Baskets are an economical choice for getting rid of clutter and keeping you organized as well as being decorative. How can baskets be used in your home?
Out of Sight Storage
Decorative Shelves
Baskets can be used to store items that you don't use on a regular basis. This may be in a store room, under a bed or in a kitchen pantry. They work very well on shelving in any room of the house. Shallow baskets can be used in the kitchen to store small utensils, silverware and dish clothes.
Organization Device
We all know that baskets can be used to store a multitude of items. They are especially useful to hold small or unattractive items that you use on a regular basis. What would a kid's room be without baskets to organize toys, games and school papers? Adding labels to baskets is an effective way to store items without hiding them.
Baskets are very attractive in bathrooms to keep personal care items that are used every day handy and organized. They may also be used to hold towels and washcloths if storage space is limited.
Decorative Addition
You can buy decorative baskets in all price ranges to accent any decorating scheme. In a family room a large basket works well to hold magazines and newspapers as well as serve as a decorative accent in the room. Large baskets with lids work well in any room because they can store large items such as throws, blankets, and pillows. They also make an attractive clothes hamper.
