Living in a small space doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style. The key to making the most of limited space is finding versatile storage solutions that not only declutter but also enhance the overall decor. Wicker baskets are a perfect choice for small homes, apartments, or even student accommodation. With natural charm and functionality, they can help keep things tidy without taking up too much room. Here are some smart ways to maximize storage in small spaces using wicker baskets from Wovenhill.

Under-Bed Storage
One of the best ways to free up space in a small bedroom is to utilize the area under your bed. Slim, rectangular wicker baskets are perfect for storing off-season clothes, extra bedding, or shoes. This keeps everything neatly tucked away while still being easily accessible.

Vertical Storage with Stacked Baskets
When floor space is limited, think vertically! Stacking wicker baskets in a corner or on shelves is an easy way to add storage without cluttering your space. Use them to store books, paperwork, or even accessories like scarves and hats, creating an organised yet stylish display.

Maximize Wardrobe Space
Closet space in small homes is often a premium, but wicker baskets can help you stay organised. Use them on closet shelves to store smaller items like belts, handbags, and folded clothes. Larger wicker baskets can be placed on the floor to store shoes, blankets, or even laundry.

Wicker Baskets as Drawer Organisers
You can turn wicker baskets into handy drawer organisers in your bathroom, bedroom, or office. Smaller baskets fit neatly inside drawers, allowing you to separate items like socks, toiletries, or office supplies. This way, everything stays organised, and you’ll save time searching for what you need.

Kitchen and Pantry Organisation
In compact kitchens, finding room for everything can be a challenge. Wicker baskets are perfect for keeping your countertops and pantry tidy. Use them to store fruits, vegetables, or snacks in a way that’s both functional and decorative. You can also place wicker baskets on top of cabinets to store rarely used items while adding a touch of rustic charm.

Floating Shelves with Wicker Baskets
Floating shelves are a lifesaver in small spaces and pairing them with wicker baskets gives you a chic storage solution. Use the shelves to display plants, books, or decorative items, while wicker baskets hide clutter. This combo works perfectly in living rooms, bathrooms, or even entryways.

Bathroom Storage Solutions
Bathrooms are often one of the smallest spaces in a home, but they require a lot of storage for toiletries, towels, and cleaning supplies. Wicker baskets come to the rescue by offering a stylish yet functional way to store these essentials. Place a few on open shelves to store rolled-up towels or use smaller baskets on countertops to organise skincare products.
Available as a set of 4, this set of Kubu Storage Baskets are ideal for use under sinks or vanity units.

Hallway Organisation
Keeping a small hallway or entrance neat can be tricky, but wicker baskets make it easy. Use them to store shoes, scarves, or umbrellas so that your entryway stays clean and organised. You can place a wicker basket under a bench or hang one on the wall for keys and mail, saving precious floor space.

Laundry Storage in Tight Spaces
In small apartments or homes, laundry areas are often squeezed into corners or closets. A large wicker basket can double as a laundry hamper, offering a stylish alternative to bulky plastic ones. Place it in a corner or under a counter to keep your laundry area neat and functional.

Multi-Purpose Wicker Baskets for Everyday Use
The beauty of wicker baskets is that they are versatile enough to be used anywhere in your home. In small spaces, you can rotate their use based on your changing needs. For instance, a basket used to store blankets in the winter can be used to hold summer items like outdoor games, beach towels and sunhats when the seasons change. Flexibility is key when living in a small space, and wicker baskets provide just that.
