Storage baskets are by far the most practical. They are 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. Practically, every room in the house could use a storage basket to organize.
Storage baskets come in so many different shapes and sizes and can add warmth and texture to a room while keeping things neat and tidy. We use baskets in several places in the home to store fabric, craft supplies, and many others. If you also love to use storage baskets for organization, these 7 simple hacks would be beneficial for you.

1) Catch-All Basket Storage
Use baskets to gather miscellaneous items that would otherwise clutter up your living room. Woven storage baskets can hold toys, games, books, movies, TV equipment, throw blankets, and more. Stash the baskets beneath a console table so they’re out of the way but easy to reach when needed. This basket storage idea also provides a quick way to clear the room of clutter just before your guests arrive.
2) Closet Basket Organization
Bring more organization to your closet by sorting items into baskets. On shelves, place folded clothing into wire storage baskets to prevent tall stacks from toppling over. Use separate baskets for tops, bottoms, shoes, scarves, and other accessories.
3) Storage Baskets For Shelves
Open shelves aren’t just a pretty spot to display books and collectibles as they can also ensure often-used items are easy to access. Line up identical baskets on a shelf to organize reading materials, TV remotes, and other small items. Employ large wicker storage baskets on a lower shelf to stash extra throw blankets.
4) Storage Basket For Extra Bedding
Stop throwing extra bed pillows or blankets on the floor every night. Instead, toss pillows in a wicker storage basket at bedtime to help keep them clean and off the floor. Keep the basket at your bedside or at the foot of the bed so it’s always close at hand.
5) Pantry Storage Baskets
Baskets can be helpful for organizing pantry staples and kitchen supplies. Place a basket with handles on a pantry shelf for easy access to contents. Add a label on the basket or the shelf so you can see the contents at a glance.
6) Kitchen Counter Baskets
Use a shallow storage basket to organize cooking oils and spices on the kitchen countertop. Line the bottom of the basket with a metal cookie sheet to make it easy to clean up spills or crumbs. Place the basket near the range to keep frequently used ingredients within reach while cooking.
7) Freezer Storage Baskets
Plastic storage baskets become a smart space-saver inside a crowded freezer. Use the baskets to organize foods by type (such as frozen pizzas in one, bags of vegetables in another). Label each basket so nothing will get lost in the back of your freezer.
