11 Chic Ideas For Decorating With Baskets

by Nishtha

Baskets are one of the most underrated decoration elements at home! 

It is quite likely that you might find one or two lying around in your home – unused and disorganized. 

Well, decorating with baskets is quite inexpensive, practical, and they simply offer more benefits than just rustic aesthetics. So, if you’re facing a similar situation – it’s time to get those cute baskets into use. 

Whether you plan to decorate that empty corner, store toiletries in the bathroom, or keep your keys in the hallway – check out these 11 chic ideas for decorating with baskets.

Decorating with Baskets – 11 Ideas

Plant a Tree

Traditional Living Room Design

By now, you must know that I absolutely love plants!

So, whether it’s about styling that empty vase or a rattan basket itself – planting a tree will offer the best of both worlds. 

This is one of the best decorating with basket ideas since you’re giving birth to a gorgeous tree in your home – from one of the sustainable materials itself!

You can plant a large tree like this and spruce that empty corner in the most creative ways.

Lastly, just make sure that you plant in a plastic planter first and then transform it into a rattan or wicker holder!

Organize Towels in the Bathroom

Organize and maintain your towel sets in those cute little basket trays in the bathroom!

Let me tell you, the bathroom is one of the best places to decorate with baskets since they tend to add a sense of character while playing totally functional.

And not just the towels but you can even organize your toiletries, store toilet paper and other necessities, and also style those fancy fluffy slippers you always had! 

Cantilevered shelves and countertops are great spaces to style those beautiful baskets.

And trust me, whether rattan, wicker, or metal – they will all play phenomenal with your bathroom setups!

Style with Pampas Grass and Blankets

Isn’t there something that makes a combination of pampas grass and baskets so unique?

Well, have a look at the Farmhouse backdrop here! A perfect blend of wicker seagrass baskets with the rattan ones makes a fabulous pair!

You have the opportunity to style a throw pillow and blanket in one of them while some pampas strands on the other!

This will therefore exhibit an overall clean and minimalist look. 

I have another blog on How to Decorate with Pampas Grass that you must have a look at!

Extra Storage in the Bedroom

Got little storage space for your guest bedrooms? No worries!

It’s time to add a decorative feature that also plays functional and practical!

Decorating with baskets in your bedrooms is actually quite easy – well, you can simply place them at the foot of the bed and store those extra linens and pillow covers!

This way, not only are you adding rustic beauty to your rooms, but also getting the decorative accessories into use!

And not just the linens but you can even place the guest slippers, towels, extra cushions, and bathrobe in it!

Place Basket Tray on the Coffee Table

A unique and chic idea for decorating with baskets includes placing a basket tray on the coffee table in your living room!

This is one simple way to style and store all your table necessities in a single decorative accent!

Or else, you can even pair it with indoor plant vases, coffee table books, and various decorative urns!

Furthermore, you can always place some candles, scents, little indoor plants, and antiques on this beautiful rattan or wicker basket tray!

And in case you want to wipe and clean that tabletop – just simply pick up the basket tray and your work is done.

Decorating with Baskets on the Wall

Who says that you can only use baskets for storage?

Try decorating with baskets in an African décor style that brings a variety of basket materials, sizes, and shapes on the wall to create an authentic style statement.

Whether it is the accent wall in the dining room or a complete gallery wall – create an eye-catchy statement by mixing and matching a perfect flair of baskets in a row.

Have a look at my ‘Japandi Love’ Apartment design where I played with baskets on the dining area wall for a client who absolutely loved the Japandi Interior design style!

Hang the Basket

Farmhouse Foyer Design

Hanging planter baskets is quite cool!

Well, let me spill a design bean here! 

In case you have an empty corner that you’re planning to decorate – just simply hang a wall-mounted coat rack and hang a woven basket like this!

You can place an indoor planter or store some essentials to maintain a clean and tidy aura underneath.

Furthermore, you can always either line up a few in number or simply just style only one to create an accent!

You can also hang them through floating shelves and your built-in cabinetry.

Decorate the Entryway with Baskets

Coastal Foyer Design

Your entryway is the first impression of your home!

And since this is the first picture your guests and colleagues see, it must be organized and well-maintained.

Have a look at this built-in cabinetry here – ain’t the organized baskets looking simply flawless?

Even though it can be challenging, you must make sure that you clean up the mess by using these storage baskets.

Some can hold your shoes, keys, gloves, totes, everyday necessities, and even novels and antique accessories.

Keep all the out-of-sight items here!

Utilize Each Inch for Baskets

Apart from the aesthetics, decorating with baskets is also quite flexible!

They come in a wide array of shapes, sizes, and forms – thus, can definitely be used in the most mysterious spaces to utilize each and every corner.

I am sure there must be some awkward corners in your home that are gradually collecting dirt and dust.

Some are hard to reach (over 7 feet) and some are so low that they automatically become a space for shoes!

Yes, these are the spaces that require utmost attention!

Just creatively place those cute woven baskets to capture attention in that corner!

Add Baskets to Console Tables

Modern Farmhouse Living Room Design

Generally, console tables are quite cluttered with your decorative accents and everyday essentials.

But do they really deserve it?

Well, no!

And this is when you need to incorporate and style the baskets to keep the surroundings clean and tidy!

Either place a pair or use one piece of the basket to add that flair and character to your room!

You can store the extra toys, antiques you don’t wish to display, some pillows, and everyday essentials here!

Think outside the box and rather place a contrasting basket indeed.

Create a Boho Touch with Baskets

Modern Laundry Room Design

Another great room these baskets must make a presence is in the laundry room!

Unclutter the floating shelves and countertop and style some woven baskets in contrast to create a perfect Boho flair!

At this point of time, I recommend you contradict and play with materials – for instance, a mixture of seagrass, cane, rattan, and wicker altogether would be a great experience!

Keep all your laundry soaps and detergents along with extra towels here!

You see, decorating with baskets can be one of the most fun tasks to do! So, are you excited for maybe one or two? Do let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
