The short answer: choose a woven storage basket by considering what you want to store, where it will sit, how much room you have and how much moisture the material can handle. Measure the available space before choosing a size, then compare the basket’s material and care requirements with the room you plan to use it in.
A basket that looks right in a photo may be too tall for a shelf or too wide for a narrow corner. A little measuring—and a quick check of the care instructions—can help you find one that works well in everyday life.
1. Start with the space and what you want to store
Before choosing a basket, decide what it needs to hold. Laundry, toys, skincare and small household items all need different shapes and amounts of room.
Measure the space where the basket will go:
-
For a shelf or cupboard, check the available width, depth and height.
-
For a floor basket, measure the footprint and leave enough space to walk around it.
-
For a lidded basket, allow room to lift or remove the lid.
-
For a basket you will carry, check that the handles are easy to reach.
Then think about the items themselves. A low, lidded box may suit smaller belongings, while laundry or toys may be easier to gather in a taller, open basket. If you are choosing between sizes, compare the measurements with a similar container you already own.
2. Compare the size options
The dimensions below are taken from the product size diagrams. For baskets, the diagrams do not always show every dimension in the same way, so check the individual product listing and selected size before ordering.

-
Small: 31.2 × 31.5 cm (12.3 × 12.4 in)

The diagram marks the upper basket and lower tray as 6 cm (2.36 in) high, and the tissue compartment as 7.5 cm (2.95 in) high.
Because these are measurements of different parts of the stand, check the product diagram when confirming whether it will fit your table. Algot is designed to hold fruit and tissues in a living room or dining area.

Its lidded design can help keep towels, bath products, skincare or cosmetics together. It can be used in a bedroom, living room, wardrobe or a dry, well-ventilated bathroom.
3. Choose a material that suits the room
“Woven” describes the look and construction, but the materials in this collection have different care needs. Think about the room and how you will use the basket, not just its appearance.
-
Faux rattan: Eira and Algot use imitation rattan material. It is more moisture-resilient than natural rattan, but neither product is made for soaking or standing water.
-
Paper rope: Elva and Dagny are woven from paper rope, a processed material. Keep them dry and away from prolonged humidity and regular splashes.
-
Natural grass: Oline is made from woven grass. Natural variation in the grass’s texture and colour is expected.
-
Natural rattan: Signe is made from natural rattan. Keep it dry, and use a food-safe liner or plate for unwrapped food.
4. How to clean and care for each basket
Care depends on the material. In general, do not soak or rinse these products. Keep them dry and allow them to air fully if they become damp.
-
Eira: Wipe the frame with a lightly damp soft cloth. Avoid harsh acidic or alkaline cleaners, and dry the frame fully after cleaning. Follow the attached instructions for the fabric liner.
-
Elva: Keep it in a dry, well-ventilated indoor space. Remove dust with a dry soft cloth or soft brush. Do not soak or rinse it. If it gets wet, dry it promptly and allow it to air fully. Follow the liner’s care instructions where provided.
-
Oline: Keep it dry and well ventilated. Use a dry soft cloth or soft brush for routine cleaning. Do not soak, rinse or place it in a regular splash zone. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight and long periods of humidity.
-
Signe: Dust it with a soft dry cloth or soft brush. Avoid soaking, machine washing or prolonged contact with large amounts of water. If it becomes damp, wipe it dry promptly and leave it to air in a ventilated place. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight.
-
Algot: Wipe the faux rattan with a lightly damp soft cloth, then dry it thoroughly. Do not soak it or leave it in standing water. Avoid strong acidic or alkaline cleaners, and keep it away from regular splashes.
-
Dagny: Keep it in a dry, well-ventilated indoor space. Remove dust with a dry soft cloth or soft brush. Do not soak or rinse it. If it gets damp, dry it promptly and allow it to air fully. Follow the lining’s care instructions where provided.
Frequently asked questions
How do I choose the right basket size?
Measure the space first, then compare the basket’s dimensions with the items you want to store. Check height as well as footprint, especially for shelves, cupboards and tables. For a lidded basket, allow room to open or remove the lid.
Which Vindkar basket is suitable for laundry?
Eira is designed for laundry and comes in Small, Medium and Large. Oline can also hold clothing or laundry, but as a natural-grass basket it should be kept dry and away from regular splashes.
Can I keep a woven basket in the bathroom?
It depends on the material and the conditions. Eira is more moisture-resilient than natural rattan, but it should not be soaked and needs to be dried after cleaning. Paper-rope and natural-grass baskets should be kept in a dry, well-ventilated spot away from splashes and prolonged humidity.
Can I put unwrapped food in the Signe tray?
Use a food-safe liner or plate for unwrapped food. This keeps the food separate from the natural-rattan surface.
Will natural-grass baskets look exactly the same?
Small differences in natural grass texture and colour are expected. These variations are part of the material, so the finish may differ slightly from one basket to another.
