Searching for living room decor ideas? Look no further than our beautiful wicker baskets for combined living room storage and decor. With wicker storage baskets, there’s no need to choose between aesthetics and practicality—they’ve got it all. Read on for all the guidance you need to select the perfect basket for your living room blanket storage.
Make It Easy to Grab a Warm Blanket While on the Living Room Couch
Especially in the cooler months, we think you’ll agree that having easy access to plenty of couch throw blankets is absolutely essential. Not just to keep your body warm, but also your soul—if cultivating a cozy vibe in your home is a priority for you, it’s hard to imagine anything cozier than a handcrafted wicker basket full of soft, warm blankets right in reach of your living room couch!
With your blanket storage situated in the ideal spot, there’s no need to get up and grab a blanket when your toes get chilly. Instead, you (and whoever you might be sitting with!) can stay comfortably nestled exactly where you are and simply reach over to grab your favorite throw.
Add Classic Style
What sets wicker baskets apart from other living room storage solutions is that they’re as attractive as they are useful. They add the warm look of natural rattan—a climbing palm with flexible stems that, when dried, are the perfect sustainable material for all kinds of woven creations—to your living space. And aesthetically speaking, they’re a far cry from common alternatives like plastic storage bins, which are best relegated to a closet or other hidden space.
Because wicker baskets have a classic feel, they’ll never go out of style. This means they’re equally at home in a minimal, modern living room as they are in a more traditionally styled space. When paired with wooden furniture and natural fabrics, wicker baskets bring out the inherent warmth of these materials. On the other hand, when paired with neutral colors and clean lines, wicker baskets offer a pleasant naturalistic contrast that doesn’t overwhelm or clash with the modernist aesthetic.
The fact that wicker never goes out of style makes it all the more appealing that wicker baskets are so durable. With the right care and maintenance, well-constructed, handmade wicker baskets like the ones we sell at The Basket Lady can last for decades. It’s as simple as keeping your baskets dry, which shouldn’t be much of an issue when it comes to blanket baskets for living room storage.
Best Sizes and Shapes for a Blanket Basket
The Basket Lady sells an array of wicker basket options in every style. Whatever wicker basket you might have in mind for storing your favorite throw blankets, we probably offer it. In fact, in addition to our range of style options, you can search for baskets by width, length, and height to ensure the one you choose is an impeccable fit for your space. Or, if you prefer, you can shop by room and choose baskets for living room storage.
In most cases, the perfect height for a blanket basket that will sit next to your couch would be about 15 to 20 inches, which is about the height of the average couch seat. (However, if you’re not sure about the dimensions of your couch seats, you might want to measure them yourself to guarantee a good fit.) For instance, our Kubu Round Storage Tote Basket in size medium measures 18 inches high and 16 by 16 inches wide, and includes handles for extra portability—can’t you just imagine your favorite throws pouring out of this one?
