For many years I've used a crate for our throw blankets. Our small living room space doesn't give me room for a trunk, or something similar to store them in, and the crate just isn't large enough.
I decided I needed a nice looking basket and began to look at home stores. The average price for the size I needed was more than I wanted to pay, but when my friend and I popped into Ross the other day, I found exactly what I was looking for and for half the price of other stores!
Right? Right!
Well, I can hope that they'll get into the basket anyway.
What do you do about your throw blankets?

I do have a basket for blankets purchased from HL with birthday money. I find that rolling blankets allows me to get more of them in the basket. I could probably use two more blanket baskets. 😳 I don’t worry about collecting throws in the living room through the winter. I like to think that throws are artfully draped over the arms of the sofa or chairs. Ha! I like your basket. Does it fit under the cabinet?
Mine are definitely artfully draped over the back of armchairs!
I have baskets of covers and I keep some draped on chairs and the back of the sofa.....at the foot of the guest bed....there’s always one handy and close by! I love baskets for storing things! I have lots of hanging baskets in the den and in the sewing room. One holds light bulbs, another holds raffia, one above my desk even holds my supply of checks! Of course I sometimes forget what is in which basket so I’m always discovering things!
Now that is a great idea! Our blankets are usually on the floor, to be completely honest, or draped over a couch if I've just cleaned up. I like your basket idea much better; I'll be on the lookout for a good one!
Love your basket! I have a collection of throws/blankets in a basket too and it's used often. Most of the time, the blankets are returned to the basket. I am currently looking for a taller basket to use in my kitchen. If I find it, I'll share what I'm using it for. (Hint: Do you follow Megan Miller on Instagram?)
I've been looking at ways to store my blankets… for now they are just folded at the end of the couch. My 1st visit here and liking it :)

'Artfully draped' ... or folded and laid on the sofa or chair, if artfully doesn't work out.
Love the basket. Mine are artfully draped, or folded and tucked onto the top shelf of the front hall closet.
Looks pretty! We don't have that many throws as it's just us, but I could see the value of a collection basket especially if it's attractive like yours.
