Imagine walking into a home that feels calm, beautifully styled, and effortlessly organised - a space where everything has its place and you can truly unwind. This kind of serene environment is achievable, but daily life has a way of introducing clutter. When surfaces become crowded and cupboards overflow, even the most charming home can start to feel stressful. That’s where woven baskets come in. Offering a blend of natural beauty and smart functionality, they help you stay tidy while adding warmth and texture to every room. Here are five thoughtful ways to use woven baskets to restore order and create a more relaxed, inviting home.

Organise Your Entryway with Deep Storage Baskets
First impressions matter. When you walk through the door and are greeted by piles of shoes, tangled scarves, and random bags, it sets a stressful tone. Using woven baskets in your entryway creates instant order. Deep, open baskets can hold shoes neatly, while smaller, structured baskets can be used for keys, post, sunglasses, and reusable shopping bags.
Wovenhill’s tall willow baskets are perfect for shoes and boots, while shallow seagrass trays are ideal for smaller grab-and-go essentials. Choose baskets with built-in handles for easy lifting and moving, especially if you have kids who tend to drop their belongings everywhere.
Style tip: Match your baskets to your hallway furniture for a seamless look. Natural tones work well with wood, while darker baskets pair beautifully with metal frames and modern designs.
Quick Tip: Label baskets if you have a busy household, so everyone knows where their things belong.

Tidy Up Your Living Room with Stylish Woven Solutions
The living room is meant to be a place of comfort and relaxation, but when everyday items build up, it becomes another source of stress. Remote controls, board games, throw blankets, magazines, and children’s toys tend to scatter across sofas, tables, and floors. Woven baskets can help gather everything together without sacrificing style.
Use a large, lidded wicker basket to store extra cushions and throws. These baskets not only hide the mess but also double up as stylish accent pieces. Smaller, soft-sided baskets are perfect for stacking magazines or keeping gaming controllers and TV remotes tidy on shelving units or under coffee tables.
Basket choice: Look for rectangular or oval lidded baskets for maximum storage with a tidy finish.
Style tip: Layer a few different baskets in a corner with throws and books to create a relaxed, curated look.
Quick Tip: Choose matching sets to keep the look cohesive, or mix sizes for a more casual, lived-in feel.

Create a Clutter-Free Bedroom with Smart Basket Storage
Bedrooms should be places of peace, not piles of laundry and scattered accessories. Woven baskets are a stylish way to manage the clutter that tends to build up around dressing tables, bedside stands and wardrobes. Use small lidded baskets for storing jewellery, watches, and skincare products neatly on top of dressers. A medium woven underbed basket is ideal for seasonal clothing, spare bedding, or even shoes.
Choosing breathable baskets is important in bedrooms, especially for storing fabrics. Natural wicker and rattan allow air to circulate, keeping your belongings fresh and dust-free.
Basket choice: Underbed woven baskets with lids are perfect for discreet storage without losing accessibility.
Style tip: Choose baskets in soft grey tones or whitewashed finishes to maintain a light, airy bedroom feel.
Quick Tip: Use a set of three or four matching baskets to store belts, scarves, and small accessories inside your wardrobe for a cleaner, more organised setup.

Refresh Your Bathroom with Practical Woven Organisers
Bathrooms can easily become cluttered with an overflow of towels, toiletries, and cleaning supplies. However, many traditional storage solutions can look bulky or too clinical. Woven baskets, especially those with waterproof linings, offer a softer, spa-like approach while staying practical.
A large woven laundry basket can hide away dirty clothes stylishly, while smaller baskets are perfect for rolled-up towels, bath products, and cosmetics. You can even use mini seagrass baskets on shelves to hold cotton pads, soaps, and other essentials.
Basket choice: Choose waterproof-lined baskets for bathrooms to protect the natural weave from dampness and humidity.
Style tip: Keep to a neutral colour palette; beige, light brown, and white to enhance the spa feel.
Quick Tip: Roll towels before placing them in a basket to maximise space and add a luxury hotel-style look.

Streamline Your Kitchen with Rustic Basket Charm
The kitchen is one of the busiest and most clutter-prone areas in any home. Woven baskets offer a fresh, stylish way to keep essentials organised and within easy reach, without crowding your worktops or cabinets. Open-top baskets are perfect for storing fresh fruits and vegetables, keeping them both accessible and neatly contained. Structured woven baskets work brilliantly in the pantry, grouping similar items together like snacks, baking supplies, or breakfast essentials.
Woven baskets are also a great solution for everyday tableware. Use them to hold napkins, placemats, and cutlery neatly, ready for casual meals or special gatherings. Larger baskets are ideal for storing table linens, helping you stay organised while adding a natural, relaxed charm to your dining setup.
Basket choice: Use strong, structured baskets that maintain their shape even when filled.
Style tip: Stick to one basket style throughout the kitchen for a neat and consistent appearance.
Quick Tip: Keep a labelled basket for items that need to be restocked (like flour, coffee, or cereals) to simplify your shopping trips.
