What do magazines, flowers, fruit, wrapping paper, and towels all have in common? They all fit riiiight in a basket. Artisans have been handcrafting these versatile vessels since 8000 BC. Good thing, too. The neutral colors are super easy to incorporate into any design scheme and unlike plastic containers, the natural weave of baskets adds texture and interest. Interested? Look around. Opportunities for organization are in every room. Hide cluttered office supplies by picking a basket with a lid. Keep your literature (read: tabloids) together in a basket next to the sofa. In the kitchen, add a pop of color by gathering some wax produce for a—you guessed it—fruit basket. And those top shelves that are just a little too high to reach? Make them less hazardous with a few pieces of hand-woven wicker.

Finally, keep in mind that well-made baskets don’t have to cost you an arm and a leg. Compare the prices below to our competitors. And save that arm and leg. You’ll need them for organizing.
