Storage baskets – the stylish way to stay organised
A tidy home doesn't just feel good to be in - it also gives you peace of mind. As many of us juggle work, family life and everyday logistics, smart storage solutions have become a natural part of modern interior design - and baskets are an indispensable tool. They combine the practical with the aesthetic and help create space, overview and balance in the home.
With years of experience in Scandinavian interior design, we understand organisation and interior design, and we know how much of a difference it makes when function and style go hand in hand. Baskets create both order and character in your interior design.
Especially in Scandinavian-inspired homes where light, air and simplicity dominate, baskets are a light and flexible alternative to bulky cabinets and closed shelving. With storage baskets, you can create structure - without closing things in.
Here's why storage baskets are popular in interior design:
- They create visual calm in open spaces and shelving
- They make it easy to tidy up - quickly and neatly
- Available in designs and materials to suit any style
- They are flexible and can be used across rooms in your home
- They allow you to show personality - and order - at the same time
How to use storage baskets in your home:
Storage baskets are versatile and can be used throughout the home - from living room to bathroom to children's room. Below we provide inspiration on how you can use baskets to create order, cosiness and personality in different rooms:
- Living room: Use storage baskets for blankets, magazines, knitwear and decorations for warmth and cosiness without clutter.
- Bathroom: Small baskets for storing make-up and toiletries or large baskets for towels and toilet paper create order and clarity.
- Bedroom: A laundry basket with a lid makes even dirty clothes look elegant. Add a basket with handles to store cushions and bedspreads.
- Kids' room: Make tidying up a breeze with storage baskets for toys, teddy bears and dress-up clothes. Choose wicker baskets with lids or soft fabric baskets so the kids can help themselves.
- Kitchen: Fruit baskets, bread baskets or wooden boxes help you keep your table and shelves neat and organised.
- Home office: Organise papers and small items with desk baskets - functional and aesthetic at the same time.
Which storage basket fits your home?
When decorating your home, it's not just design and size that matter - the material of your baskets plays an important role in both function and style. With the right choice, you get a solution that suits your needs, your aesthetic and the individual room.
At Kitchen Living Dining, we have carefully selected our range to make it easy to find the right storage basket - whether you're looking for something minimalist, natural or child-friendly.
Choose material according to function and style - here are our recommendations:
-
Woven baskets - for warmth and naturalness
Woven baskets in water hyacinth, rattan or seagrass bring warmth and texture into your home. They work particularly well in the living room, bedroom or hallway where you want a relaxed, bohemian-inspired look. The natural materials create a cosy and calm atmosphere - perfect for everything from throws and cushions to plants and magazines.
-
Wire and metal baskets – practical storage with an industrial look
Metal and wire baskets have a robust and industrial look that makes them ideal in the bathroom, kitchen or office. We recommend them for those who want a modern and minimalist style where storage is visible and simple. Use them for towels, cleaning supplies or paperwork.
-
Fabric baskets - for flexible and soft storage
Fabric baskets are lightweight, collapsible and create a softer interior. They are particularly suitable for children's rooms, wardrobes and closets where they can be used for everything from toys and clothes to small items and accessories. We recommend fabric baskets if you want a lightweight and customisable solution.
-
Baskets with lids - for hidden storage
When you want to hide away clutter but still keep it accessible, baskets with lids are the obvious choice. We recommend them for the bedroom, living room and hallway where they can hide laundry, shoes or electronics - while keeping the look tidy and harmonious.
-
Baskets without lids - functionality and easy access
If you use your baskets often - for yarn, blankets or toys - lidless models are both practical and inviting. They work well in home common rooms and children's areas where quick access is important in everyday life.
Choose storage baskets from well-known brands
Here you'll find a wide selection of Danish and international brands that combine aesthetics and functionality - just as you would expect from world-class Danish design.
Our range of storage baskets includes carefully selected models from two of Denmark's strongest interior brands: Zone Denmark and Villa Collection.
Zone Denmark - modern minimalism and Danish design
Zone Denmark is known for its simple and functional expression where form and function go hand in hand. The brand is an icon of modern Scandinavian design, and their products combine clean lines, high quality and durability.
We carry a selection of stylish wire baskets and laundry baskets with lids in muted colours and matte finishes - perfect for those who want a minimalistic, calm and tidy look in a bathroom, bedroom or utility room.
Zone Denmark is ideal for those who like functional luxury and baskets that blend naturally into a modern home.
Villa Collection - natural materials and warm, Nordic ambience
Villa Collection creates interiors with soul - always based on craftsmanship, natural materials and Scandinavian trends. Their wicker baskets and basket sets in water hyacinth are ideal for those who love to surround themselves with soft shapes, warm colours and a relaxed atmosphere.
The Villa Collection baskets aren't just practical - they add a personalised and organic touch to any room. Use them in the living room for throws, in the children's room for toys or in the bedroom for pillows and bedspreads.
Villa Collection is perfect for those who want baskets that both fulfil a need and bring the peace and warmth of nature into the home.
FAQ: Frequently asked questions about storage baskets
When it comes to organising your home in style, many questions naturally arise. Here we've gathered the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions - so you can easily choose the right basket for your specific needs and style.
-
What type of basket should I choose for my laundry?
For laundry, we recommend a large basket with a lid that both hides the contents and retains odours. Choose a laundry basket with a handle so it's easy to move. For smaller spaces, a slim, tall basket is ideal as it takes up minimal floor space.
-
Can I use woven baskets for storage?
Yes, woven baskets are both decorative and practical. They are ideal for storing blankets, clothes, toys, yarn and magazines, and fit particularly well in Nordic and natural interiors. Just remember to use them in a dry environment for maximum durability.
-
Which baskets are best suited for the nursery?
We recommend soft fabric baskets or woven baskets with handles that are easy and safe for children to use themselves. They are perfect for toys, teddy bears and Lego bricks and make tidying up a breeze. The baskets can be placed on shelves, on the floor or under the bed.
-
Which baskets are best for the bathroom?
In the bathroom, it's important to use materials that can withstand moisture. Metal and wire baskets, or plastic models, are particularly suitable here. They are easy to clean and stay looking good even in a humid environment.
-
How do I clean my storage baskets?
Wicker baskets can be wiped with a slightly damp cloth and vacuumed gently to remove dust between the wickers. Metal and plastic baskets are more resistant and can be cleaned with mild soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid immersing natural materials in water as this can weaken the structure.
-
What size basket should I choose?
It depends on what you need to store. Small baskets (under 30cm) are great for make-up, keys and accessories. Medium baskets are perfect for books and clothes, while large baskets are ideal for blankets, cushions and laundry.
-
Can baskets be used as decoration or just for storage?
Absolutely! Most of our baskets combine form and function - you can use them to store practical items while adding warmth and texture to your interior. Especially baskets for plants or a basket set are perfect for creating decorative statements in the home.
-
Should I choose storage baskets with or without lids?
It depends on your needs. Baskets with lids are perfect for places where you want to hide the contents and maintain a calm look, for example in the bedroom. Baskets without lids provide quick access and work well in the kids' room, living room or kitchen where things are used daily.
