These Cutesy Dollar Tree Baskets Are A Decorative Solution For Random Kitchen Storage

Achieving orderliness in your kitchen doesn't have to be a budget buster, thanks to discount stores like Dollar Tree. The always affordable shopping spot is replete with cheap but charming organizational solutions, like cabinet shelves to help organize messy coffee cup cabinets and over-the-counter towel bars to free up kitchen counter space. If you have a hodgepodge of items cluttering up your kitchen work surfaces, clearing up the chaos and finding places for everything can seem overwhelming. But starting with the right containers can be half the battle, and Dollar Tree offers a cutesy solution with its Daisy Design Laser-Cut Plastic Storage Bins.

These adorable plastic baskets, available in pink, blue, green, or gray, cost only $1.50 each, and they can help you quickly and attractively clear up your clutter. Placing items in a container instantly neatens a space, even if the items haven't moved from where they were before. The pretty, laser-cut daisy pattern makes it a fun and eye-catching storage solution.

Set one bin out on the countertop as a catch-all for random things that don't have a home, or buy several and assign different categories of thingamabobs to each one. One container can hold snacks, for instance, while another houses kitchen tools like scissors, peelers, and can openers. Things like message pads, pens, and tape can go in another, while still another contains neatly rolled up tea towels. They're also perfect for organizing spice jars. If you have a collection of restaurant sauce packets lying about, these bins are a great place to hold them all in one spot (and quickly toss in unused new ones when you get takeout).

You can also get clutter off the counter completely by hanging these Dollar Tree bins rather than placing them on your culinary surfaces. They tack up easily on the wall, thanks to the laser-cut patterns where you can easily insert a nail or pushpin. Try hanging a basket in each color descending down a wall for a fun, colorful storage display.

Additionally, you can attach magnets and hang these bins on the fridge for a handy space saver. Suction cup hooks — like these ones from Dollar Tree — are another hanging option, as are screw-in hooks. These bins have handle cutouts, as well, which make them great for slide-in storage on shelves or in your pantry.

Because these bins are well ventilated, they can be used to store things like potatoes, garlic, and onions, which keep for a long time if stored properly (in a dark, cool place with good air circulation). Hanging storage is ideal for these vegetables, as it promotes optimal ventilation. Beyond organizational storage, they're additionally useful to hold things like paper napkins or condiments on the dining table, lending a splash of color and decorative imagery as they serve a functional purpose.
