33 Kitchen Items That Combine Form And Function

This cute macrame hanging basket is handcrafted by Knapp’s Knots, a San Diego-based macramé and woodcraft shop run by Anastasia Knapp, who is originally from Ukraine.

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes says, “I recently picked up this macrame basket (in the Cactus shade) and *highly* recommend it if you’re looking to add a cozy touch to your kitchen. As someone with a relatively small NYC kitchen, I need every bit of counter space I can get, and this lets me keep produce out without having to take up space with a fruit basket or banana stand. I’m a big fan of utilizing vertical space as storage, and this does just that; plus, it allows for ventilation to help your fruit stay fresh for longer. I’m constantly cooking with onions or grabbing an apple as a mid-day snack, and having them right there at an arm’s reach is sooo nice. BTW, these come with hooks that screw directly into a cabinet, but if you (like me) want to avoid that damage, I recommend using Command hooks — I’m using four of these small toggle hooks and they’ve held up the basket *with* produce in it wonderfully.”

Promising review: “I love love love this! It adds a lot of charm to our kitchen, and it’s super functional. The macrame is very high-quality, and it shipped fast.” —Rachel Amity
