A basket (often called a wicker basket) is a woven container made from natural fibres such as rattan, willow, seagrass or bamboo, designed for storage, organisation and decorative purposes. In simple terms, it’s a stylish, breathable container that helps you store items — from blankets and toys to linen and accessories — while adding a tactile, textured element to your home décor.
Here’s why Australians love baskets and wicker baskets: they combine practicality with timeless design, offering an elegant storage solution that’s also a beautiful décor accent. Whether used in living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms or entryways, baskets deliver both function and style.
At House of Isabella Australia, baskets are an essential finishing touch for thoughtfully styled interiors, complementing cushion collections, lighting, rugs and furniture across the home.
Baskets come in many shapes, sizes and materials. Understanding the key styles helps you choose the right piece for your space:
Hand‑woven from rattan or willow.
Natural, earthy aesthetic.
Great for rustic, coastal or classic interiors.
Lightweight yet sturdy fibres.
Warm, honeyed tones add organic luxury.
Perfect for textured layering.
Durable and flexible.
Works well with modern, boho and Scandinavian décor.
Soft, flexible and casual.
Ideal for bedrooms and kid zones.
Taller forms for laundry or umbrella storage.
Often with removable liners.
Covered baskets for hidden storage.
Keeps contents dust‑free and tidy.
Easy to move from room to room.
Practical for toys, blankets or picnic setups.
Multiple sizes that stack or fit inside each other.
Great value and versatile organisation.
Wicker baskets used as pot covers.
Adds texture to plant displays.
Each of these styles reflects the balance between function (storage/organisation) and decorative appeal — the reason wicker baskets have endured in interior design.
Choosing the perfect basket is both practical and aesthetic. Here’s a simple buyer’s guide to help:
✔ Do you need storage (blankets, toys, linen)?
✔ Or a decorative accent (plants, magazines, entryway catch‑all)?
✔ Small baskets: perfect for shelves, desks and tables
✔ Medium baskets: great for cushions, throws and magazines
✔ Large baskets: ideal for blankets, laundry or toy storage
✔ Rattan: warm and durable
✔ Seagrass/Willow: rich, earthy texture
✔ Cotton/Rope: softer, casual aesthetic
✔ Living room — tidy throws or media
✔ Bathroom — store towels or toiletries
✔ Bedroom — linen or accessories
✔ Entryway — drop keys or shoes
✔ Coastal homes: seagrass tones
✔ Minimalist spaces: simple woven design
✔ Boho interiors: mixed textures and shapes
✔ Liners protect delicate contents
✔ Unlined baskets are more breathable and natural
Choosing thoughtfully means your wicker basket becomes both a storage solution and a design feature.
Baskets are more than pretty containers — they improve home function and ambience in many ways.
Wicker baskets organise clutter while elevating interiors with texture and natural tones.
Natural fibres allow airflow — ideal for textiles like blankets and cushions.
✔ Living room — tidy throws, books or kids’ toys
✔ Bedroom — extra linen or seasonal clothing
✔ Bathroom — towels or toiletries
✔ Entry — shoes, umbrellas, keys
✔ Kitchen — pantry organisation
Handles or lightweight construction make baskets easy to relocate.
Baskets add depth and textural contrast — softening sharp lines and hard surfaces.
A single basket can serve different roles across rooms.
In simple terms, a wicker basket is both practical storage and stylish décor — improving organisation and the way a space feels.

Stylish storage shouldn’t be an afterthought — it should complete your space. At House of Isabella, baskets are thoughtfully chosen to enhance style and everyday living.
In 2025, wicker baskets and woven storage are more popular than ever, driven by global interior trends that Australians are adapting with local flair.
Organic materials like rattan and seagrass bring calm, grounded energy to interiors.
Homeowners are choosing natural fibres over synthetic plastics — a trend that aligns with responsible design choices.
Stacked and nested baskets create curated organisation with visual depth.
Homes are blending living, working and relaxing zones — and baskets help tidy, store and zon e‑define.
Hand‑woven textures resonate with boho, eclectic and globally inspired interiors.
Here’s why Australians love these trends: they combine style, sustainability and everyday practicality — elevating interiors while simplifying daily life.
Make baskets a design highlight with these actionable tips:
Cluster small, medium and large baskets together for visual impact and organised storage.
Tuck throws, pillows or linen into baskets for a lived‑in, cosy look.
Place baskets near a floor or table lamp from Café Lighting & Living to create a soft, inviting vignette.
Use a wicker basket as a plant pot cover — it adds organic texture and height.
Try a basket in the bathroom for towels, or in a walk‑in robe for accessories.
Pair natural baskets with:
Soft neutrals
Earthy ochres
Greys and muted greens
Only store what you need — baskets look best when not overstuffed.
