Wooden boxes and wicker baskets, originally designed only to shop and carry anything, now they get a chance to become something bigger: a full-fledged piece of furniture, both practical and decorative.
The boxes made of boards are no longer associated with the grocery shop, just like the wicker baskets are not always connected with picking mushrooms. Now the scope of application of these items has expanded considerably.
The underlying reason for this trend in interior design can be caused, perhaps, by the fashion for environmentally friendly furniture and decorations. Wooden decorative boxes, as well as baskets of boards or natural vines, do not contain a single gram of plastic. Their use does not lead to toxic waste, and disposal is harmless to the environment.
Wooden decorative boxes: methods of use
So, what is the best purpose of wooden boxes in the interior? Designers offer a fairly large list of functions:
- as a box for children's toys. Wood or plywood retain their appearance much better than cardboard. In addition, you can pick a few boxes of different sizes and colours, blending in with the rest of the room's interior;
- storage space for toiletries. Shampoo, shower gel, soap, cream, loofah occupy a lot of space in the bathroom. Wooden box lined with textile, will help to arrange these accessories beautifully;
- a container for storing infrequently used objects. Wooden box with seasonal things, guests slippers, Christmas decorations doesn't have to be hidden in the pantry: even being in sight, it will not break the harmony of the interior;
- as a wall shelf. It is very easy to fix a wooden box to the wall- sometimes even easier than a specially designed shelf. By combining decorative wooden boxes of various sizes, you can get a very stylish and original design- a case for books and other beautiful objects.
The role of wooden boxes or crates in the interior is not limited to these examples. Using imagination, you will definitely come up with some more creative solutions.
Wooden boxes in the interior. Alternatives
Just like boxes, baskets perfectly manage with the organizing of things, and thanks to the handle they are also easy to carry. Wicker baskets will bring to the interior a carefully chosen touch of both negligence and coziness, which are typical for the Provence style. Baskets will look especially harmoniously, if the room already has some elements of vine decor.
Baskets made of plywood have their advantages: their bottoms and walls are solid, without any gaps, so there is no risk that some small item will fall into a crack.
A wooden decorative box can always be used: they are convenient for storing bread, materials for needlework, toys – for example, jigsaw or other puzzles. A basket is a convenient way to bring a treat or gift to your guests. We should not forget about the Easter basket.
