A fresh start begins at home.
There’s something energising about stepping into a new year with a space that feels calm, intentional, and beautifully organised. Whether you’re resetting after the holidays or creating new rhythms for 2026, the right storage pieces make all the difference — not only in how your home looks, but how it feels to live in.
At Basketly, we believe organisation should be both functional and beautiful. Our handwoven baskets bring warmth, purpose and structure, helping you simplify your daily spaces with natural ease. Below, we’re sharing some of our favourite storage staples and how to use them throughout your home.
1. Wicker Tapered Rectangular Storage Basket — Your Stylish All-Rounder
This classic, tapered silhouette instantly elevates any room. Its structured shape makes it perfect for areas where you want storage to feel seamless rather than bulky.
Where it works best:
- Living Room: Store throws, scatter cushions, or magazines for a tidy, intentional look.
- Entryway: Use it as a drop-zone for shoes, umbrellas, and school bags.
- Laundry Room: Sort light vs. dark washing with beautifully woven texture.
Its slim, tapered form fits into shelves, under benches, and alongside furniture without taking over — effortless, neutral organisation at its best.
2. Hyacinth Storage Basket — Soft Texture, Big Impact
Hyacinth baskets bring an organic softness that suits almost every interior style. Chunky, warm-toned and generously sized, they’re ideal for spaces where you want functional storage without sacrificing homeliness.
Where to use it:
- Bathrooms: Roll towels neatly and pop them inside for a spa-like feel.
- Kids’ Rooms: Toys, books, and soft animals are instantly contained and easy to grab.
- Bedrooms: Use a pair at the end of the bed for slippers, bedding, or night-time essentials.
If you’re looking to add texture while keeping clutter out of sight, hyacinth is the answer.
3. Rattan Rectangular Storage Basket with Handles — Your Everyday Grab-and-Go Basket
Portable, durable, and beautifully handwoven, this piece is all about convenience. The sturdy handles make it perfect for items that you move around often — or for households where storage needs shift daily.
How to use it:
- Pantry & Kitchen: Store snacks, dry goods, or baking essentials for easy access.
- Laundry Routine: Carry clothing from room to room or store detergents neatly.
- Home Office: Keep stationery, cables, and accessories in one movable spot.
These baskets make organising feel easy — even on busy days.
4. Rattan Square Storage Baskets — The Secret to a Calm Home
Square baskets maximise space beautifully, fitting neatly into shelving units, cupboards, and open storage. If you’re aiming for a cohesive, streamlined look, these are a must.
Perfect for:
- Wardrobes: Store accessories, scarves, handbags, and seasonal clothing.
- Linen Cupboard: Sort bedding, pillowcases, and table linens by type.
- Living Areas: Create uniform storage for books, board games, and media items.
Mix sizes across your home for a coordinated system that makes everything look and feel purposeful.
Simple New Year Organisation Tips
Start with one room at a time
Small wins build motivation. Begin with a high-traffic area like the entryway, kitchen, or bathroom.
Choose storage that stays beautiful
Natural materials like rattan, hyacinth, and wicker add warmth while blending effortlessly with any décor style.
Group similar items together
Rather than scattering belongings across multiple baskets, group by category — it keeps your home intuitive and functional.
Use baskets that suit the space
Shallow baskets for shelves, tall baskets for laundry, square baskets for cubbies, and handled baskets for daily use.
Start 2026 with a Home That Feels Like You
A beautifully organised home isn’t about perfection — it’s about creating spaces that make life easier, calmer, and more enjoyable. Whether you’re refreshing one corner or rethinking your whole house, Basketly’s natural storage pieces bring harmony and effortless style into every room.
