10 Ways To Use Basket For Storage And Decor

Baskets are the perfect solution to so many “what should I put here?” and “how do I organize this?” debates. They can be used all over the house and here are 10 highlighted ways to use baskets for storage and decor in your home. 

1. Storage For Pillows And Blankets

Baskets holding pillows, throws, and blankets are ideal for smart storage and decorative accents and are the perfect option for extra linen storage. They are available in every room of the house, including the living room and the bedrooms.

2. Holder Of A House Plant

The faux plants rarely arrive in the right pot. By putting them in a narrow basket, you can cover them and make it look completely intentional. If it's too deep, prop it up with towels or newspaper.

3. Surfaces For Display/storage In A Tray

Trays on any surface are the cup of tea of many people; they help organize a collection of objects and make them look less knickknack-like. Over the last year, we've discovered some amazing woven basket trays that have made appearances anywhere from the ottomans and tables to the kitchen island and bed.

4. Storage For Remote Control

Look for a small basket that you can have on show if you have things in your living room that you want to stow away but still have within reach. Mine is specifically designed to hold toilet paper.

5. Storage Of Toilet Paper

Our powder room has a pedestal sink with no shelving, drawers, or storage. I just got this lidded tulip basket, and I have no idea how many rolls it can carry (a TON). I used to have a smallish hamper, but I much prefer this oversized, round number.

6. A Place For Sorting Bills/papers

Remember how messy your junk drawer and stationery desk was? Instead of throwing things in your drawers (which would be a catastrophe waiting to happen), you would arrange to place them in a closed box.

7. Receptacle For Garbage

Do you realize how costly cute little trash cans can be? I'm not sure who wanted to make them so pricey, but I've pretty much stopped using actual trash cans in our house as trash receptacles. In reality, I'm fairly confident that nearly every trash can we have is a basket.

8. Washing Machine Hamper

Yes, my hamper basket is a hamper, but hampers, like trash cans, can be costly. There are no rules that state you can't replace it with a pretty basket. If you keep a basket or a hamper in your guest bed, you'll get bonus points (s).

9. Office Supply Shelf Storage With Built-ins

Decorating the same basket through your built-ins creates a unified look and compensates for any lack of drawer/cabinet space.

10. Storage The Closet

It is important to help build a system that was simple to follow and compensate for the sluggish vanity drawer. If you don't already have baskets in your pantry, take a look and see if it could use any.
