5 Chic Storage Bins to Keep Your Home Organized
Our “new normal” entails being at home most of the time. This means doing almost everything at the comforts of our house—from preparing presentations and attending virtual meetings, to helping the kids adjust to distance learning. That’s not even half the battle because there are a number of household chores to tackle throughout the day. All this flurry of activities can result in a pretty cluttered nest.
A simple solution: storage organizers that are both functional and stylish. Do away with those plastic bins that can be an eyesore. Check out these versatile storage baskets that will keep your abode well-organized.
Rattan trays
All the baking and cooking can leave your kitchen and pantry in a mess. Keep your kitchen counter tidy by organizing bottles of condiments and jars of baking ingredients in a tray.
To maintain an orderly pantry cabinet, store similar food items in one rattan basket. Corral canned or bottled goods in one bin, and packs of cookies and biscuits in another. Group similar food items together, and don’t forget to take note of their respective expiration dates.
If you’re a coffee enthusiast but don’t have space for a separate coffee cart, pick a spot on your counter that will serve as a coffee station. Place all your coffee brewing essentials in a wicker tray. A proper “café,” even if it’s just a simple setup at home, will make your brewing ritual a delightful experience.
Solihiya and leather basket
If you find yourself moving from one room to another, get help from this solihiya basket framed in leather. These materials are sturdy enough to help you lug around heavy documents, whether they’re for work or home schooling.
The elegant design of this container also makes it a classy catchall for any room in your home. Throw in any knickknacks here for sorting out later so they don’t lie around and add to the clutter.
Seagrass boxes
After sorting out clothes that spark joy, it’s time to keep them that way—organized. It’s easy to arrange clothes in hangers, but what about those small items that are the usual culprits in an unkempt closet? Fold then stack them in open boxes.
These lidless containers also come in handy when you want to keep your laundry area spic-and-span. Allot one box for laundry detergent and fabric softeners, and another for laundry bags, clips, and hangers.

These are perfect for organizing your home office and the kids’ study nook.

You can also use these woven storage baskets to tidy up your tots’ play area. Encourage them to store their toys in these organizers after playtime —a practical way to teach them the value of cleanliness.
