New Life for Old Storage Baskets

I'm very happy to see you today!

Has spring cleaning been on your agenda? Whatever the season, it's a good habit to tidy our spaces and give away the things that no longer spark joy.

Well, someone in our apartment building got rid of these storage baskets. They're still in great shape and here are a few ideas on how they can be used in a new home:

I would put it in an office or den to store anything from files, paper, user manuals or tech-related paraphernalia like chargers and cables. The muted tones of the baskets and accents make the look clean and cohesive.

Another option is to use these baskets in the linen closet to corral hand towels, pillow cases and extra toiletries allowing more shelf space.

These storage baskets are a big help in the pantry, too. Group together similar items such as bags of rice and beans, baking ingredients, canned goods, paper goods and cleaning supplies. Label accordingly so that they're easy to find.

One of the best spots to put these storage baskets are in a child's bedroom or playroom. This way, all their toys and books have a place to go.

Here's a neat solution for the craft room. The storage baskets are used in two ways: (1) as drawers to fit a dresser; (2) as shelves to display colorful craft materials.

One person's trash is indeed another person's treasure! These are just a few suggestions on how to turn old storage baskets from blah to TADA!

If you must get rid of your unwanted items, consider selling them on Facebook Marketplace, Kaiyo or Mercari. You can also donate them to places like The Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity ReStore or Goodwill.
