5 Great Everyday Uses for Baskets

One of the best ways to clear clutter in your house is to take advantage of one of the most affordable and versatile items out there: baskets! Here are some great ways to organize your house using baskets.  

Snack Holder  

Put some afternoon snacks for your children in small baskets. Place the baskets on a low-level shelf for easy access.

Remote Control Center

Almost everyone deals with a missing remote control once in a while. Designate a basket for all your remote controls and avoid the hassle of searching through your couch cushions for them.

Towel Dispenser

You can use a basket to store your hand towels in the bathroom. This is especially great for guest bathrooms. Roll up the towels, place them in the basket, and put the basket near the sink for your guests.

Crafts Organizer

Place your tape measurer, scissors, hot glue gun, and other crafts tools into a basket to keep them organized in one place.

Silverware Carrier

Whether it is at an outdoor BBQ or dinner at home, it’s always great to have a basket with all the necessary silverware in place. It also makes transporting your silverware to different locations much easier.

Stationary Organizer

Ever found yourself searching the entire room for a pen or pencil? Well, using a basket as a stationary organizer is the perfect solution. Keep your pens, pencils, sticky notes, and note pads in a basket for easy access.
