Do you want to add more storage in a small space without having to build shelves or cabinets? This rustic storage ladder with baskets leans up against a wall, providing 5 levels of vertical storage space.
Therefore, it doesn’t take up much much floor space, yet you gain a good amount of storage that’s easily accessible.
In addition, this unique shelving unit requires no construction and virtually no assembly.
As shown, you can see that the narrow, upright dimensions of this ladder shelf work really well in a bathroom. The baskets can hold towels, bathing accessories and other toiletries.
Unique Advantages of Using a Basket Ladder for Storage:
This open storage design not only looks trendy and cool, it also has multiple advantages.
First of all, you can easily reach items without having to open doors or drawers. Plus, you can easily see where everything is without having to search.
Second, you don’t have to worry about allowing space for drawers or cabinet doors to swing open. In other words, a ladder with baskets like this can fit better into compact spaces.
Decorating Ideas for Ladder Shelves:
Of course, this decorative storage ladder is not limited to just bathrooms. This mobile unit works well in a variety of different locations.
For example, you can store folders and work materials next to your desk in a home office. Alternatively, these ladder shelves can hold books, an alarm clock and even a clip on lamp next to a bed.
Note: Each wire basket includes a small chalkboard tag on the front. Therefore, you can easily label the contents on each “shelf” for organization or simply as a creative touch.
On the other hand, the baskets can hold purses, phones, sunglasses and keys next to the front door. Or simply use this rustic ladder as functional home decor in a living room or den in a corner or next to a sofa.

… or Use a Leaning Shelf with 3 Baskets:
Alternatively, you can get the Shelf Ridgetop Ladder. It’s smaller, costs less and consequently has 3 baskets instead of 5.
Although it measures about 8 inches shorter and 6″ narrower, it may take up just about the same amount of floor space.
As you can see, the baskets are deeper and the ladder therefore has more lean to it. As a result, it may stick out further from the wall than you expect. Just something to keep in mind if you have a small bathroom or hallway.

How to Make Your Own Basket Storage Ladder:
Of course, you can easily make your own leaning shelf system using a ladder you already have and a few wire baskets.
This way, you get to buy the size, amount and style that you want. (Not to mention, you can save some money too.)
You can even find rustic farmhouse style blanket ladders online. Then, simply screw the baskets onto the rungs of the ladder.
