Arrange books, store fresh bread and houseplants – we will tell you how to use this accessory beautifully and functionally.
A wicker basket is eco-friendly and stylish. Try to fit the basket in one of these ways, so that in addition to beauty and comfort, the accessory is also functional.
1. Use for serving
If you have a shallow, flat basket, you can use that instead of a tray. Snacks cannot be laid out on it, but pastries or fresh bread can be served at the table.
On the basket tray, you can beautifully serve breakfast or snacks for watching your favorite movie.
2. Store things in the hallway
You can even put a couple of baskets for accessories such as hats, scarves, and gloves in a small hallway. And if you have a rack, baskets can be used by analogy with drawers and store everything in them.
In such baskets, seasonal items can also be stored, for example, warm sweaters in autumn and winter.
3. Sort cooking accessories
Rails are a godsend for an organized person because they can store a lot of different little things, which usually “eats up” the entire cabinet space. And in order not to create visual noise, you can hang beautiful jars or, alternatively, mini-baskets.
You can store assorted accessories in one container or hang several identical baskets on the rails and organize separate storage by category.
4. Create a craft box
If you knit and sew, it is very convenient to store threads and accessories for your hobby in the basket. Even if you are not related to these activities, such a basket can be organized in case of an unexpected repair of clothes and put there threads of primary colors, needles, thimble, and buttons of various sizes.
For needles choose a basket with a denser weave so that nothing is lost, but knitting can also be folded into baskets with patterns.
5. Use instead of an umbrella stand
In a basket of natural rods that are sensitive to moisture, it is best to put umbrellas that have already dried up.
If the wicker basket is made of synthetic materials, in particular plastic, you can also store wet umbrellas fresh from the street in it. But from the inside it is necessary to remove moisture, otherwise, a fungus may start.
6. Store books
A wonderful and very cozy alternative to a regular shelving unit or a massive wardrobe is books in a basket. This is ideal for those who have a small library or who change books frequently.
It is easy to rearrange such a basket from place to place, organizing a reading corner where it is most convenient for you right now.
7. Paper and other office waste
What do you store dry waste in at work? Instead of a bucket, a small wicker basket is great. It is not suitable for culinary waste, but for the office, it is quite. And, what is very important, with such a wastebasket your interior will be completely thought out.
If your workplace is in plain sight, such as in the living room, it is important to consider the aesthetics of every little thing, including the wastebasket.
8. Sort the supplies in the bathroom
In wicker baskets, it is convenient to store toilet paper, napkins, wet towels, a spare container of laundry detergent, soap, and so on. This method is convenient in that if you need to get something from the depths, you do not have to wade through the rest of the stock, pull out the basket – and everything will be at hand.
Baskets can be placed directly on the floor in the bathroom, or if you have drawers – in them.
9. Plant flowers
Houseplants and wicker baskets are made for each other. Of course, you can’t pour earth into the basket itself, but it can be used as an additional “decorative” planter to put an unattractive but practical pot inside.
Baskets continue the natural theme given by plants and successfully complement the greenery and flowers.
10. Fold toys
Order in the kid’s bedroom is not as difficult to organize as it seems at first glance. The main thing is to stock up on containers for sorting toys by topic. For this purpose, a wicker basket is just perfect.
A wicker basket can also be used simply as a toy box and put everything in it straight from the floor in the kid’s bedroom.
11. Replace the bread box
To replace the old bread box, an ordinary wicker basket is quite suitable. Choose the most compact size and feel free to use it. The material is natural, the walls “breathe”, and it looks very attractive, reminiscent of fresh rustic bread from the oven.
It is best to choose a bread basket with a lid so that the contents do not become airy and stale.
12. Organize the storage of textiles in the bedroom
A large wicker basket in the corner of the bedroom is perfect for throwing in a few throws or extra throw pillows.
In order not to look for something on the shelves every time, you can look into the basket and quickly get what you need.
13. Arrange cutlery
You can put forks and spoons in mini baskets not only for festive serving but also use this method for everyday organization of cutlery.
You can use this kind of basket with internal dividers as an organizer or put several separate containers side by side.
14. Use as a laundry basket
In the bathroom, the basket can be used to store dry towels instead of a dirty laundry basket.
It is convenient to move such a basket around the bathroom, and when it is not needed, store it in an empty corner.
The most important thing about our X that it is for
those who are in a hurry
