Decorating your Home with Baskets


Baskets are an inexpensive, easy way to decorate your home. Not only do they add a unique decorative touch, they are also useful for storing items. As the video below suggests, one way to decorate with baskets is to find an empty wall and hang the baskets using nails. Make sure to remove the head of the nail so that it won’t damage the weave of the basket. Use baskets of different sizes and shapes to decorate the wall. If you wish, you can even place items in the baskets for display. Another idea is to hang a small basket on a kitchen wall for holding dishwashing towels or one in the bathroom for hand towels. It’s a great way to conveniently organize items in any room.

Larger baskets can be used for holding heavier items like firewood. First, line the basket with newspaper, plastic or burlap to prevent wood chips and other debris from falling onto the floor. It also makes it easier to clean the basket when there is a liner in place. If you choose to line the basket with burlap, you can use thin wire to sew the burlap into place  

Decorating your home with baskets can be a creative, fun process. Since baskets are inexpensive, you can mix and match different types of baskets to achieve the look you desire.
