From backsplashes to barstools, celebrity interior designer Bobby Berk curated several finish and furniture collections for Waterston Central, a new-build community in Gilbert.
Why it matters: If you were in awe of the miracles Berk worked on “Queer Eye,” now you can take advantage of his expertise.
What they’re saying: It’s all about “democratizing design,” Berk told Axios.
- He says that newly built communities have a stigma of being soulless, but all homes — even the storied historic ones — started as new.
- Berk started working with Tri Pointe Homes to share his expert touch across the country at a more accessible price point than a custom design.
How it works: There are 10 themed packages to choose from, including serene Scandinavian, transitional farmhouse and organic modern — all curated by Berk.
- Everything — from lighting to countertops to wall colors — is included in your finish package, and you can add furniture, home accessories and artwork curated specifically for that collection, too.
Zoom in: Homes in Waterston Central, near Ocotillo Road and Val Vista Drive, sell in the $550,000-$850,000 range.
- Berk was in the Valley Friday to unveil five of the new model homes he designed and merchandised.
Pro tip: If you’re not in the market for a new house, you can still shop Berk’s collections online for your home improvement projects.
