Furnishing using baskets: many ideas to organize your home with style

One of the most popular solutions to optimize domestic spaces involves the use of baskets and similar containers. There are all kinds, shapes, materials and sizes. They are beautiful to look at and, above all, ecologically sound. They are mostly made from straw or wicker - a natural material made from willow or bamboo. And for these reasons, they lend themselves to being an excellent solution for those who want a truly plastic-free home and healthier planet.

It is possible to furnish bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms and even the office using baskets. And all this can be done without having to give up on aesthetic refinement and comfort. We have listed below some wonderful ideas for you to organize your home using baskets and with a lot of style:

Placing several baskets of different sizes close together, perhaps under a piece of furniture in the living room, could be an excellent space-saving idea.

And using wicker storage baskets will help you - if you are a lover of the style and look - to furnish your home in a perfect, modern country style.

And why not use smaller baskets to keep all the bathroom items in good order?

A perfect solution, for those who have a small bathroom and/or a lot of stuff to arrange, can be a wicker storage tower made up of several stacked wicker baskets.

You can also choose to use decorative baskets. By arranging some small and shallow ones on a carpet, the living area could immediately take on a more refined look. And it will have a more attractive effect if you use them to store items related to how to spend your free time - such as travel books, maps or related magazines.

A basket can become an amazing stationery or pen holder for an office with an informal and creative furnishing; or for the bedrooms of children and teenagers.

While in the kitchen, you can use baskets to arrange food or anything else that one can find usually in a pantry: a timeless classic.

Likewise, laundry baskets can be considered a timeless classic. Placed one above the other on a retaining frame, they are a great way to furnish and tidy up the laundry room.

There are also unconventional and creative ways of using baskets. One of them is to hang a basket on the wall and use it as a bedside table or storage shelf. Give it a try, it's a really useful idea.

Wicker umbrella stands are an excellent furnishing feature for achieving a countryside feel and style.

And a nice wicker trunk in the bedroom - as well as being very elegant - could represent the ideal solution to the perennial problem of a lack of space in the wardrobes (which we often complain about). Have you ever thought about doing this?

A final, very original suggestion is to use a high and deep basket as a piece of furniture to place plants, lamps or other similar objects. You can fit a wooden lid (or one made from another material) of the same diameter to the top of it. The latter should be strong and durable enough to place your favorite decorative objects on it. And inside, you can keep everything you want near to hand.

You just have to choose the baskets you like and start reorganizing the spaces in your home in the best possible way. Happy makeover!
