Kelly Clarkson's stylish wicker baskets are organizing experts' favorite way to upgrade your kitchen storage – and they're over 50% off for the Wayfair Big Holiday Sale

Since the dawn of Instagram, the home organizing space has seen a huge uptick in the demand for aesthetic storage solutions. Though trendy options can offer instant gratification, the tried and true methods are longer-lasting and can look even more stylish. Wicker baskets are the perfect example.

Wicker storage baskets are timeless, natural, and beautiful. We've always been huge fans of the Kelly Clarkson Home collection at Wayfair, and her versions of wicker baskets are some of the best on the market. They're handmade, ultra-durable, and could be used with versatilty across the home. Even better, our favorite wicker pieces from her collection are more than 50% off for the Wayfair Big Holiday Sale.

How can wicker baskets fit in your home? One of the best ways to use Clarkson's coastal chic receptacles is as a kitchen storage idea. Neil Marcus, in-house interiors expert at HomeThreads, says: 'Wicker enhances a kitchen with its timeless charm, seamlessly combining functionality and warmth. The natural texture and earthy tones of the wicker introduce a touch of nature indoors, establishing a cozy and inviting ambiance. Whether in the form of baskets or furniture, wicker adds rustic elegance, fostering a relaxed and casual atmosphere in the kitchen.'

The seagrass baskets would be perfect for cabinets or organizing kitchen countertops. Marcus states: Wicker's versatility shines in storage solutions, where baskets organize and display fruits, vegetables, or essentials, marrying practicality with visual appeal. The interplay of light and shadow on the woven surface adds depth to the kitchen decor, making wicker a stylish and enduring choice for those desiring a tasteful blend of comfort and functionality in their culinary space.'

One of our favorite ways to use them is for pantry organization is sorting sauces and jars. The long, monochrome design helps calm the noise of a variety of labels and colors. Mark the top of the jar with the items contained within to make it easy to find exactly what you're looking for every time.

The usefulness of wicker in the kitchen isn't limited to just storage. Wicker furniture can also add a storied warmth to your kitchen or dining space. It's a great method for those who love coastal decor.

Marcus recommends: 'For a surprising and eclectic kitchen seating idea, consider wicker bar or counter stools, blending functionality with a touch of bohemian flair. These unique applications contribute to a visually interesting home decor that goes beyond traditional uses, creating a cohesive and charming ambiance.'

If you can't get enough of the Kelly Clarkson-inspired look, consider how wicker or rattan decor might work in your home beyond the kitchen. Marcus suggests: 'Explore unconventional uses for wicker, such as incorporating woven storage baskets in the bathroom for towels or toiletries to add warmth to the space. In home offices, opt for wicker desk organizers or file baskets to introduce a stylish and natural element. Elevate any room's decor with the addition of a wicker-framed mirror.'

Kelly Clarkson wasn't the first to use a wicker basket for storage in her kitchen, but it's always good to have a reminder that sometimes the most classic styles are the best ones.
