What do you think of the idea that you free your table from all the remote controls and place them in the basket. Functional, isn’t it?
Gift wrapping
A lot of families that own a property with moderate size have their own gift wrapping corner, separated somewhere in the house. Our next idea is to use the handy baskets that are ready to accommodate all your wrapping accessories. In this example, you can see how a picnic basket enjoys its new purpose. The bottle sections have a new role – to store scissors, ribbons and all the lovely stuff that you need to make the happy surprise for someone.
Home office
Nowadays our lives are dynamic, full of tension, electronics and work. Many of us have their own working space at home. Usually it is a desk that has a computer or laptop on it and a lot of papers and other working materials. In this case, the basket also appears to be handy. You can store there all the little papers, notes, pens and pencils, flash disks, business cards, etc. When you choose the right shape of the basket, make sure that it has hard sides and flat bottom. If you take a basket made of soft material, you won’t be able to use its capacity, because it will always be languid. If you take our advice, you will surely convince yourself that your documents and envelopes will not be rumpled any more.
Laundry
In almost every household there is a laundry basket that is used for placing the old clothes that has already been worn. In the same place, we usually have an ironing corner. If you love living in an organized and stylish place, you can add some creative and elegant character to your room by using a proper basket.

Placing a drawer is also an option, but there is no need to mention the differences between the area that takes a drawer and a basket. You’d better choose a fixed shape again because you will definitely need it. Make sure you have the small water vessel that fills the iron, the soft towel that becomes useful when you have to iron delicate materials and you lint removal. You already know where is the most comfortable place to store them.
Bedside table
Placing a basket right next to your bed is the most clever thing that one can do for his bedroom. The coziness suddenly flows into the room tight after leaving the basket on the floor. And it ads a kind of welcoming character to the place. There is a lot of stuff that we need before we go to sleep or just after we wake up. The most commonly used things are the remote control, the bottle of water, candles, lighter, books, aroma oils and others. You do not need a special table for your basket. Just leave it on the floor and enjoy its presence. Of course, it will be good if you match its color with the rest of the furniture and the interior design style. Another great idea to have a second small and flexible basket – to store not so often needed things, like tissues, reading glasses, etc. The second storage can be placed under the bed in a position that can easily be reached.
Beach
Now, let’s head to the beach. But wait! How can we carry all the stuff that we need there? The good old basket comes at hand again. Stop wasting time on searching for your tan creme, hat, sunglasses, car keys, toys and all the other private stuff. Just organize them in your basket and go to swim undisturbed. And there is no need to take the beach items out of the basket afterwards. Just hang it somewhere and you will love the time passing it by, especially when the winter comes.
