Storage that looks like something you put out on purpose.
What it does for a room
I have these in both my wardrobe and my bathroom, which is a reasonable test of how well they adapt. In the bathroom they look lovely holding small hand towels, particularly in a guest toilet where everything on display is doing a job for visitors as well as for you.
In my wardrobe they catch the things that don’t really live anywhere: stockings, the underwear that isn’t for everyday, and more stockings. That’s the useful part of an open basket. It gives the loose items a home without asking you to fold or sort them first, and the macrame means it still looks like a considered object rather than plastic tubs on a shelf.
For the things that need a home but don’t deserve a drawer.
TRY IT FOR
Hand towels in a guest toilet: Rolled towels in an open basket is the small touch that makes a downstairs loo feel considered.
The wardrobe odds and ends: Stockings, occasion underwear, the things that never have a proper drawer. One basket absorbs the lot.
On open shelving: Storage that’s on show has to look like it belongs. Macrame does that in a way a plastic box cannot.
Bathroom bits on the counter: Cotton pads, spare soap, the things you use daily and don’t want scattered across the sink.
