Did you know that you can use baskets for more than just storing groceries? It’s true. While the most common use of baskets is to store grocery items, it can also be used in the bedroom, bathroom, living room, and even the kitchen itself. In this article, we’ll be going over some examples of things you can store in Bashiri baskets besides groceries so you can get inspired to use your basket in new ways.
1) Laundry
A basket makes an excellent laundry hamper. Make sure you use one that’s large enough to hold all of your clothes. It will also make it easier for you to carry the basket when you need to take it outside and dump it into the washing machine. That said, I recommend only using this method for smaller loads. Any more than about four days’ worth of clothes, and you’ll find yourself fighting with the top part of the lid and having to keep repositioning everything inside because there’s not enough room as things shift.
2) Shoes
Baskets are great for storing shoes. Just put them near the front door or inside your closet and you will always be able to find the right pair of shoes when you need it. If there is too much clutter in your living space, baskets can help you hide all that mess by adding organization to your room. They can even act as an accent piece by being placed on top of your fireplace or shelf as décor.
3) Toys
Kids love baskets. And they are great for storing more than just groceries. Kids love baskets and they make perfect, easy containers for toys of all shapes and sizes. Just be sure to line the bottom with something soft to cushion any hard surfaces if you plan on stacking them up high.
4) Toiletries
Baskets are great for storing toiletries, like toothpaste and shampoo. They can be tucked away in your bathroom cabinet or on your dresser, keeping them out of the way and organized. Other knick-knacks: Other things you might find inside Bashiri baskets are books (just put them on top of other items) or remotes from TV sets.
5) Pets
While baskets are most commonly used to store groceries, they can also be used for other things around the house. For instance, if you have pets, then you can use a basket as an alternative to a litter box or food dish. Just make sure that you keep it off the ground and clean on a regular basis. To avoid having your supplies scattered all over the room when looking for something specific, just dump them into the basket.
