It's quite calming to the eye to use a monochromatic color scheme with bins/baskets.

When storage containers will be in plain view, make efforts to get similar styles and colors (try to use no more than 3 colors and make sure they compliment each other) to not add visual clutter.



Keep like colors with like colors in little color coordinated storage families:

The simple act of multiplying most any container produces instant eye appeal on open shelving:
