Declutter and Organize Your Closets with Baskets
If space is an issue in the closets throughout your living space, baskets can offer the perfect storage solution. Whether we’re talking about a dorm, apartment, or two-story home, we could all use some extra space for clothes, shoes, and accessories.
Baskets provide an easy way to store your off-season items under your bed, on top shelves of your closet, or even in beautiful decorative baskets with lids you can decorate your rooms with.
Many large storage baskets offer cotton inserts to keep your clothing and accessories from snags. They even have storage baskets with easy-access lift-off lids for quick access and handles for functionality.
One of our favorite styles to use in closets is a tapered storage basket which allows you to keep like items organized while having a clear visual of what’s inside.
They are perfect for winter hats, scarves, or small purses and wallets. Pull it down, grab what you need, and return it to its spot when you’re finished!
Declutter and Organize Your Pantry with Baskets
When your pantry is a disaster, it’s difficult to plan meals, pack the kids’ lunches, or put new groceries away in an orderly fashion.
Baskets have been a lifesaver in our pantry. Whether you choose beautifully woven wicker baskets or easy to clean plastic baskets, they make organizing, and life, easier.
My best tip for utilizing baskets to organize your pantry is to group like items together in zones. Don’t overthink it.
Group your baskets in a way that works for you and your family. It has removed the feeling of walking into the pantry and staring at too many choices and never knowing what we want.
Some of my favorite ways to organize the baskets in our pantry include:
- separating main items by breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack zones
- keep a separate area for the kids’ lunch and after school snacks
- most canned and boxed items, like pasta, sauces, and veggies, have a section within the dinner zone
Declutter and Organize Your Living Room with Baskets
Smaller spaces in your home or office can often seem cluttered, even with your necessities. Living rooms benefit from decorative baskets, as they add beauty to the room while providing extra storage space. You can easily hide blankets, magazines, and extra device power cords in plain sight.
When the kids were little, using toy baskets were ideal for tidying up toys. Instead of dragging puzzle pieces and cars throughout the house, we kept a few small baskets they could utilize when we were in the family room.
It made clean up a breeze and they learned to help keep their items in their special places.
While you can utilize baskets in every space in your home and office, we hope these top three tips help jumpstart your decluttering and organizing goals.
