Belly baskets are stylish and versatile, and can be used in a multitude of places around the home. Our belly baskets are made from handwoven seagrass. The neutral tones of the seagrass will complement any background beautifully with the colourful woven patterns giving an injection of colour into your home. Read on for some of our favourite ways to use belly baskets in the home.

1. Plant pot holder

The natural colours of the seagrass go beautifully with the gorgeous greenery of plant leaves. The navy stripes of this basket work really well to make it 'pop' against a light-coloured wall. Tall and short plants will both work well, or you could even use a mix of heights for a striking statement.

2. Bathroom storage

Towels. Magazines. Toilet rolls. Bath toys. Your bathroom basics deserve some not-so-basic storage. Belly baskets are the ultimate upgrade from the cupboard under the sink, and will lend a chic spa vibe to your bathroom.

3. Toy storage

Scoop up those scattered and strewn toys and pop them into these baskets. Whether lined up on shelves or clustered in a corner, they provide a super stylish option for toy storage in your living room as well a child's own bedroom or playroom. You can even paint or decorate natural coloured baskets to personalise them for your child.

4. Craft storage

Craft projects can easily be contained in these super versatile baskets. I love that you can easily move your projects around the house so that you can have them to hand whenever you choose.

5. By the door

I love having all our family slippers right by the door so as soon as we get in we can get comfy right away! For those chillier days you could even have a belly basket for blankets, hot water bottles, or cosy socks.

For fellow bibliophiles these baskets are just the thing for stashing your burgeoning 'to be read' piles! I love having this just by my bedside ready to pile up with more beautiful books to dive into!
