Why the Kiota Loves Reed Baskets and Checkered Rug Are Essential for Every Home

At Kiota, we believe homeware should combine beauty, function, and a story—and that’s exactly why our Kiota Loves collection features two standout favourites: our small and medium reed baskets and the breathtaking checkered rug.

These pieces aren’t just stylish accessories; they are versatile, timeless, and designed to elevate your home’s look and feel—bringing that perfect balance of elegance and fun.

Reed Baskets: Elegant, Fresh, and Incredibly Versatile

Reed baskets have long been admired for their natural beauty and practicality. The small and medium reed baskets in the Kiota Loves collection are no exception. Handcrafted with skill and care, these baskets bring a touch of nature indoors with their light, airy weave and subtle textures.

Their elegant, fresh appearance works beautifully across a range of interior styles—from minimal Scandi and modern farmhouse to eclectic boho. Use them to store throws & blankets, toys, or everyday essentials. Their breathability and durable construction make them a functional yet refined choice.

Whether placed in a living room, bedroom, or bathroom, these baskets add natural warmth and effortless style. They’re the kind of sustainable, artisan-made piece you’ll cherish for years to come. Shop our Reed Baskets today.

The Checkered Rug: Neutral, On-Trend, and Breathtakingly Beautiful

If you’re after a statement piece that’s as fun as it is neutral, the organic cotton checkered rug is your answer. It’s become a firm favourite in the Kiota Loves collection because it’s so much more than a floor covering—it’s a textured, graphic focal point that instantly transforms any room.

The checkered pattern is enjoying a huge resurgence in interior design, thanks to its ability to add boldness without overwhelming a space. In soft, neutral tones, it complements a wide palette and style, offering just the right amount of visual interest to keep things fresh and modern.

Perfect for layering with natural fibres, cotton throws, and artisan cushions, the checkered rug anchors your space with warmth and personality. Whether in a living room, dining area, or bedroom, every home truly deserves one. Shop our Checkered Rug today.

Why These Pieces Are in the Kiota Loves Collection

The Kiota Loves range celebrates products that inspire us daily—pieces that combine timeless design, artisanal craftsmanship, and sustainability. Both the reed baskets and the checkered rug fit this ethos perfectly.

I personally love the reed baskets for their natural elegance and versatile styling options, adding fresh, organic texture to any corner. The checkered rug steals hearts for its ability to be simultaneously playful and grounding, proving that neutral doesn’t mean boring.

Together, these pieces are more than décor—they’re a lifestyle choice that invites calm, warmth, and a touch of joy into your home.

Until next time!
