By Diana Stroh,
Those of you with kids of any age will understand the constant battle to stop your home being overwhelmed by stuff!
The mass of things your child appears to accumulate with alarming ease, that mysteriously pile up in corners of the house or get randomly stashed away in drawers and cupboards, waiting for the resultant meltdown when you’re unable to lay your hands on the one item they so desperately need at any given moment.
Here at Dreams and Wishes, we love the versatility and convenience of storage baskets to hide away all that precious childhood clutter, allowing you to reclaim a little bit of grown-up space.
Available in an endless range of sizes, finishes and prices there’s an option to suit any interior style or situation.
This selection below are each under a tenner…from Primark..!
Try lining up three to five identical small baskets along a shelf or the top of a chest of drawers for storing small items.
A larger basket in the living room can be both stylish and practical, for storing toys.
Group a collection of baskets in varying sizes in the corner of a kid’s room, for clothes, shoes, books, etc. Again, unify the look by using baskets of a similar colour or theme.
Hang baskets from a peg-rail attached at a height your child can reach with ease.
Softer crocheted or fabric baskets work well in a nursey.
Attach labels to each basket, making it easy for the kids to identify and access what they’re looking for. Who knows, it might even help when they’re asked to tidy-up…although don’t hold us to that.
Plan how to repurpose storage baskets as the kids get older to get the most out of your purchases.
Add a few simple, budget-friendly, baskets and make clearing the kid’s rooms a more pleasurable experience…while reclaiming some grown-up space in the process.
