One of the most common decorating dilemmas is finding enough storage for all the clutter we amass over the years. No matter how many drawers, shelves, or closets a home has, it never seems as though it is enough. Find a place to put all those extra blankets, pillows, pet accessories, shoes, toys, and more with this attractive and easy containment solution. Baskets are a great way to contain the clutter and accessorize any room in your home.

Baskets

Ultimate Versatility

I truly believe that you can not have enough baskets in your home. They come in so many different sizes, shapes, and styles that it is easy to find one that will coordinate with any decor. As your family grows and your containment needs change, the purpose that baskets serve can change as well. What once held extra pillows can later contain baby blocks and rattles. Because baskets have an open top, they are a great way to show off some functional accessories, such as throw blankets.

Baskets for Every Room of the Home

• Foyer – The foyer is the ultimate drop zone. Contain cast off shoes, purses, umbrellas, and even mail in appropriately placed baskets.
• Living Room – The living room is one of the biggest clutter areas for any home and the possibilities are truly endless. Personally, we use baskets to contain cuddly throws and tons of toys.
• Dining Room – Baskets don’t have to be large. Small baskets placed on a buffet are perfect for containing extra cloth napkins, napkin rings, candles, and more.
• Kitchen – Next time you are serving bread with dinner, try lining a beautiful basket with a cloth napkin and piling your rolls up inside of it. This traditional and classy way to present bread will quickly become a favorite for you.
• Bedroom – Chances are, you have a trashcan somewhere in your bedroom. Although functional, trashcans can also be a huge eyesore. Change out your metal can for a basket and see the difference it makes.
• Bathroom – Make your bathroom feel a little bit more like a spa by rolling up your towels and storing them in a stylish basket.
• Patio – Believe it or not, each of the baskets in this image can be used as planters. Fill them with your favorite artificial tree or plant and up your outdoor style.
