Baskets

What basket materials are available?

At IKEA, you'll find a wide range of storage baskets in different materials to suit a variety of needs. Choose from a straw basket, a wicker basket, fabric or plastic baskets, as well as a storage chest for a practical and decorative storage solution. Each material offers its own distinctive look and complements different areas of the home.

Which basket is best for firewood, toys or household linens?

The right basket depends on how you plan to use it. A firewood basket should be sturdy and easy to carry, while a toy basket benefits from lightweight, flexible materials that make tidying up simple. For blankets, cushions or household linens, a storage basket made from fabric, straw or wicker helps keep everything organised and within easy reach.

Where can I place baskets to make the most of my space?

Storage baskets are a versatile solution for almost every room in the home. Use them on shelving units, inside cabinets, on shelves or beside the sofa to organise blankets and magazines. In the hallway, they're perfect for everyday accessories, while in the bedroom or bathroom they help keep clothes, towels and smaller items neatly stored, making better use of your available space.

How do I clean and care for baskets?

Care instructions vary depending on the material. A straw basket or wicker basket should be cleaned regularly with a dry or slightly damp cloth and kept away from excessive moisture. Plastic baskets can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent, while fabric baskets should be cared for according to the instructions provided with each product.

How do I choose the right basket for my home?

When choosing a basket, consider the available space, its intended use and the style of your room. A larger storage chest or storage basket is ideal for bulky items, while smaller baskets help organise everyday accessories and essentials, keeping your home tidy, practical and organised.
