Are you always looking for a new place to put something? Baskets have become a stylish way to promote house cleaning by keeping things in your home organized. They come in a multitude of sizes, colors, and shapes. They come with covers, in shelves, and with or without handles, so it’s safe to say there’s a basket out there just right for you.

Here are some ideas for how to use a basket in every room in your house for added organization without sacrificing order: 

Baskets in the kitchen are especially useful in cabinets. Use small baskets to hold medicines or spices; larger baskets can hold plastic storage containers or baking pans. If you are an avid coffee or tea drinker, you can also use one to store all of the accessories for making yourself a cup every morning.

Baskets are perfect for the family room and have a multitude of functions. If you often subscribe to magazines or newspapers you keep in the room to read, a basket is a great way to keep these things together while still in reach. Keep it near your favorite reading chair so you will have it in reach—and so you will be more likely to put it back when you’re done!

A basket in the family room can also be great for storing craft items if you knit, crochet, cross stitch, or are an occasional seamstress.

Movie lover in your family? You can easily find a basket for that DVD collection that keeps the mess at bay but the movies close at hand.

Keep baskets in the dining room to hold things like tablecloths, placemats, and napkins. If you frequently decorate, you might use baskets to hold onto decorative items and centerpieces, and if you work or craft on your dining room table, you can keep a basket nearby with your supplies.

Baskets look beautiful in bathrooms, and can be extremely handy for holding rolls of toilet paper, extra towels and rags, or magazines and books. Under the sink, plastic baskets are great for storing cleaning supplies, and in the medicine cabinet and drawers, it’s much easier to organize your small items with narrow plastic or lined baskets.
