Embrace Clutter-Free Living with Storage Baskets
Transform your everyday spaces and make them clutter-free with just a few items. To do so, you won't need large storage pieces – you can organise your home in a flash thanks to stylish baskets. But that's not where it ends – they can be used in many ways, not only as a means to declutter your home!
Baskets: More than Just Storage
Contrary to larger storage pieces, baskets are very versatile and can be used pretty much in every room, no matter how much space it offers. They are also easy to style into various decor schemes, even though they boast a strong boho vibe.
How should you go about using them in various rooms? We have prepared some ideas and suggestions - trust us, there are many options, and a storage basket is always handy, regardless of the amount of space you have in your rooms.
Bedroom
You can make your bedroom an oasis of peace and relaxation, which will be neatly organised as well. Put your favourite blankets, throws, cushions, and more in your storage baskets. You can also use them to store laundry or even underwear – but in this case, it's wise to place your baskets into a wardrobe! Additionally, if you have a bed frame that doesn't touch the ground, you can keep rectangular baskets under it, saving even more space. The same can be done using a night stand that comes with a shelf under its top!
TIP - Consider the material of your storage baskets in the bedroom to complement your decor. Woven baskets add a cosy, natural feel, while metal or plastic may offer a sleek, modern or industrial look.

Living Room
Only your creativity can stop you here. A storage basket can be used to organise your magazines, store away children's toys, put away board games... Besides, you can use it just as a simple decoration that will definitely turn your guests' heads! And if you can't spare too much extra space for a basket, why not put it under your console or coffee table?
TIP - Use storage baskets of varying heights in the living room to add depth to your space, and choose colours that either stand out as accents or blend seamlessly with your room's colour scheme.

Hallway
Here, it's better to select baskets in various sizes and combine them with your chest of drawers or sideboards, depending on what you have in your entryway. You can use them to store your shoes, without damaging furniture, or accessories, such as scarves, hats, and more.
TIP - In the hallway, opt for stackable baskets that can easily be moved or rearranged as needed, especially useful for adapting to different seasons or occasions.

Bathroom
Smaller storage baskets are great for keeping your makeup products in one place. Besides, you can use larger baskets to store your laundry before washing, or keep your cleaning supplies organised. The possibilities are limitless!
TIP - For a spa-like ambiance, select storage baskets in calming colours, and ensure they're made from moisture-resistant materials to withstand the bathroom's humid environment.

Kitchen
In your kitchen, a storage basket can be perfect for organising pantry and other kitchen products that are kept in jars or boxes. Remember that typical storage baskets can't come into contact with food, so it's better not to place any fresh fruits or vegetables into them - but you can replace them with fake, decorative ones. On the other hand, you can keep potted herbs in them – such a combination will definitely be a highlight of your kitchen!
TIP - Incorporate labels on your kitchen storage baskets. This not only helps in keeping items sorted, but also saves time when you're looking for specific ingredients or utensils.

Children's Room
Every parent knows how messy this room can get! To keep it clean, it's wise to get a bigger basket that will be perfect for storing your little ones' favourite toys. We also recommend getting a basket that can become a playmate for your child – pick one that features a unique design, shape, and resembles an animal to boost your child's imagination!
TIP - Baskets with playful patterns can also encourage kids to engage in clean-up time. And remember to always supervise your little ones during play-time!

Extra Functionality
You now know how you can use storage baskets in various settings. But there are a few more things worth keeping in mind when shopping online for a storage basket. Namely, their extra functionalities. What do we mean by that? Plenty of baskets come with lids – they are extremely handy and offer a great deal of privacy for any items, such as underwear or laundry, you want to place in your basket.
It's also smart to pick a basket that comes with handles. They make moving it around much easier, especially if you store heavier things inside. If you are limited on space, you might want to consider baskets that are collapsible, so you can... store them away when not needed! Lastly, there are larger, rectangular baskets that have compartments inside, making organising stuff in your kitchen or bathroom very easy.
Choosing the Right Materials for Your Needs
Selecting the right material for your storage basket is pivotal to ensure it aligns with your home's aesthetic and your personal needs. Besides, it also has an impact on maintenance, so we recommend getting to know them all.
Fabric
Offering a soft and flexible solution, fabric baskets can be collapsible, making them perfect for spaces that require temporary storage. Sometimes they can be reinforced with additional materials, and often they are available in a plethora of colours and designs, making them a perfect choice for both boho and contemporary spaces.
Wicker
Wicker is revered for its classic, traditional look and feel. Baskets made from it are durable, don't require daily maintenance to last for many years, and are quite lightweight, so you won't have trouble moving them around.

Wood
Similarly to fabric, wooden baskets can also be painted to achieve various shades. They are characterised by durability, and, if made from natural wood, can be unique thanks to different wood grains.
Rattan
This natural material makes any basket long-lasting. Rattan also provides a distinctive look that ties together a rustic or boho-inspired interior. Depending on the type of rattan, they can also feature good air circulation, making them perfect for storing clothes. What's more, they can also be used in outdoor settings!
Style Them How You Want
Now you know everything there is to know about storage baskets: the different material types, how to use them in various rooms, and the extra functionality to look out for. Style them under your console table, place them near your bed, or set them right on the kitchen counter – these baskets are quickly going to become one of your favourite pieces in the home!
