Eager to upgrade your storage solutions, but don’t want to blow your budget in the first month of the new year? You don't have to spend all your hard-earned money to get organized. The key is to find cheap woven baskets that'll not only keep your home looking tidy, but provide for stylish accent pieces that won't take away from the décor of your space. With just a couple of basket purchases, you'll be well on your way to getting your house back into shape for 2019.

The entryway is the first room guests see when they walk into your home, and if it's become a cluttered catch-all space, pick up a basket like this tan and charcoal jute style from H&M. Now marked down to $16.99 from $24.99, this braided basket will become the new residence for your gloves, hats, and other go-to items that never seem to make their way back to the closet. As for the mail piling up on your entry table? Grab a smaller basket like this all-natural seagrass one from Target, $6.99, to keep all your letters organized. Or, snag this narrow rattan style from Zara Home for $35.90, in order to have room for larger envelopes.

Shoppers looking to revamp their bathroom should consider scoping out the wide selection of wallet-friendly baskets at The Container Store. For extra towel storage look for larger basket shapes like this handled style for $16.99. And, for beauty products that are often strewn across the vanity, store them on a shelf in the Small Rectangular Hogla Storage Bin, $8.99, for easy access.

During the coldest months of the year, you may find yourself spending a lot more time in your living room. Use the extra hours indoors to freshen up your shelves by selecting a couple of rectangular, lined baskets from Zara Home; they're an inexpensive and visually appealing option for storage. When that's all squared away, scoop up the Modern Weave Harvest Basket from West Elm to organize the magazines and books that have taken over your coffee table.

Say goodbye to those old plastic bins and traditional filing cabinets you tuck in the corner. Ahead, you'll find 15 baskets that'll bring both an element of organization and design to your space.
