Baskets are often associated with spring, but the Easter Bunny doesn’t have a monopoly on them. Storage baskets make a stylish accessory for your home, as well as a useful piece that can help take your spring cleaning to the next level. This spring, consider adding some baskets to your living spaces to tidy up your floors and table tops alike, plus add texture and style to your home design.

Storage and More

From adding easy storage to your kids’ bedroom and play rooms to providing a rustic storage touch to your living room, baskets can house just about anything and help make your space look cleaner. However, some of our favorite baskets do much more! Consider a multi-tasking basket such as a storage ottoman or bench featuring one or more baskets to help organize (or at least hide!) your clutter.

Baskets Here and Baskets There

Baskets make both functional and fashionable accent pieces that can be used in a multitude of rooms in your home. For instance, a basket stand featuring a combination of drawers and shelves with baskets make a functional stand next to your favorite chair in a living or family room, allowing you to store remotes, books and much more. You could also use this piece in a bedroom for a nightstand, or an office or craft room as a way to organize your papers and projects, keeping your space clutter-free. It also makes a great storage piece for an entryway or mudroom to store outdoor accessories. The possibilities are endless!

While anything but new, baskets can give simple furniture a current, on-trend feel. Metal baskets provide additional, open storage to bedroom furniture, such as chests or nightstands, for easily accessible items. A sideboard with baskets is a great multifunctional piece for any room in your house. A hanging letterbox basket can be wall mounted in your kitchen to provide a place for small kitchen accessories or by your front door to catch your keys, mail and more. Choose one featuring a metal basket for a mix of industrial and organic design.

Think Outside the Basket

While these baskets provide functional storage, the design is undeniably part of the appeal. Got your storage already covered? You can still choose accessories featuring a basket weave to add texture and interest to your space. For instance, a loose basket weave design can make a stylish throw. A rug featuring a weave structure can bring a natural look to your space, both indoors and out.

A basket weave design can also give an organic look to a structured design, making your accessories both current and interesting. Consider a lamp or other home accessory featuring this design as a simple update to your space.
