The best storage baskets for every room in your home
Ever since Marie Kondo introduced us to the life-changing power of home organisation back in 2015 (yes, it really was that long ago), we've all be working to 'KonMari' our belongings: does it spark joy?
But once you've whittled down your possessions to those that you really need or value, how do you ensure that things don't start piling up again?
The right storage solutions help to keep everything in its place. Plus, if you pick the right pieces, it can also make a style statement.
A few vibrant baskets made from wicker, seagrass or straw can add a pop of colour and texture to your space, while keeping your less attractive belongings neatly out of sight.
Storage baskets for the bedroom and living areas
There are plenty of bits and bobs in these rooms that can spill out of drawers and clog up bookcases.
Declutter your living space by tidying them away inside a neat line of baskets, hiding spare throws, magazines and all those cables that you just haven't got around to sorting yet. It will immediately make for a clearer, calmer living space that's ready for you to relax in.
Storage baskets for the kitchen
This is one room where there's just never enough storage space. Stackable wire baskets are a good choice here — a tower of two or three can be used to store fresh fruit and veg, bread, oils and condiments neatly, rather than having them sprawling around loose in a cupboard.
If you're lucky enough to have a pantry, keeping different food types in separate baskets will ensure your space stays clutter-free and enviably Pinterest-perfect.
Storage baskets for the bathroom
Like the kitchen, the bathroom can be a particularly difficult to keep organised. With so many bottles and tubes, cleaning products, towels and spare loo rolls knocking around, mess can pile up quickly.
Luckily, a few handy baskets can help turn this area into the serene sanctuary it's supposed to be. Smaller, shallower options are good for under the sink, where space tends to be limited, while you can go larger in the airing cupboard to keep bulkier towels and sheets in order.
Storage baskets for a child's bedroom or playroom
There are plenty of bright and beautiful baskets that'll keep toys and games tidy without looking boring. For fuss-free tidying at the end of the day, stock your playroom with one or two large baskets (perhaps one per child), so they can stash all their toys together.
Some toys have lots of little bits (hello, Lego) that aren't suitable for storing with teddies and the like in one big basket. In this case, we'd recommend keeping them safely separated in smaller storage cubes.
Storage baskets to accessorise with
Baskets are useful for more than just storage. The more decorative ones, especially, can also make great plant pot covers, complementing leafy green plants and adding some textural charm.
