Wicker baskets aren't just for picnics anymore! They're becoming a trendy way to add warmth, texture, and a touch of boho charm to your home.  Here at Whispering Homes, we love the versatility of handwoven wall baskets.  They can be displayed alone for a simple statement piece, or grouped together to create a stunning basket wall.

This guide is perfect for beginners who want to bring the beauty of woven wall baskets into their homes. We'll walk you through everything you need to know about hanging wicker basket wall decor,  from choosing the right baskets to getting them securely on your wall.

Find Your Perfect Basket!

The first step is to find the decorative wall baskets that speak to you. When choosing baskets, consider:

Size and Shape: Will you go for a single large statement basket or create a gallery wall with a variety of sizes and shapes? Round, square, or something more unique – the possibilities are endless!

Colour and Texture: Natural wicker offers a classic look, while coloured baskets can add a pop of personality. Consider the overall colour scheme of your space and how the baskets will complement your existing decor.

Style: Do you prefer a clean and modern aesthetic or a more rustic, bohemian vibe? Choose decorative wall baskets that reflect your personal style.

There are many places to find beautiful handwoven wall  baskets, including:

Craft fairs and local artisans

Home decor stores

Online retailers (Whispering Homes offers a curated selection of handwoven baskets!)

Picking Your Hanging Method

Now that you've found your dream baskets, it's time to decide how to hang them. There are two main methods to consider:

Hanging with Hardware: This is the most secure option, ideal for heavier baskets. You can use small nails, picture hangers, or D-rings attached to the back of the basket.

Hanging without Hardware: Perfect for renters or those who want to avoid putting holes in their walls. Command hooks, strong adhesive strips, or even fishing lines can be used for lighter baskets.

Here's a tip: Test the weight of the wall basket with your chosen hanging method before putting holes in your wall.

Wall Power!

Ready to hang your baskets? Here's how:

Planning is Key: For a gallery wall, arrange your baskets on the floor to visualize the layout before hanging. This helps ensure a balanced and cohesive look.

Mark Your Spots: Once you're happy with the arrangement, use a level to mark the spots on the wall where you'll be hanging the baskets.

Hanging Time: Using your chosen method, carefully hang each basket on the wall.

Bonus Tip: Play with dimension! Layer wall baskets of different sizes and textures to create a dynamic display.

With these simple steps, you can transform your space with the beauty of wicker basket wall decor.  So, embrace the woven wonder and bring a touch of natural charm to your home!
