Decorating with baskets is one of the easiest ways to add style, show off your personality and add texture and beauty to any room!

Baskets aren’t just for using as trays or for filling with plants. You’ll love these 5 easy ways to use them throughout your home. Some of them might surprise you!

Baskets are one of the #1 items that I recommend keeping in your Home Decor Wardrobe. They can be very affordable and come in an almost endless array of shapes, sizes and colors!

When I’m out shopping and run across a pretty basket that’s different from anything I already own, I’ll usually pick it up to add to my stash because I know that I’ll eventually use it somewhere in my home.   😀

BASKETS AS A SIDE TABLE

Looking for an affordable alternative to a side table? A basket, that has been turned upside down is a great solution that I’ve used several times in my own home! It also is very unique!

BASKETS AS WALL DECOR

Baskets with low sides make great wall decor! They can be grouped together or displayed individually and are a great alternative to a traditional piece of artwork.

They’re also perfect for tucking into a small spot where you need just a little something.

I love to use long hanging baskets, filled with greenery or summery florals on my walls too!

BASKETS TO ADD HEIGHT

If you have a bookcase or a cabinets that seem just a little too low, adding baskets to the top is a great solution. Not only are they decorative, but they can actually be functional if you don’t need to access what is stored in them very often.

BASKETS AS A BASE

When creating a centerpiece or a vignette, I always recommend using something to act as a structure or base and to visually corral the items together.

Placing your items in a basket will immediately draw the eye and give the display a sense of importance, especially when combined with the rest of the decor in the room!

BASKETS AS A DISGUISE

Using a basket to disguise something unsightly in a room is a great decorator trick!  For example, I accidentally hung these draperies too high (they’re several inches off of the floor), but since they’re really only visible from this end of the window, a strategically placed basket hides the problem.

When we added remote controlled gas logs to our fireplace, I was super disappointed to find out that the receiver had to sit outside of the firebox.

No worries though – I simply make sure to keep a basket of some sort in front of it to hide the ugly little black box. You’d never know it’s there and the remote still functions just fine.

Do you have any unique ways that you use decorative woven baskets around your home?

You have probably wondered more than once how to decorate a wall with your own hands to give the space a personality. Many people try to find original decor in the store, but we suggest making it yourself.

This idea may scare some. In reality, doing a lot of paintings, embroideries and abstract works with your own hands is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. Use these items to create a dramatic accent wall in your home. Another plus of homemade decor is that its production will cost you much less than buying similar products in a store. In the end, this can be an exciting activity for a company or family, for which it will be pleasant and fun to spend an evening.

Below we will show you how easy it is to decorate a wall with your own hands. Even beginners can handle this task!

Wicker plates/baskets

ADVERTISING – CONTINUED BELOW

This wicker basket arrangement will instantly make a room feel cozier. Using nails, hang the largest item in the center of the wall, and place the smaller ones next to it.

Wooden spoons

Wooden spoons come in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors, making them the perfect kitchen decoration. Try to achieve an ombre effect by using cutlery in similar shades. Cut a piece of plywood to the right size and paint it. Lay out the items on it and make marks with a pencil on each spoon and in the place where it will be located. Drill small holes and use thin wire to attach each element of the composition to the plywood. When everything is ready, hang the design on the wall.

Clipboards

The gallery wall is one of the most popular options for decorating a room. However, high-quality frames for paintings and photos are usually extremely expensive. Given the fact that they will need a lot, such decoration can hit the wallet. Pay attention to a creative design solution – attach inspirational photos and drawings to vintage clipboards.

Travel Maps

If you love to travel, then make sure that pleasant memories of trips are always in front of your eyes. Hang a cork map on the wall and mark visited places with multi-colored buttons. Complete it with memorable little things – metro cards, museum tickets, business cards and brochures.

Leaf Art

Gather beautiful leaves and flowers and stick them on newspaper or heavy paper, then frame them in a stylish way. We advise you to place on the wall three pictures of the same size and shape with different content – they will look very impressive!

Chalkboard Calendar

Paint the wall with slate paint and let dry. To create a wall calendar, use painter’s tape to make a grid with equal cells, gently touch up any irregularities if necessary. This design solution is suitable for a nursery or hallway. Place the decoration in a conspicuous place so that all family members can take important notes and be in the know.

String art

String art is an art form in which drawings and inscriptions are created using threads and nails. Start by cutting out letters from craft paper. Mark with a pencil the places on the wall or piece of plywood where the holes for the nails will be – they should create an outline of the desired pattern. Drive nails into the wall and wrap them with thick yarn.

Vintage frying pans

A collection of vintage frying pans will create a retro atmosphere in the space. The main advantage of such a composition is that you can remove the kitchen appliance at any time and use it for its intended purpose. By the way, you can also hang plates or trays on the wall.

Tic Tac Toe

Make your wall decor interactive by hanging a vintage or new 9-block window frame. Attach products in the form of crosses and toe to it. You can use this song to play with family members.

Old books

Place books directly on the wall. To do this, make holes in the covers and nail them to the surface with strong nails, you can also use special staples. To make the interior even more original, keep the editions open, fix the position of the sheets with twine or fishing line.

Silhouettes in a frame

Pictures with dark silhouettes of heads or figures of people are very common in the interior, they add a touch of antiquity to it. By the way, such works of art became popular in Europe in the 18th century. You can create these images yourself using pictures of your family members. Take a picture of a loved one, and then print the frame on a regular black and white printer. After that, attach the photo to black paper and carefully cut out the portrait along the outline. As a result, you will get an unusual dark silhouette. Glue it on a white background and paste it into the frame.

Embroidery

Embroidered paintings have a place in any interior, and this is a great and simple answer to the question of how to decorate walls with your own hands. Complement the walls with contrasting bright images or plain patterns. Choose an illustration based on the style and color scheme of the room.

Floral print

Print flowers and leaves on a color printer. Cut them out along the contour and place them on the poster without sticking to it. Try to create several compositions and choose the perfect one, and then attach all the details to a thick sheet and place the composition in a frame.

Modern painting

To make the space more fashionable, paint a picture yourself in a modern style. For this, you do not need to have special skills. Draw black lines on the canvas with a white background like in the photo above and hang the artwork in your living room.

Lavender Drawing

If you like how lavender looks, draw it yourself on a plain piece of paper or canvas. This may not be very easy for a beginner. You may need a master class from a professional. But do not be afraid of this, you will definitely be proud of the result and get tremendous pleasure from the process.

Wooden picture

Cut the wooden spacers into many rectangular pieces, then assemble the original composition by attaching each piece to a solid base with glue. They can be of different lengths, but in order to completely fill the space in the frame, you will have to try very hard and decide in advance which picture you want to get. At the end, paint the product using several matching colors.

Big pictures

Print your favorite photos or inspiration on large sheets of paper to decorate your walls with your own hands. You can put them in a stylish frame and hang them on the wall. We recommend not limiting yourself to one picture and using at least two, placing them next to each other. This design solution is suitable for a bedroom or living room and will instantly enliven a boring interior.

Stencil Drawing

If you can’t draw, don’t worry, you can always use a ready-made stencil to create your own piece of art. First you need to choose the colors you want to use, and then draw an abstract background on the sheet. As soon as it dries, attach a stencil to the picture and cover the canvas with white paint. After removing the plate, you will see a unique image that will become the main decoration of your interior.

Painted paintings

Surely everyone has old paintings that have been gathering dust for years on the mezzanine or in the pantry. If you inherited them or as a gift, but didn’t like them, give them a modern look by partially dipping them in bright paint.

Geometric Artwork

This large geometric wall art is just the right modern accent for the living room. It can be made by hand using plywood and spray paint.

Sea glass decor

If you don’t collect sea glass when you travel, buy it from an art store to make a real work of art with your own hands. There are many examples of paintings from this material on the Web that can serve as sources of inspiration for you. First, decide on a pattern – it can be a simple pattern or, for example, a wave that will mentally take you to the ocean shore every day. Glue bright details onto a wooden frame, and then place the composition in a frame.

Paper flowers

Elegant paper flower arrangements will be a delicate decoration of any wall. This accent decor element looks good in children’s rooms, as well as in the bedrooms of teenagers or adults. Use calm cool tones to create a peaceful atmosphere, or, on the contrary, choose bright colors to cheer you up.

Magazine collage

This is one of the funniest DIY wall decor ideas. You probably already have all the necessary materials to create a work of art. Cut out your favorite images from magazines and newspapers, and then glue them to a solid base. As a result, you will get a colorful drawing that will attract the attention of all guests.
