Keeping a child's room tidy can often feel like an uphill battle. Toys, books, and bits and bobs seem to multiply overnight! But creating a calming, organized space is easier when you have the right storage tools—and that’s where Mifuko's handwoven baskets come in. Ethically crafted in Kenya by skilled artisans and designed in Finland, these baskets aren’t just storage solutions—they’re sustainable, fair trade design pieces you’ll love having in your home.
Here are three thoughtful ways to use them in your child’s room:


1. Toy Storage with Style (and Quiet!)
Our large handwoven baskets are perfect for plush toys, building blocks, and puzzles. Their soft but sturdy structure allows even small children to access their favorite playthings safely and independently. And here's the best part—no loud crashes! Unlike hard plastic bins or wooden boxes, our baskets soften the sound of toys being tossed in. Anyone who’s ever heard a pile of Legos hit the bottom of a wooden toy chest will appreciate the peace and quiet.

2. Wall-Hanging Mini Baskets for Bits and Bobs
Our small baskets with loop handles are perfect for wall hanging. Use them to store hair accessories, small plush toys, crayons, or collectibles. Mounting baskets on the wall not only saves floor space but also encourages your child to keep their favorite little items organized. It’s a functional and fun way to decorate the room with Mifuko's charming handcrafted touch.

3. Book Nooks Made Cozy
Create a cozy reading corner with a few medium-sized baskets to hold your child’s favorite picture books. Place them beside a comfy chair or cushion to make storytime inviting and easy. Baskets keep the books visible and accessible—helping young readers build good habits and feel in charge of their own little library.


Mifuko’s baskets are handwoven from natural materials like sisal and paper, and each one is signed by the artisan who made it. By choosing Mifuko, you’re supporting ethical production, empowering women in rural Kenya, and bringing purposeful beauty into your home.
