I love the look of rattan, particularly when it comes to sleek and stylish storage solutions. But, as a high-quality, natural material, it can often wind up being expensive, whether you're investing in something larger, like a laundry basket, all the way down to the smallest of decorative boxes and trays.
That's why I was thrilled to find these gorgeous Birch Lane™ Edelie Rattan Bins from Wayfair discounted for the final hours of the Way Day Sale.
Plus, they look far more luxe than your average storage bins. I love their boho-inspired design, and would happily display them in my bedroom.
Why I love these rattan storage bins
With conveniently attached lids, these luxe storage bins keep your belongings neatly tucked away. The oval mid-century design means they can be stacked up on display when in use, and nested when not.
Of course, around my home I use plenty of 'unglamorous' hidden storage ideas, and I do truly believe there's a time and a place for them in every space. For example, I use plastic bins, just like the Latching Storage Box available at Wayfair, under my bed for my shoes, and pop my off-season clothes in under-bed zip-up storage bags, such as the Wayfair Basics® Under-the-Bed Storage Bag available at Wayfair.
The differentiation here, though, is that all of that storage is tucked away and hidden, and I was after something a little more statement for my small bedroom storage ideas. After all, in my maximalist bedroom, I love mixing textures and patterns, so why should my storage be an exception?
Enter: my newest find, the Birch Lane™ Edelie Rattan Bins available at Wayfair. These rattan storage bins are available in two colors, although the natural colorway is currently sold out.
I already know how to use storage baskets properly, and love using them all around the house, and these function in exactly the same way, although the inclusion of lids means they can also be stacked up and popped on display, which is what I'm going to do after organizing my bookshelf. I'll be using them for corralling miscellaneous items, like cables and toiletries, but they also make ideal toy storage ideas, and can even be used for organizing makeup.
Chiana Dickson, content editor on Solved here at Homes & Gardens, also loves the way rattan combines functional durability with stylish design when it comes to storage in her bedroom. 'It's so versatile,' she says. 'Plus, it contributes to a clutter-free and restful space, something which I really take into consideration in my own home.'
Really, in my opinion, rattan deserves a spot in any and all bedroom storage ideas, for a calming vibe that never appears crowded or messy.

I love this smaller rattan basket for any bathroom organization ideas, with enough space for two toilet rolls, but it's also great for storing sewing or office supplies, too.

As much as I love wicker and rattan, I know they're the types of storage you should never use in a pantry. Instead, for your pantry organization ideas, opt for more functional options, such as non-toxic glass jars and metal or BPA-free plastic bins.
