I've found myself in a bit of a conundrum recently. We ended up rearranging our kitchen and now where we put out potatoes appears to be getting more light because they are starting to turn green. Perhaps I was spoiled in being able to keep some root veggies out on the counter but now I have to adapt.

How do you store root vegetables in your kitchen? Would a wicker storage something or another be a good option, something that could be tucked under countertop?

Paper bag or cloth bag tucked in a low cupboard does the job. The main thing is definitely keeping light out, wicker alone won't help unless wherever you're putting it is already dark. We used to keep ours on a shelf in the pantry and got the same problem after a reorganise, moved them inside a cupboard and it sorted itself out.

We have a small fridge next to our regular one that sits in a corner. We use it to keep beverages so they aren't taking up all the space in the regular fridge. I got a small shelving unit from Closet Maid and put it on top. In each cubby I have a plastic wicker basket I got at the dollar store (I cut the top of the handles off so it would fit). The open weave allows air to flow. It's in the corner between the big fridge and wall so it's relatively dark, plus the dark plastic inside a cubby also keeps it dark. The bottom basket has potatoes and the middle basket has my onions. The top basket for sweet potatoes. This arrangement works very well and the potatoes never go green and seem to last.

I keep my potatoes in the fridge.

I like the suggestion of using a paper bag.  Since I have not tried this I do not know if that would make them ripen more.  The reason I say this is that I use paper bags to ripen green tomatoes.

I keep potatoes in buckets in the cellar, but a small container is in the kitchen. Some of our "counters" are stainless steel restaurant tables so that we can wheel them around and reconfigure out kitchen depending on the chores, and I keep taters in a bucket, bowl, or milk crate under one of the shelves (which can be set to any height). I keep onions in a hanging basket in the middle of the room next to the island and above our trash-can. That's probably not the best place for them but we go through them so fast it's not usually a problem. Beets and carrots go in a fridge-drawer. Sweet potatoes go with the potatoes.
