things to keep in mind
Always choose bins or baskets that fit in with the decor of your home. Wicker, wood, and metal are fairly neutral and fit in well with most decorative styles. Fabric bins can be a little trickier, you’ll want to ensure you have a good match with the existing fabrics in the room.
Having a designated space for items around the home makes it easier for the whole family to help keep the space tidy. Be sure to discuss any new storage methods with other members of the family so everyone knows where things belong.
Family room furniture—entertainment centers, console tables, bookcases, built-ins, coffee tables, and end tables—typically offer great built-in storage options to conceal clutter while keeping the space functional. Bins and baskets will help to keep your things well organized, even if they are concealed behind cabinet doors.
