If you have limited storage space for clothes, Nate Berkus has valuable advice that can transform your routine.
Known worldwide for his brilliance in interior design, Nate Berkus also shares practical organization tips that help optimize every inch of closet space.
Whether you live in a compact apartment or a spacious home — storage space for clothes is never enough. Still, dressers and drawers are among the hardest places to keep organized. Fortunately, Berkus has developed a smart folding technique that not only creates more space but also makes laundry day much easier.
Nate Berkus’s Technique for Folding Sweatpants
Berkus demonstrated the method using one of the hardest pieces of clothing to organize: sweatpants. In an Instagram video, he explained: “Sweatpants never sit well in the drawer. You can’t really organize them well, but you can if you fold them like this!”.
The step-by-step is simple:
- Fold the pants directly in half, following the back seam.
- Fold again lengthwise.
- Tuck the small part that sticks out in the back inside.
- Make two more folds, forming a compact block.
According to Berkus, the result is a perfect “brick” that’s easy to store in drawers and saves space.
How to Save Space by Folding Blankets
This wasn’t the first time Nate Berkus caught attention with smart organization methods. In another Instagram tutorial, he taught how to fold blankets to create what he calls the “perfect roll.” First, the fabric is folded into three parts; then, three more folds, similar to the sweatpants method. Finally, the blanket’s end is neatly tucked into the roll, resulting in a flawless finish.
Inspiration from Marie Kondo’s KonMari Method
Renowned for his talent in organizing closets and drawers, Berkus even joked on Facebook: “The perfect fold doesn’t exist… until Jeremiah Brent and I found it. #triplevirgo”.
His technique is reminiscent of the famous KonMari method, created by Marie Kondo. Before fully adopting this philosophy, she suggests starting with simple changes, like learning how to fold clothes correctly. Like Berkus, Kondo recommends folding clothes and sheets into three flat sections, then lengthwise, and finally folding into three parts again.
Practical and Stylish Organization for Any Space
The similarity between the two methods shows that Nate Berkus’s technique is even approved by organization experts. For those who feel closet space is never enough, his tips offer practical, stylish, and easy-to-apply solutions, helping transform everyday organization.
