What began as a nursery staple has become the organizational darling of interior designers worldwide. The latest Pinterest Home Trends Report identifies felt storage baskets as the #1 versatile organizer, with these innovative uses:

• Home Offices: Foldable felt bins for cord management (searches up 170%)
• Retail Displays: Artisan-made baskets for boutique product staging
• Pet Care: Breathable wool bins for toy storage (non-toxic for chewing pets)

IKEA’s new FÖRNUFTIG collection exemplifies this shift, featuring acid-washed felt baskets in sizes from desk organizers to laundry bins. “The same natural temperature regulation that protects baby clothes also prevents electronics from overheating,” explains product developer Erik Johansson.
