Clutter is the biggest enemy of an atmospheric interior. But storage space is not enough if the storage solutions themselves spoil the ambiance. Decorative storage solves this. The right basket, box, shelf, or organizer neatly stores items and looks good. At MooierThuis, you will find decorative storage solutions in all styles, materials, and sizes, for every room and every use. Decluttering thus becomes an interior improvement instead of a necessary evil.

Decorative storage in every room
Living room
In the living room, decorative storage is most visible. A large rattan basket next to the sofa for throws and pillows. An atmospheric magazine rack next to the armchair for books and magazines. A decorative box on the dresser for small loose items that would otherwise be lying around. Each of these storage solutions solves a concrete problem and beautifies the living room at the same time. Combine multiple storage baskets in the same style for a cohesive, styled look that immediately makes the living room more organized.
Bedroom
In the bedroom, decorative storage contributes to the tranquility that the room needs. An elegant jewelry organizer on the dresser keeps jewelry organized and prevents it from getting tangled. A stylish storage box on the nightstand neatly stores small items. And a decorative basket in the corner of the room provides storage space for clothes or accessories that don't fit in the wardrobe. Every item has a place, and the bedroom remains calm and tidy.
Bathroom
In the bathroom, decorative storage is particularly valuable because there are so many small items that would otherwise end up cluttering the edge of the sink. Stylish storage jars and boxes in a consistent color give the bathroom a spa-like, well-maintained appearance. A small rattan basket for towels or spare rolls gives the bathroom warmth and a natural ambiance that perfectly suits the relaxing character of the space.
Study and home office
In the study, functional storage is extra important for a clear, focused workspace. A stylish printer stand keeps the printer at the right height and off the desk surface. Decorative storage boxes and jars organize stationery, cables, and other office supplies. And a magazine rack keeps specialist literature and documents organized and readily accessible next to the desk.
Materials: the right storage solution for every style
The choice of the right material determines the appearance of the storage solution as much as its function. An overview of the most popular materials in our assortment:
Rattan and seagrass: warm, natural, and bohemian. The most popular choice for decorative storage baskets. Fits perfectly in Scandinavian, bohemian, and organic interiors.
Woven cotton or rope: soft, airy, and casual. Gives a room a relaxed, handmade character that suits a natural or coastal-inspired atmosphere.
Metal and wire: sturdy, modern, and transparent. Metal storage racks and bins have a sleek, industrial character that suits a contemporary interior.
Ceramics and stoneware: atmospheric, solid, and decoratively appealing. Ceramic storage jars are beautiful decorative objects even without contents.
Wood and bamboo: warm, durable, and timeless. Wooden boxes and racks have a natural appearance that suits Scandinavian and rustic interiors.
Velvet and fabric: soft, elegant, and decorative. Popular for jewelry organizers and small storage boxes in the bedroom or on the dressing table.
The golden rule of decorative storage
The most atmospheric and organized interiors use storage solutions that are both functional and decorative. The golden rule is simple: what you see must also be beautiful. Put everything that is not beautiful behind doors or in boxes. And for visible storage, always choose materials and shapes that match the style of the room. Group similar storage items in the same color or material for a cohesive look that immediately makes the space more organized and atmospheric. Also, consciously combine storage baskets with artificial plants and decorative objects for storage groupings that also function as a decorative composition.

Frequently asked questions about decorative storage
How do I choose the right size storage basket for my space?
The size of a storage basket depends on what you want to store and the available space. A large basket of 35 to 50 cm diameter is ideal for throws, pillows, or toys in the living room. A medium-sized basket of 20 to 35 cm fits well in the bathroom for towels or toiletries. And a small basket of 15 to 20 cm is ideal on a wall shelf or desk for small loose items. Always check the exact dimensions in the product description before ordering.
How do I keep decorative storage solutions clean?
That depends on the material. Rattan and seagrass baskets should be cleaned with a dry brush to remove dust. Use a slightly damp cloth for stubborn dirt but avoid too much moisture on natural fiber materials. Metal racks and bins should be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning agent. Ceramic pots are easiest to clean with water and dish soap. And velvet boxes or organizers should be treated with a soft brush or lint roller to remove dust.
Which storage solution is best for a small space?
In a small space, vertical storage is the smartest strategy. Use the height of the wall with wall shelves and wall racks instead of wide, sprawling floor solutions. Choose stackable storage boxes that utilize height. And use multi-functional furniture such as a storage bench or an ottoman with storage space that also serves as seating. Rattan baskets are also excellent for small spaces because they are decorative and do not require additional furniture space.
Can I also use rattan storage baskets in the bathroom?
Yes, provided the basket does not come into direct contact with water or continuous moisture. Preferably use a rattan basket in the bathroom for dry items such as towels, spare rolls, or toiletries in sealed packaging. Avoid use directly under a dripping tap or in the splash zone of the shower. Ventilate the bathroom sufficiently and dry the basket if it has collected moisture for the longest lifespan of the rattan material.
