Let’s face it: Even the tidiest among us can sometimes accumulate messes that become overwhelming. The worst case scenario is when your counter, nightstand, or bathroom shelves become consumed with “stuff” that’s simply too small or miscellaneous to put in any particular place. Bobby pins, chargers, paperwork… that type of stuff. That’s where wicker baskets (my all time favorite organizing solution) come into play. Wicker baskets not only keep messes out of sight, but they’re also the perfect home for random items when you just don’t know where else to put them.

Whenever I move into a new apartment or feel like I’m accumulating too much, I instantly throw a few wicker baskets into my shopping cart. They’re the perfect place to house things like towels, washcloths, extra candles, and even hats and belts. So long as I put items of a similar category together, I virtually never forget where anything is. Perhaps that’s why these woven beauties never go out of style.

And since I’m always spreading the gospel of wicker baskets, I’ve rounded up 7 of my favorites under $30 for you to shop below.

HyakuOku Handwoven Basket, Set of 2

$30

This chic boho basket set might just be one of the coolest options on this list. The looser weave on this one makes it easy to see what's inside. Hang it up in your kitchen as an easy-to-access vessel for fruits and vegetables, or throw it on the hooks in your bathroom to store extra washcloths. The possibilities are endless.
