18 New Uses for Baskets By Alexa Yablonski
Put these pretty organizing tools to work.
Medium Baskets
Totable tool kit (shown). Lugging around a giant toolbox to hang artwork can be a drag―literally. Lighten your load with a basket filled with just the bare essentials.
Towel dispenser. In a guest bathroom, keep rolled-up hand towels next to the sink.
Umbrella stand. Placed inside a tightly woven, rust-resistant basket, wet umbrellas dry in no time.
File holder. Give your home office a less buttoned-up look by organizing folders in a basket.
Green upgrade. A plant in a plastic pot looks much better when the pot is in a decorative basket. Place a saucer underneath the pot for drips.
Gift-wrap center. Pile wrapping supplies in a long container that you can store on a closet shelf until the next birthday or holiday rolls around.
