Are your kids’ toys taking over your living space? Keeping things organized can feel overwhelming, especially with a busy schedule. The right toy storage organizers can transform clutter into a well-ordered space effortlessly. Wicker baskets and toy storage bins offer a stylish, functional way to keep everything in place while enhancing your home decor.

In this blog, Artera Home shares four practical tips on using toy storage organizers to maintain a neat and inviting home - so you can spend less time tidying up and more time enjoying moments with your little ones!

How To Use A Toy Storage Organizer With Bins With 4 Perfect Tips

1. Sort Your Kids Toys

Picture the benefits of sorting your kid's game into designated baskets, where building blocks and stuffed animals are organized in different wicker baskets. This toy sorting will quicken your cleaning process for a neat space and ensure your little ones can access it easily afterward. 

If you’re looking at how to sort your toys easier, explore our tips below! 

• Prioritize frequently used items: Place the most frequently used games in an easily accessible toy storage organizer with bins. These can include your child's favorites or ones they play with daily.  
• Create a "Quick Clean" wicker toy basket: Designate one basket as a "Quick Clean" basket for when you need to tidy up in a hurry. This basket can be a temporary holding spot for games that must be put away later. 
• Utilize different-sized baskets:  Smaller baskets can be used for smaller toys or toy accessories, while medium-sized baskets can hold medium-sized toys like cars or dolls. Larger baskets store bulkier items like board games or larger plush toys.

2. Use A Portable Toy Storage Basket

We get it - carrying the toy storage organizer with bins around the house for decluttering is hard when it’s piled up and heavy. That’s why we always choose storage solutions with handles. With these storage baskets, it is simple to gather all the kid's games, place them in the basket, and effortlessly carry them to the designated area. The handles also make it easy for your child to lend a helping hand and bring their toys to a different room they want. 

If you’re looking for a wicker toy basket with sturdy handles, explore our Kim Chinh organizer. Its firm handles can help you move around the house easily, while the set of 3 with a metal frame can be ideal for holding up to 3 stuffed toys and 5 pieces of Lego for your kids.

3. Utilize Under-Bed Storage

Make the most of your child's under-bed with a toy storage organizer with bins. These baskets are perfect for discreetly storing your kid's games while keeping them within easy reach. 

How to choose an ideal toy storage basket for your kid’s bedroom? Explore our tips to help you find the perfect fit:

• Consider the height, width, and length: Typically, under-bed baskets range from 6 to 12 inches, widths of 12 to 18 inches, and lengths that match the bed's dimensions.
• Lid or cover: If you prefer to keep the toys concealed or if you want to prevent dust from accumulating on the stored toys, use a wicker basket with a lid or cover.
• Stackable or nesting feature: This allows you to utilize the vertical space efficiently and create a tidy and organized storage system.

4. Create A Toy Display

Who says toy wicker can't be both functional and decorative? Showcase your child's favorites in wicker storage to create a beautiful display. One of our easy approaches is to utilize open-top toy storage baskets, allowing you to exhibit the stuffed friends or building blocks on shelves or in bookcases. This not only creates a pleasing arrangement but also enables your child to access their games independently and with ease.

If you want to find a wicker toy basket that serves two purposes, opt for our wicker storage shelves with bins. With their large cube shape, they can be ideal for storing 2–3 stuffed animals each. Besides, the toy storage organizer with bins boasts a natural brown color that can be easily styled for a harmonious look on any shelf!

How To Use And Maintain Durable Wicker Storage Baskets

Wicker storage baskets are a stylish and sustainable way to organize your home. To ensure their longevity and beauty, follow these essential care tips:

• Keep Them Dry – Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to prevent mold and warping. If they get wet, let them air dry completely.
• Dust Regularly – Use a soft cloth or brush to remove dust and maintain their natural look.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight – Prolonged exposure can cause fading and brittleness over time.
• Handle with Care – While wicker is sturdy, overloading baskets can lead to damage.
• Rehydrate Occasionally – Lightly wipe with a damp cloth or apply a thin layer of natural oil to prevent drying or cracking.

By following these simple steps, your woven baskets will stay beautiful and functional for years to come!
