The 20 Best Designer Baskets for Your Dream Home

Baskets are the new accessories that have become an imperative addition to any home. They come in all shapes, sizes, and materials. Their purpose is infinite, and you can use them for solely decorative intent. They do add a nice aesthetic to any room, and they have them for any budget. From a few dollars to a few hundred, you will find your perfect basket.

Whatever you need to store, they have a basket for that. If you prefer wicker, plastic, or even fabric baskets, there are some on the market. You can find them on Amazon, department stores such as Target or Walmart, but some other stores such as West Elm, Anthropologie, among many other smaller businesses that cater to homewares.

Consider the size and weight of the basket, and the purpose you intend to use it for. For example a basket that is for your children’s room should be light and easy for them to lift on their own.

Wool blankets, scarves, or other items that are considered more delicate should be placed in baskets that are made from materials such as polypropylene, or are lined with plastic so your items won’t snag.

Figure out the style you prefer as well. The baskets should complement the decor you already have going on. It should also work with your personal taste, because you are the one that will have to live with them.

Practicality is also important. A laundry basket that is used on a regular basis should probably be made of a sturdy material that will last you a few years. Whereas a more unique piece that is mainly used for decor purposes can be made from a more delicate material.

Last but not least, consider your budget. If you need to get lots of baskets to replace getting a whole new closet system for example, you probably won’t be looking at the more expensive hand woven baskets. Practicality is also important.

We will show you some of our favorite ones on the list that follows, and we truly hope you will find some that you like.

Without delaying any longer, let’s take a look at the 20 best designer baskets for your dream home.

19. Room Essentials Large Woven Basket
