Sharing my favorite sources for woven baskets today!
I’ve recently become a little obsessed with organizing our home using woven baskets. They’re practical, beautiful, and add a warm, natural touch to any room. Over time I’ve collected quite a few, so I wanted to share a list of favorite sources and styles if you’re looking for attractive storage that feels organic and effortless.
I use woven baskets for everything from craft supplies to toys, and switching to baskets has made it much easier to keep small items in order around the house. For me, organizing feels more enjoyable when the storage itself is pretty—ugly plastic bins just kill the vibe. Below are my top picks organized by style, plus a few practical notes about where each basket works best.
My Favorite Woven Baskets
When you’re corralling small items—toys, mail, knitting projects—there are a ton of storage options. I prefer woven baskets because they look great on display. Instead of hiding your storage away behind cabinet doors, baskets can stay out on shelves, under benches, or beside furniture without disrupting the room’s aesthetic.
Baskets are also very functional: they’re easy to reach into, quick to grab, and flexible in size and shape. While many are open-topped, I’ve included a few lidded options as well if you prefer a tidier look. Ready to browse? Let’s go.
Woven Baskets with Handles
Baskets with handles are my go-to. They’re easy to carry from room to room, great for corralling laundry or toys, and kid-friendly for little hands learning to help tidy up.
Clockwise starting from the far left:
1. Handwoven basket (Urban Outfitters)
A deep, affordable option that’s simple and versatile—works well in many décor styles.
2. Medium nesting basket (Jenni Kayne)
Nesting baskets are excellent for flexible storage, and this option has a refined look that complements minimalist or coastal interiors.
3. Large bolga basket with black leather handles (Roohami on Etsy)
The contrast of black leather handles gives this basket a modern edge. Etsy is a great place to find unique bolga baskets in many colors and sizes; search terms like “bolga basket,” “natural basket,” or “woven basket” help you explore lots of handmade options.
4. Hand-woven Moroccan oversized basket (Burke Decor)
This one is huge—ideal for laundry or a big stash of stuffed animals. Burke Decor often carries distinctive pieces and runs promotions occasionally.
5. Kwasi basket with handles (Heddle and Lamm)
A roomy and affordable choice that gives a similar look to higher-priced options at a friendlier price point.
6. Petite bolga lace basket (Genara)
Small but charming—a bolga-style basket that’s cute enough to double as a casual crossbody or tote if you wanted to use it for outings.
7. Seagrass basket (Amazon, multiple sizes)
Simple, practical, and budget-friendly. Seagrass baskets are classic and work well in nearly any room.
8. Large bolga basket (Genara)
We have a few of these at home. The bolga silhouette and handles make it easy to move items from room to room while keeping things neat.
Woven Baskets without Handles
Not every situation needs handles. Low-profile baskets slide neatly into cubbies and on shelves without adding extra height or bulk. Here are several favorites for those applications.
Clockwise starting from the far left:
1. Pink and brown pattern basket (The Basket Room on Etsy)
A cheerful woven pattern that’s handmade and fair trade. The colorwork adds personality while remaining subtle enough for everyday use.
2. Frutero basket (Makaua on Goodee)
Low-profile and surprisingly roomy—these baskets hold a lot while staying visually light on a shelf. Goodee is a good source for thoughtfully made home goods.
3. African lidded canister basket (Etsy)
These handmade lidded baskets from Rwanda are functional and beautiful. The small pops of color around the lid make them particularly charming.
4. Birdie floor baskets (Connected Goods on Anthropologie)
Great for storing blankets, pillows, or even using as a planter cover. These baskets bring texture and scale to a room.
5. Fringed basket (H&M)
Sturdy with a playful fringe detail. If you prefer simpler silhouettes you might skip the fringe, but this one adds a bit of character while remaining practical.
6. Kenya Kiondo baskets (Amsha Studio on Etsy)
Available in many sizes, these woven baskets have a classic, handwoven look and fit into a variety of decors.
7. Hand woven seagrass basket (Amber Interiors)
I like this one for its lidded option—great when you want a tidier, closed look. Amber Interiors also offers many other complementary home décor pieces.
8. Pakurigo basket (Baba Tree on Goodee)
This piece is sculptural yet practical. Its form makes it striking in a built-in cabinet or on a shelf while still being useful for everyday storage.
