10 storage baskets you need right now

Storage baskets not only hide a multitude of sins, they are indispensable when it comes to maximising space and avoiding clutter in the home

Tidy up

  • Besides using baskets to store books and magazines in the living room, consider having a small one on your entertainment unit or console for easy access to remotes.
  • Disguise a boring pot plant by sitting it inside an attractive basket.
  • Wicker baskets are a great way to add warmth and texture to a space while keeping clutter out of sight.
  •  Consider lightweight but strong baskets which can be easily carried from one room to another – great for toys, craft materials or laundry.
  • If you have open shelving but are not a fan of seeing everything on display, place all items in identical baskets for a clean, tidy appearance.
