Why Choose Handwoven Baskets for Storing Throws?
Storing your throws needn’t be mundane when you’ve a beautifully crafted basket to hand. Handwoven baskets impart natural warmth and texture, whilst boasting sustainable materials and skilled craftsmanship—a philosophy synonymous with Sheth Jeebun’s dedication to artisan communities and ethical trade. These baskets offer a refined alternative to plastic bins or uninspiring tubs, and British homes increasingly favour them for their undeniable blend of practicality and aesthetic appeal.
Recent trends reveal a surge in decorative baskets amongst households wishing to control clutter. These versatile pieces are not only visually delightful but serve a functional, eco-conscious purpose, suitable for every sitting room, snug, or bedroom.
Natural jute and cotton baskets are ideally suited for throws and blankets as they:
- Allow fabrics to breathe—reducing odours and moisture retention
- Lend organic texture that softens contemporary schemes
- Support artisan livelihoods through fair and ethical production, a value long advocated by Sheth Jeebun
- Integrate effortlessly with boho, coastal, Scandi, and minimalist interiors
Choosing the Perfect Basket for Your Throws
Size Up: Pick the Right Dimensions
Consider the size of your blanket collection. A large basket (40–50cm diameter) comfortably holds up to six throws—splendid for busy households or frequent visitors. For compact rooms, opt for medium-sized or nested baskets for enhanced versatility.
Materials: Jute, Cotton, or Blended?
Jute baskets provide robust durability and rustic charm. The Handwoven Ruby Cotton & Braided Jute Basket exemplifies this balance—its braided jute offers structure while the ruby cotton introduces contemporary vibrance.
Cotton-jute blends deliver a soft yet sturdy vessel, gentle on delicate fabrics—ideal for intricate throws prone to snags. This harmonious blend is perfectly aligned with Sheth Jeebun’s commitment to combining comfort with ethical craftsmanship.
Style Cues: Minimalist or Bohemian?
Choose a basket that complements your current scheme.
- Monochrome designs such as the Monotone Diamond Handwoven Cotton Braided Luxury Jute Basket suit refined, minimalist spaces.
- Tasselled baskets, including the Handwoven Round Geometric Tasselled Storage Basket – Red & Beige, introduce playful elegance ideal for boho settings.
Scandi and coastal homes benefit from the White Monotone Braided Basic Cotton Baskets Set of 2. For a rustic touch, the Handwoven Round Olive Cotton & Braided Jute Storage Basket enhances farmhouse and traditional interiors.
How to Arrange Blankets and Throws Like a Designer
The Rolling Method: Relaxed & Space-Efficient
- Fold your blanket, then roll firmly from end to end
- Position rolls upright, allowing textures and colours to shine
- Mix chunky knits with lighter throws for visual depth
This method pairs beautifully with the Round Handwoven Light Teal Blue Storage Basket with Natural Trim.
The Folding Method: Neat & Elegant
- Fold each throw into a crisp rectangle
- Stack with largest at the bottom
- Let one corner drape gently over the edge
The Handwoven Black Monotone Tasselled Storage Basket adds smart monochrome refinement to this look.
The Mixed Approach: Layers of Appeal
Combine rolled and folded throws—roll around the perimeter and place a folded throw at the front. This layered arrangement feels curated and inviting.
