Nate Berkus has the 'perfect solution to keep our kitchen drawers neat' and it's as chic as you'd expect

There are few figures we'd trust quite as much as Nate Berkus when it comes to home organizing ideas – starting, naturally, with the most functional room of all. 

The esteemed designer is synonymous with beautifully curated spaces, but beauty often comes hand-in-hand with organization, which is where his Nate Home collection comes in. Since its launch in February, the pieces, made in partnership with mDesign, have shaped our organization habits around the home, but most specifically the kitchen, where a tidy space (arguably) matters the most. 

Most recently, however, Nate tackled towel storage, using the example of kitchen towels, but his organizational solution will no doubt translate to every room in our house. 

'Cooking in the kitchen isn’t a talent I lead with, but keeping it organized is,' Nate comments. 'These Nate Home perforated bins are the perfect solution to keeping our kitchen drawers neat.'

The designer demonstrates how he uses a simple folding method to make his towels more compact, so they align in the bins that are almost too good-looking to be practical. 

Apparently, when Nate designed these bins he was inspired by 1950s Hungarian/French furniture maker and industrial designer Mathieu Mategot, who sometimes experimented with a similar grid design, but  Nate's approach is a far more contemporary twist on the classic.

'I’m in constant pursuit of figuring out different uses for my perforated bins and actually all the things from my organizing line, Nate Home,' Nate says.

'It was driving me crazy that our kitchen towels were just thrown into the drawer, and then I decided, after watching folding videos during Covid, that if you roll up to sort of fold your kitchen towels to be this size, they can probably fit perfectly in the perforated bin and then go in the drawer in the kitchen.'

In the footage, Nate also discovers he can fit two of the bins in one of his kitchen drawers, so, when organizing a kitchen, it might also be worth doubling up, if the space allows. 

'This just in, really exciting news, when I was folding the kitchen towels, I realized I can actually fit two of the perforated bins in my kitchen drawer; that’s pretty exciting,' he comments.

And why stop at the bins? These are more of our favorite space-saving, chic-looking storage solutions from Nate Home.

From towels to pantry staples, Nate's perforated bins translate to every space we could need, and their subtle nod to a Mid-century icon makes them as chic as they are practical.
