Why I use baskets for storage in my home:
- Eco-friendly, coming from fast growing crops
- Biodegradable at end of life
- Long-lasting if cared for
- Available from Fairtrade companies (helps communities generate own income)
- Look good, obvs 😉
- Versatile, I use baskets in my own bathroom, wardrobe, kitchen and office
Can be used for – toiletries, as drawer dividers for clothes, linens, towels, toys, packet foods in the kitchen, and office items like paperwork and stationery (anywhere except where they might be exposed to sustained damp)
While researching some baskets this week I noticed some lined baskets were on offer @La Redoute – 35% sale on these (see below).
Why I like lined baskets:
- Easier to clean (the material comes out and can be washed in a machine)
- The material protects what’s in it, like clothes
- Comes in 3 sizes so you can match the size to what you are storing.
See fairtrade baskets at Bolga Baskets, Ethical Superstore and Natural Collection
Also see lined baskets at @ The Basket Company. You get non-lined baskets at @Wilkos @John Lewis @Ebay
