What's an item that can help you organize every room in your home, helps create
appearance that you're a tidy housekeeper (even if you're not), and perks up your decorating scheme?Need another hint?
It comes in all shapes, sizes, colors and materials and can be found in many local retail stores, including craft stores and discount retailers, and at flea markets and craft shows and well basically it's a universal item found all over world. You probably have one right now in your home.
It's a basket!
So next time someone gives you one filled with anything from sweets to colognes, don't discard it once you've used what's in it. Once items are gone, basket's job has only just begun. Read onward to find out how to use this wonderful item in every room in your house.
For instance, in kitchen, you can use hanging wall pocket baskets, which have flat backs, to store dry sponges and scrubbers as well as pot holders, oven mitts, dry dish rags and spare kitchen hand towels.
And in your family room or den, you might use a deep, round or cylindrical shaped basket on coffee table to hold television or other electronic remotes. A basket made of rags will slide without scratching (or put a doily underneath). (Imagine never losing television remote again because you have an assigned place to put it in full view--that blends in with your home decor.)
And in bedroom, a wicker hamper with a lid in closet can store extra pillows and keep them dust-free. If you see openings in wicker slats or don't like your linens snagging on inside of basket, line hamper with a sheet or large gallon trash bag.
