Consider Your Space Needs and Limitations
Each space is unique and requires evaluation when shopping for the perfect wicker baskets, from dorms and offices to mudrooms and walk-in closets. Start with a list of areas you are focusing on. Will you be organizing, storing, or only bringing a touch of functional beauty to your space? Do you need a laundry basket that can hide in plain sight due to lack of space? Do your office drawers require an overhaul with a little storage help? These are all questions worth asking yourself before diving headfirst into a sea of beautifully woven wicker baskets. While many baskets can serve multiple functions, it’s best to have a plan to meet each space's needs and limitations.

Prioritize the Wicker Basket Features You Need
Once you have your list of needs for each space, prioritize the features you’ll need to accommodate each area and function. Wicker baskets offer an array of fabulous features, including:
- Carrying Convenience: Is your laundry basket sturdy, yet lightweight? Does it offer a pull-out laundry basket bag or easy to transport handles? If you’re tackling stairs or small trek to the machine, you'll undoubtedly want to boost carrying convenience to the top of your laundry basket needs.
- Easy Access: Lidless wicker baskets and cut-out handles can be priceless when you have a lot to store. Whether in an office or pantry, you’ll be able to slide those wicker baskets in and out and grab exactly what you need.
- Compartments: If your laundry basket or office organizer needs include compartments, there are plenty of wicker baskets that offer compartments to fit your needs. Quickly sort clothes in your compartmentalized laundry basket or separate bills and small supplies in a beautifully woven desktop organizer basket.
- Liners: Another feature you may want to consider is a wicker basket liner. Liners can be a necessary feature for laundry baskets to prevent snagging or to offer comfortable carrying options.
