How to Organize Your Home With Wire Baskets?

Most peoples’ organizing strategy goes like this: 1. Discover things that need to be organized. 2. Buy containers to organize said things. My strategy, on the other hand, goes more like this: 1. Buy every cute basket I come across. 2. Find things to put in said baskets. But — I must say — of all my decor obsessions, baskets are by far the most practical. They’re generally inexpensive and fantastic for organizing every last room in your home. If you tire of your living room basket, you can switch it with your bathroom basket for a breath of fresh air. Ingenuity at its finest, folks. Read on to see how to use them in every room.

 

IN THE BATHROOM

Handy Towels

Especially if your bathroom lacks cabinet space, finding a spot to store clean towels is a must. Enter, the basket. Roll your towels for a casual feel (and to help them fit in a round basket).

Under-Counter Organization

Have space under your bathroom counter or cabinet? Find baskets that fit neatly into the unused nook. Store anything from extra soap to extra linens to keep your bathroom organized.

 

IN THE LIVING ROOM

Blanket + Pillow Storage

During the cooler months, extra blankets and pillows are crucial for cozy nights snuggled up by the fire. Instead of overloading your sofa, buy a large basket to store them.

Book Nook

If the only place a built-in bookcase exists is in your daydreams, opt for a wire basket filled with your very favorite reads, instead.

IN THE KITCHEN

Root Vegetable Storage

Store potatoes and onions in wire baskets in your pantry or in a cabinet to maximize their freshness. The open basket will keep the root vegetables dry, and a cabinet or a pantry provides a cool, dark environment.

Stacking Tiered Metal Wire Basket

Pantry Organization

Speaking of the pantry, try organizing it with baskets. By separating your dry goods into groups, you’ll be able to keep tabs on your supply and locate items faster.

IN THE UTILITY ROOM

Laundry Organizer

Streamline your laundry system with baskets where the kids can pick up clean linens or clothes.
