Admittedly I was a little skeptical about the basket wall craze. It’s a bit like plates on the wall… an odd thing to do. Baskets, to me, are used for pots or items on a table. Then to see them stuck on walls raised an eyebrow. BUT I will say I’m warming to them! I have seen some awesome displays on Instagram and now I think they are a great addition to blank wall. Instead of the usual framed artwork or gallery wall then adding baskets in different textures and colours can make a big statement. They add a 3D contrast to your room.
I’m not talking about baskets you’d put pots in, I’m talking about flat shaped ones which would hang like a saucer. The look you’ll achieve is a mix between boho and tribal.
Come and check out these top ideas below…
Tips
Gather a selection of baskets. Below I have some shopping ideas. It will be tricky to predict how your wall will end up until you have a few in your home ready to go (and maybe keep the receipts in case you decide one or two won’t work!). Make sure they are all different sizes, add a couple with varying colour tones and you can even use flat placements to change up the sizing.
Use little hooks like these here.
Lay them all out on the ground first and shuffle the baskets around until you have a good configuration.
Decide whether your design will have baskets slightly over-lapping or spaces between them.
The baskets should all be friends and none should be floating too far away from each other.
Groups of odd numbers in 3, 5, 7 looks good.
You can easily re-position the baskets without changing the wall hook because there are so many little woven loops to choose from.
Where to buy them
Etsy is a great one-stop-shop. If you type in wall basket you’re going to see a huge selection – some are already packaged up in a bundle for you.
If you’d like to add a bit of colour then Mondo Cherry has a big selection.
Freedom has this gorgeous black one.
ISHKA have heaps. But you will probably need to go in to the store to find what you’re after. Their website doesn’t have their usual big selection. I know our local store is choc-a-block with baskets.
I’m IN LOVE with these from Temple & Webster.
Luxe Coastal Home have some here.
Check out Adrinka Designs.
eBay have lots too.
