A-tisket-a-tasket, you need a storage basket — but which one is right for the task at hand? With so many options out there, choosing the right storage solution can be tough. That’s why we’ve got the inside scoop on the best basket for all of your storage needs.
See-through
Baskets made with loose weaves, wire frames or see-through materials are great for storing items that frequently change. Use them to store fabric in the sewing room, produce in the fridge or even lost socks in the laundry room. Because you can always see what each basket holds, you won’t need to spend time changing out labels.
Tight-weaved
When you have clutter that needs to be kept under wraps, put a tight-weaved basket to the task! The design of these baskets keeps your home tidy while offering a decorative element. Place a basket on the coffee table for a convenient home for the remote control. Use them to hold dvds, cell-phone chargers or even your car keys. These convenient storage pieces will help you stay organized, while keeping items close at hand.?
Tiered
Don’t waste time digging through piles of tiny objects. Instead, store the items you use on a regular basis right on the countertop. Use a tiered basket to hold serving spoons, to sort mail or even to hold your favorite magazines. You’ll spend less time hunting for what you need, and more time doing the things you love!?
Lidded
To keep a mess out of sight and out of mind, put a lid on it! Lidded baskets are great for storing items you’d rather not see. Use them in the bathroom to hold nail clippers, brushes and cosmetics. Use them in the kitchen to hold batteries, tea mixes or even zip-lock bags. Using decorative lidded baskets is a great way to keep items accessible, while eliminating clutter.?
Large scale
Large messes call for large baskets — and there’s no larger household mess than a pile of dirty laundry! To tackle messes like this, even between loads, use a portable basket designed with handles. The weave of the basket keeps dirty laundry out of sight, while the handles make it easy to transport each load into the laundry room. For easy sorting, use three separate baskets for whites, darks and delicates.
