Using baskets at home is a kind of two-in-one in the world of decoration: in a flash, we have a decorative element that can also serve as storage – thus having a dual function. And this is what makes baskets so popular.
"Moreover, we currently find this type of item in different sizes, materials, and colors, which allows us to adapt them to our decorative style in our homes and to what best fits our needs. You can certainly see this at Uma Cantik, where the baskets are one of the products that make us the proudest. Everyone says it, and it's true: they are even more beautiful in person."
"We think of baskets as an essential element in any home, especially because they can have a variety of uses and be placed in any room. Don't believe it? We have six good reasons that will convince you otherwise. So, stay tuned."
Six reasons to use baskets at home
Beautiful, elegant, large or small, colorful or plain, with details or minimalist lines: there are baskets for all tastes and you will find numerous benefits in their use.
- Plant basket
"Having spent so much time in confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic led us to observe our home with different eyes and even to experience it in a different way. New needs arose, due to teleworking, for example, where we had to find a little corner to set up all the equipment for the home office."
"Therefore, we became aware that we have too many things that we do not need or use. However, other materials or elements started to make more sense, especially to make the house feel lighter and more peaceful. And plants have that ability, as they are our simple way of bringing a bit of Nature inside the house."
"That's why plant baskets can provide us with a more zen and relaxing feeling. The green color of the plants conveys lightness in our homes and could not look better inside a basket."
- Storage basket
One of the major problems in many homes is having practical and functional storage spaces. It is true that more modern homes are designed with this in mind and, as such, have various cabinets spread throughout the rooms of the house.
But not all of us live in houses that meet our needs, so we have to adapt ourselves to the spaces we have, being able to transform them to our liking.
Without having to spend money on major renovations, including storage baskets will make a big difference in your home: it will allow you to store whatever you want, in plain sight or in a more discreet way – you decide.
"Moreover, everything that is organized in a basket is easily accessible, which will also save time in that regard."
- Basket for storing blankets
Unfortunately, it seems that summer has really passed and autumn has come in full force. The fallen leaves on the ground, the shorter days, the cold felt at the end of the day remind us of this. And it really gives that desire to get home as soon as possible, sit on the couch, wrap ourselves in a blanket, and watch a movie or a series on Netflix.
As such, the next suggestion for using baskets at home is precisely related to this: you can use the basket to store blankets in the living room, in the bedroom, or in a corner of the hallway. This way, you always have this accessory on hand that makes us feel so cozy at this time, instead of them simply being scattered around the house.
"It is also a good way to create good tidying habits with your family, starting with the little ones, who will learn where the blankets are and will be able to get them when they want."
