Private Spaces 

When choosing the material for a storage bin, it is important to note its eventual location. In a private space such as a bathroom, anything made of wicker will cause mold. Instead, wire-framed storage bins should be a better choice. Choose luxe colors like gold, silver, bronze, rose gold, or copper to create a rich feel and a spa-like ambiance. These newly generated spaces can be used to organize towels, products, soft slippers, and more.

Sometimes, there are awkward empty spaces like those on top of a cabinet which is very hard to occupy. These can be made excellent use of by placing decorative storage crates in them. These can contain things that you rarely use, or use very seasonally. If this space is in the kitchen, there are chances of the crate getting greasy, so wire frameworks better. These can also be used to simply display vintage artifacts like bottles and cans.
