A basket is a great piece for many homes because of several reasons. First of all, it’s a comfy storage unit, second, it may be used for décor and third, it’s a cozy touch to any interior. Considering the fact that farmhouse interiors are on top, having baskets at home becomes even more up-to-date. There are baskets of all types and looks, which can match any interior: woven wicker, knit and crochet or even metal wire ones, which can easily fit a rustic, farmhouse, boho and some other types of interiors whenever you need a cozy rustic feel there. Let’s take a look at some ideas to integrate a basket into your home.
Entryway Basket Ideas for a Welcoming First Impression
Our entryway used to be chaos. Shoes kicked off in a heap, keys MIA half the time, and mail scattered like confetti. It was the first thing anyone saw when they walked in — and it gave “we live in a tornado” energy. One weekend I got fed up and decided to do a little basket experiment.
First, I grabbed a long, low basket and slid it under the bench we never used. Instant shoe storage. Then I mounted a small wall basket (literally just hung it on a hook with a nail) near the door and dropped our keys and sunglasses in it. Life. Changing. I even added a lidded basket next to the door to hide reusable grocery bags and the dog leash — stuff that always got tossed somewhere random.
What worked best was keeping the basket styles cohesive — I used all natural woven ones in a light tan to match the neutral vibe of the space. But I’ve also seen wire baskets used in more industrial or modern spaces that look super sleek. Just make sure whatever you use has a bit of structure, so it doesn’t sag or collapse with use.
If your entryway’s a hot mess like mine was, start with just two baskets: one for the floor (shoes, bags, whatever lands there), and one for small stuff you grab on the way out. You’ll be shocked how much calmer the space feels — and how much faster you get out the door.

Living Room Basket Decor and Organization
Okay, let’s talk about the living room — aka the zone where stuff magically piles up: blankets, remotes, toys, half-read magazines, and don’t even get me started on dog toys. I used to shove everything into the nearest couch cushion gap or coffee table drawer (if I was lucky enough to have one). Then I brought in a few baskets, and suddenly my living room went from “lived-in chaos” to “cozy and curated.”
One of the easiest wins? A big, soft-sided woven basket for throw blankets. I roll ‘em up (so they look cuter, obviously) and just toss them in there. Instant texture, instant warmth, and they’re not tangled across the couch anymore. For the remote control and random stuff like lip balm, I put a small lidded basket right on the coffee table — it looks intentional, but hides the clutter.
I also use a set of nesting baskets to corral my kid’s toys in the corner. They’re easy to move and not hideous like a plastic bin. Plus, if guests are coming over, I can just toss everything in and pretend I have my life together.
And here’s a fun trick: tall baskets make amazing plant stands. I plop a snake plant inside one and suddenly it looks like I bought it from a boutique. Just make sure there’s a plastic liner inside if you’re watering real plants — learned that one the hard way.
If you’re overwhelmed by your living room looking messy but don’t want to “organize” in the formal sense, baskets give you that lived-in, styled vibe without much effort. Basically, they’re the grown-up version of stuffing things under the bed — just prettier.

Bathroom Storage with Baskets
Bathrooms are tricky. There’s never enough storage, and everything’s either too tiny to stack or too awkward to fit anywhere. For a while, I just kept tossing things under the sink in a chaotic pile of extra toilet paper rolls, random skincare samples, and like… five half-used shampoos. It wasn’t cute. Then one day at a thrift store I found this little set of three matching wicker baskets, and I swear, it changed the whole vibe.
Now I roll up towels and stack them in a large basket next to the tub — it feels very “spa,” even though the reality is I just didn’t have a linen closet. I keep cotton pads, hair ties, and even extra toothpaste in small baskets on the counter or tucked into open shelving. It looks nice, keeps things within reach, and makes guests feel like you’ve got your life together (even if you don’t).
My biggest bathroom basket hack? Hanging them on the wall! Yep — I used command hooks and hung two small baskets vertically. One holds rolled washcloths, and the other is basically my “get ready” station with deodorant, face mist, and a brush. It freed up a ton of counter space and actually looks intentional.
Just make sure whatever basket you use can handle a little humidity. Avoid felt or thin paper-based ones unless the bathroom is super dry. And always add little liners or bowls inside if you’re storing liquids or leaky stuff — I learned that lesson with a tipped-over bottle of mouthwash. Oops.
So if your bathroom’s bursting at the seams, try popping in a few baskets. Start with one near the tub and one by the sink. It’s like a tiny glow-up for your morning routine.
A large basket with a lid to store towels can be placed in a rustic or farmhouse bathroom, you can put it on a shelf or a vanity.

Bedroom and Closet Basket Hacks
The closet was my breaking point. I kept stuffing socks, scarves, and that weird pile of “I’ll wear it one more time” clothes onto shelves until one day, a stack came crashing down on me. That’s when I finally got serious about using baskets in the bedroom — and not just tossing a laundry hamper in the corner like I used to.
Now I use baskets like drawer extensions. In my open shelving, I’ve got small fabric baskets labeled for everything: belts, swimsuits, random cords (because apparently I hoard charging cables?), and even my “junk I’ll deal with later” basket. It helps my brain stay calm because even when it’s messy inside, it looks neat from the outside.
Under the bed, I slid in two long, low-profile woven baskets — one for seasonal clothes and another for spare linens. Way better than those squeaky plastic bins that crack after a few months. And bonus: they don’t make that awful sound when you pull them out at 7 a.m.
One of my favorite accidental discoveries? Using a small basket as a nightstand. I flipped a sturdy woven one upside down and plopped a tray on top for my water, book, and alarm clock. Super budget-friendly and perfect for tight spaces.
Baskets also make it easier to stick with organizing. I’m way more likely to put something back where it belongs if I can just toss it into a soft bin instead of folding and stacking neatly every time. (Spoiler: I’m never folding neatly every time.)
If your bedroom’s feeling cluttered but you’re not ready to commit to a full KonMari makeover, baskets give you a shortcut to sanity. Just pick a few, label ’em if you want to be fancy, and let them hide your chaos in style.

Kitchen and Pantry Basket Solutions
Ah, the kitchen — land of cluttered counters, mystery Tupperware lids, and snack avalanches. My pantry used to be an actual black hole. Stuff would disappear in there for months. I once found a bag of flour that had expired two years ago. That was my “okay, we need baskets” moment.
I started small with a few wire baskets for snacks. Chips in one, granola bars in another. No more digging through half-open boxes. Then I added labeled woven baskets for baking supplies, pasta, and sauces. It’s wild how much easier it is to cook when you’re not playing hide-and-seek with your ingredients.
On the countertop, I’ve got a cute little seagrass tray basket that holds onions, garlic, and potatoes. It keeps everything contained, and somehow just makes the counter look intentional — like I know what I’m doing in the kitchen. (Spoiler: I don’t always.)
My favorite trick is using stacking baskets inside cabinets — especially the kind with a front cutout. I keep one full of tea bags and another for coffee stuff. Makes the morning chaos way smoother. And if you’ve got open shelving, baskets are your best friend. You can store all the ugly stuff — like spice packets or mismatched measuring cups — and still have that clean, styled look.
A quick tip: if you’re using baskets for produce, make sure they’ve got airflow. I learned that the hard way when I used a solid basket and ended up with a mushy onion situation. Mesh or slatted baskets are much better for anything that breathes.
Honestly, baskets in the kitchen are like secret weapons. They make everything look tidy and make you feel like the kind of person who alphabetizes their pantry — even if your idea of meal prep is microwaving leftovers.
