Wire basket storage: stylish, understated storage for any room

IKEA wire basket storage is built for real challenges. Bathroom, hobby room or pantry – wherever you need sturdy, long-lasting, clever storage, an IKEA wire basket unit fits right in. Our metal mesh baskets are ideal for storing anything you want to find quickly, keep well-aired and tuck away safely. Use your unit for office supplies you like close to hand, for bathroom linen, or for tools in the garage. And with IKEA small-storage solutions – baskets, crates, bags or boxes – you can organise the inside of each basket exactly as you like.

Key features and benefits of our wire basket storage (depending on the model):

• Clear overview: the open mesh design lets you keep an eye on everything you've stored without having to open the basket.
• Breathable construction: metal wire baskets allow excellent airflow, which helps protect textiles and food.
• Moisture-resistant: most metal baskets are ideal for the bathroom, cellar or kitchen, as they cope well with damp.
• Build it your way: wire basket systems can be extended as you like and adapted to the layout of your rooms, cabinets or shelves.
• Different basket types: coarse mesh holds larger items like textiles, while fine-mesh baskets keep small things secure without letting them fall through.
• A range of sizes: from small rectangular units to larger ones with several baskets, there's something for every need.
• Sturdy metal construction: our powder-coated steel wire baskets are long-lasting, stable and carry even heavy items reliably (please refer to the relevant product information).
• Easy-care surfaces: white wire baskets simply wipe clean with a damp cloth.
• Understated Scandi design: clean lines and a minimalist look blend harmoniously into modern interiors.

What can I use wire basket storage for?

There are countless ways to use metal wire baskets. In the bathroom, wire basket units can hold your towels and toiletries. In the kitchen, they keep your supplies and fresh vegetables well-aired. In the wardrobe or dressing room, metal baskets make room for accessories, scarves and folded clothes. In the home office you can stow away paper and stationery – and down in the cellar or garage they keep your tools organised. Combined with IKEA small-storage solutions and other shelf inserts, small items stay neatly sorted. It makes organising almost enjoyable, because you can always see exactly where everything is.

Which rooms are metal wire baskets best suited to?

In the bathroom, metal wire baskets give you a particularly clever storage solution: the natural ventilation through the basket structure keeps towels fresh, and the moisture-resistant surface shrugs off the humidity. Bathroom and cosmetics trolleys make useful additions, ready to move whenever you need them. In the kitchen, the excellent air circulation of wire basket systems helps your fruit and vegetables stay fresh for longer. In the dressing room, clothes stay fresh, while the sturdy construction safely holds even heavy items in the cellar or storage room.

Are metal wire basket storage systems sturdy?

Yes – units with metal baskets are especially sturdy. The powder-coated steel stands up to everyday use. So the large, rectangular wire baskets are well suited to heavier items too, such as books, tools or stacked textiles. The solid build means they'll last you years. Need even more storage space? Closed or open, large or small – why not browse our cabinets, shelves and chests of drawers? And if you come and see us at your local IKEA store, we'll be glad to help you choose.

How can I use wire baskets creatively at home?

Wire baskets are good for more than storage. As an indoor or outdoor plant stand, for example, our wire basket systems let water drain away nicely from potted plants. In the children's room, large wire baskets keep toys tidily together in one place. In the hallway, the rectangular baskets can serve as stylish shoe storage. Next to bedside tables and side tables, wire baskets offer extra storage for books, newspapers or magazines. Just let your imagination run free.
