I was recently asked to define my home style in just three words, and my answer was Modern, Graphic & Family. Is “family” a style?! To me, having kids means incorporating them into every room of the house. But that doesn’t mean that every space has to look like a playroom. Instead, it’s all about finding ways to maintain your own personal style while still creating a home that’s kid-friendly.
To help you do just that, I’ve compiled a list of 12 of my favorite baskets perfect for toy storage with grown up style.
While our boys have a dedicated playroom, and also have many toys in their rooms, the reality is that they play in just about every room of the house… from the living room, to the kitchen, and even the master bedroom {that’s how this mom of a two year old and four year old manages to shower and get dressed most days}. But just because play happens in these room doesn’t mean I want them to look like it all the time.
Enter one of my favorite organizing tips…using stylish baskets to hide kids’ toys in plain sight! If the baskets match the style of the room, they seem to fit right in despite the toys spilling out of the top. {Be sure to read all 10 of My Tips for Cleaning Up Toy Messes Faster.}
There are many places that you can buy stylish baskets perfect for containing toy clutter, but most stores have only a small selection of large baskets. It can be frustrating going from store to store in search of the perfect basket to fit your style, so I’ve compiled a list of my favorite baskets that are up for the challenge without breaking the bank!
