Using baskets in your home décor to accessorize and organize a room is a great way to keep the room looking orderly as well as give it some style. There are hundreds of different shapes and sizes of baskets to choose from. There are also several different materials that baskets can be made from as well, including wicker, plastic, and different types of pliable wood. Here are some great ways that you can use baskets in the rooms of your home to decorate and organize the room.
Decorate with a Flower Arrangement Basket
Decorative Wall Shelf
Find a wicker or wood basket that has a tight weave, so you can't see the foam through the basket. Use artificial flowers to make a pretty flower arrangement basket. This basket can be placed just about anywhere in a room. A small basket can be placed in the bathroom on a shelf or above a cabinet while a larger basket can be placed on the coffee table or shelf in a living room. A flower arrangement basket also makes a great centerpiece for the kitchen or dining room table.
Place Baskets under a Coffee or End Table
If you have a coffee table or an end table that has empty space underneath it, place a decorative basket to fill the space. This is a great way to decorate a table as well as add additional storage space to a room. You can place items like blankets, magazines, children's toys, and even extra pillows in the basket so that they are readily available but they are out of sight.
Hang Baskets on the Walls
There are certain kinds of decorative baskets that will look very stylish when hung on the walls. You can hang one large basket on the wall or you can try a collage of smaller baskets. Look for decorative baskets that are different colors and are unique shapes to draw attention to the decorative items.
Deep baskets will not work for hanging on the wall as you need a shallower basket so that it does not stick out too far from the wall. Hang the basket so that the bottom of the basket is flat against the wall.
Fill the Basket with Decorative Items
One of the most common ways to use baskets to decorate a room is filling them will all types of assorted decorative items. Just some of the items that you can consider filling a basket with are decorative balls, rocks, marbles, potpourri, food such as fruits, and holiday decorations. These baskets can then be placed on tables, shelves, counters and even on the floor.
Use baskets that fit the style of the room the best. For example, a modern style room would not have an old-fashioned wicker basket but a country-themed room would be perfect for that style of basket.
These are just few of the many ways that you can use baskets to decorate your home. Baskets are one of the most versatile décor items that are also great for storage and organization and can be used in every room of the home.
