Living room: From Chaos to Cosy
Ever walk through your living room, look around, and think, “Wow, it’s like a tornado blew through here?” We’ve all been there. The remote’s hiding under the couch, you can barely see the floor for the kids’ toys, your books and magazines are stuffed under cushions, and your knitting project is now the cat’s next plaything.
Well, take a deep breath and imagine your living room as an oasis of calm. Anything is possible with wicker baskets! With just a few baskets (or one massive one) you can turn your dream of a calm, tidy living room into a reality. They’re the perfect hideaway for books, magazines, remotes, gaming controllers, toys, and other odds and ends that tend to wander off.
Even better, get one with a lid and boom, it’s a trendy side table. Need a place to store your cosy throws when the weather is nice? Your new basket friend has got you covered!

Bathroom: Spa vibes only
Are you ready to transform your everyday bathroom into a serene, spa-like retreat? With the power of wicker baskets, that’s not only possible but also fun and easy.
Let’s face it, bathrooms (especially the small ones we tend to have here in the UK) can quickly become cluttered with towels, toiletries, and all those other necessary items. But clutter and relaxation don’t mix, right? That’s where our trusty friend the wicker basket comes in.
Consider a large, lidded wicker basket for your fresh, fluffy towels. Not only does it keep them neatly stored, but it also adds a touch of hotel-chic to your bathroom. Add a smaller basket for hand towels and face cloths for a coordinated look.
Next, let’s tackle the toiletries. They seem to multiply overnight, don’t they? A handy set of small to medium wicker baskets can help you take care of that. Have one for your everyday essentials like face wash, toothpaste, and moisturisers, and another for those less frequently used items like face masks or extra shower gels. You could even add a little one for items like bobby pins and hair ties that always seem to go missing. Suddenly, your bathroom is transformed into a vision of calm and organisation.

Bedroom: Goodbye, under-bed monsters
Ever peek under your bed, only to be met with a jumble of who-knows-what? Don’t worry, we all have a few under bed monsters. Whether it’s bedding you never use unless everything else is in the wash, clothes you’re determined to get back into one day, or knick-knacks you had no idea where else to hide, under the bed can quickly become a clutter magnet.
The good news: wicker baskets are here to sort it all out and bring some much-needed peace to your bedroom sanctuary. Imagine a row of beautiful baskets, each providing a home for different items that have been lurking under your bed or at the bottom of your wardrobe. No more mess, and no more hunting for that missing shoe.
Start with a large wicker basket or hamper for out-of-season clothes. Neatly folded summer dresses or jumpers find a new home here, and when the season changes, simply switch them out with your current wardrobe. Plus, if you don’t have the room under your bed, you can easily use a wicker storage hamper as an ottoman at the bottom or display it in a corner of your room.
How about your shoe collection? A wicker basket can keep them neatly paired and dust-free. No more fumbling around trying to find a matching pair when you’re running late in the morning. Plus, wicker baskets make for great under-stair storage, so you can keep shoes out of your bedroom and closer to the front door.
And it doesn’t stop there. Got extra bedding or throw pillows that you only use occasionally? A medium-sized wicker basket can hold them until they’re needed, freeing up precious space.
Even better - wicker baskets aren’t just practical, they’re also a décor dream. Wicker adds a warm, natural touch to your bedroom, creating a relaxing, organised space perfect for getting your beauty sleep.

Art supplies can be neatly stored away in wicker baskets, too. Paints, brushes, crayons, and colouring books can have neat homes of their own. An organised art stations means your little Picasso can unleash their creativity whenever inspiration strikes – and keep mess to a minimum, too.
