Organization makes me happy. I’m obsessed with finding awesome new products and tools to help keep my life in order so I was super excited to hear that our friend Nate Berkus recently expanded his line for Target to include a chic selection of stationery, desk accessories and office storage. There’s everything from file folders and pencil cups to stationery, storage boxes and cork boards, all in an array of ethic inspired patterns and fun colors that reflect Nate’s signature style. You’ll find everything you need to keep your workspace looking tidy and stylish! I caught up with Nate to hear how he keeps his own workspace organized and here’s what he had to say:
“We’ve all heard the phrase, ‘work smarter, not harder.’ For me that starts with organization. I can’t think when things are messy. I like everything in its place. That doesn’t mean, though, that the place I put things can’t be elegant. Just like my home I want my office to feel layered and collected over time with a mix of finishes to make it interesting. Small wooden boxes hold my paper clips. A mexican woven basket serves as a catchall for my cords, ruler and tape measurer and, one of my own-designed gold and white pencil cups holding all my beloved sharpies. Beyond that there are pictures of family and friends and places I’ve been that make me smile as well as hand written notes from business partners and peers pinned to the cork board lining my walls. Those notes remind me of the good work I’ve done and motivate me to keep focused on the great things ahead.” – Nate Berkus
In Nate’s latest book, The Things That Matter, he profiles some amazing homes which also feature some well organized work spaces. Here are a few of my favorites…
The living room/office of blogger Kelly Framel.
The desk of Nate’s barber/hairstylist Steve Berg.
The office of entrepreneur and author of The Pursuit of Happyness, Chris Garnder.
The living room/office of Nate’s friends Brooke & Michael Haney.

Everything that Nate design is beautiful and useful, I love the cream and bleu pineapples, the branch lamp, the chevron box, the file folders… I can go and and… He had special eye for color and style. Thanks Nate for be here for us. I’m your fan #1.
Love all the office accessories!
Ooh pretty file folders make me happy.
I love the 5 x 5 Indre Frame in Espresso/White. I use instagram and it is really hard to find square frames in 5 x 5 for the prints.
I think all the designs are fantastic, would love to have any of them in my home.
His bath towels are pretty great!
I LOVE the penta vase!

I love the pineapple. I plan to have a new place in the future and I want a white one because it is the universal sign of welcome. 🙂
As an organizer, I am absolutely LOVING that Nate has come out with office accessories. Swoon! My favorite of those is the blue and gold clipboard as I would love to take it on appointments with me! As a mom, I am huge fan of the Westwood towels. They are perfect for my identical twin girls and myself at the pool and at home. Crossing my fingers!
I think Nate Berkus bath and bed accessories are exquisite. Thank you
I love the woven serving tray, perfect for summer entertaining. And the metal rino would look perfect on my shelf too. Thanks for the great giveaway opportunity!

I love all the 18 x18 pillows in his collection. Especially the Nate Berkus Jewel Band Pillow. Thanks!
I love the Nate Berkus Gold Leaf Tray!
I love anything ikat right now, and those bath towels are swoon worthy!
if i must choose only 1, i think the nate berkus multi colored cylinder basket would be it.
I’m such a fan of Nate Berkus, ever since his days on Oprah. He is so talented & genuine. While there are so many items that I love, my favorite is the “Woven Pineapple Decorative”.
I love NB Vieja Vase bud. It is elegant.
