PANTRY
1. For All Those Loose Bags of Snacks
A cute wire basket will inspire you to get the overwhelming number of bagged snacks in your pantry under control. It also helps that this option is Chip and Joanna Gaines–approved.
2. For Those Copious Amounts of Produce
If you find your kitchen has an apple here, an onion there and a few tomatoes atop the breadbox, this three-tiered caddy will make storing your produce way easier. And it may even inspire you to eat fresher, too.
3. For The Mass of Snack Bags Piled Up In The Cupboard
Perhaps this isn’t the most stylish storage basket, but boy, is it functional. It helps to eliminate boxes and bags and stores individual or snack-sized foods without having clutter.
PETS
4. For The Spoiled Canine
Some pets require lots of, well, things. From food to toys to treats, the list is never-ending. Keep everything in one central (and very cute) location for easy access and better organization.
5. For the Treat-Obsessed
There’s no questioning who this basket’s for. The bone shape is playful, yet the woven hyacinth material keeps it from skewing hokey.
6. For the Pet Who Always Wants to Play
Lidded baskets or bins let you stow toys without having to take in the visual clutter of the (oft-chewed and mangled-looking) toys, and they help keep Krol the Warrior King from grabbing toys whenever and dropping them all over the house.
KIDS
7. For The Princess’s Dress-Up Clothes
This pompom-covered bin is too cute to pass up. It can easily store dress-up clothes or be used as a hamper.
8. For Your Little Adventurer
Surely, a colorful and decorated bin like this will encourage your little one to clean up. Plus, we love that it’s gender neutral.
9. FOR THE KID WITH NONSTOP PLAY DATES
We love a household item with dual functions. You can store this adorable bin in your little one’s room and use it as a travel bag to hold their toys when you’re on the go.
BEDROOM
10. For Those Who Use Their Nightstand as A Catchall
It’s nearly impossible to have a room that looks clean with a cluttered nightstand. This bedside pocket stores all of your essentials, like your phone, books and even glasses.
11. For All The Little Items That Have No Home
We get it; there are some important items that just don’t fit into a specific category or have a category worth making its own. That’s where this trio of baskets comes in handy.
12. For The Man Who Is Obsessed With His Wardrobe
Of course, this divider can be used however you please (Socks! Jewelry! Nonperishable snacks, because who doesn’t need snacks wherever they are?!), but there’s something about a compartmentalized organizer that seems perfect for ties and cufflinks.
BATHROOM
13. For The One With Depleted Closet Space
The bathroom is one of those rooms in the house that must be fully stocked at all times. This tiered basket unit puts all of those bathroom essentials on display beautifully and frees up space in your linen closet for other necessities.
14. For Those Itsy-Bitsy, Teeny-Weeny Bathrooms
Truth be told, not every bathroom is grand and spacious. For those that have just enough room to step out of the shower, these wall baskets allow your storage to double as room decor.
15. For The One With an Overflowing Hamper
If you find your hamper is constantly full, try adding one to your bathroom (if you have the space). Put it in the corner to toss dirty towels and washcloths in post-shower.

LIVING ROOM
16. For The Hidden Storage That Needs To Double As Decor
In a living space, opting for closed baskets like this one allows you to store those unsightly items without ruining your decor.
17. For The One Who Doesn’t Miss A Styling Opportunity
Every living space needs an end table, and this one is a great way to store blankets and pillows while still giving guests a place to put plates or cups.
18. For The Family With An Open-Door Policy
If your house is constantly buzzing with guests or you have a large family, this ottoman not only stores shoes and cold-weather must-haves, but it also doubles as extra seating.
