start with Euro shams in the back,” he says.
