Martha Stewart just achieved the impossible – she somehow made an oversized storage bin a chic must-have
Storage bins aren't often categorized as stylish, but Martha has changed that –it's large enough for pillows and pool towels, and it's under $70


Trust Martha Stewart to upgrade an unsightly essential into stylish decor. While we never thought we'd label a storage bin as chic or timeless, we find ourselves using these words after coming across Martha's QVC collection – or, more specifically, her woven storage solutions that are almost too aesthetic to be functional.
Most notably of all, her oversized rattan storage bin (at QVC) deserves a shout-out. Its woven rattan-style design brings a hint of retro charm (and irresistible texture and dimension) to any corner of your living room, bathroom, or patio. There really is no wrong place to keep this basket-style piece.
Its oversized shape means it's large enough for pillows, pool towels, or even a large indoor plant, if you're looking for an alternative container to liven up your sunroom or terrace. Few combinations are as utterly timeless as Martha Stewart and rattan, so if anything is worth the investment, it's this.
We're yet to find such an attractive catchall for clutter. Available in navy blue or in a natural rattan colorway (as shown). It's the answer to your storage woes. Plus, it carries Martha's good name, so you can be sure it will stand the test of time.
Another reason why rattan reigns supreme (especially over the summertime) is its ability to tap into an East Hampton coastal aesthetic. To perfect the look, designers, including Sandra Moreno from Studio No. 8, Inc., suggest pairing rattan accessories (just like this basket) with striped furniture. It's the secret to the ultimate Hampton's style combo.
'Stripes, particularly in soft blues, grays, or neutrals, immediately evoke the coastal palette – they're fresh, airy, and suggest the rhythm of waves, cabana fabrics, or sailcloth. A subtly striped sofa in a cotton-linen blend can anchor a room while still feeling light and casual,' Sandra says.
'Pair a striped sofa with woven textures like rattan, jute rugs, or cane accents to keep the look grounded and organic. Then, mix in solid throw pillows or fine ticking stripes for a layered but cohesive look. Keep the rest of the palette soft: sand, seafoam, warm whites – to let the stripes shine without overwhelming the space.'

Pairing rattan accessories with striped soft pieces is the ultimate way to get the look. This striped pillow cover from Pottery Barn is a perfect piece to go alongside your blue and white walls.
Perfect for outdoors
Once again, Martha Stewart has made storage feel timeless. She's leaned into the classic wicker look that's great for getting the East Hampton-style aesthetic. Plus, it keeps things organized (a qulaity that's almost easy to forget, considering its good looks).
This ruffled cotton pillow feels vintage in shape and would look best placed on an armchair or at the heart of a bed.
