Open the vanity fully
Mark the path of doors and drawers, including where you stand to reach inside. A basket occupying that stance can be inconvenient even if it does not physically contact the cabinet front.
Define the new basket's role
Give it a category that genuinely lacks a home. If it merely holds overflow from a disorganized cabinet, sorting the existing interior may solve the problem without adding a floor object.
Try the removal sequence
Imagine taking something from the vanity while the basket is in normal use. If the basket must move first every time, decide whether its category warrants a more accessible location elsewhere.
Check maintenance access
Follow the furniture and basket care instructions and consider cleaning around both. A location difficult to reach with existing doors open may also make routine upkeep more cumbersome than expected.
Illustrative scenario: a towel basket sits beside the vanity but blocks the place used to access a low drawer. Moving towels to a nearby shelf restores the drawer's usefulness and clears the floor.
