DIY hack: how to create a basket art wall

DIY hack: how to create a basket art wall

There’s a lot to like about the current trend for creating basket art walls. It’s one of the cheapest ways to brighten up a bare wall, it’s beautifully versatile and easy to create.

Instead of using a framed art or gallery wall, you add baskets in different textures and colours to make a decorative statement.

Take a look below for some inspiration.

Will the real decor hoarder please stand up... 🙋🏻‍♀️😎ha! I knew I'd use these baskets again one day. Basket wall tutorial-ish over on my stories today. Ps. Most of these baskets were thrifted!

Place a large mirror in the centre of your basket wall as a focal point.

I've been stuck in some areas recently, but I had a real breakthrough yesterday. Morgan's comment about there not being a book of rules to follow in this whole home decor thing really snapped me out of my funk! I'm such an enneagram 1, type A, rule follower, that I get my own way most days. For some reason I had convinced myself that my house had to check all of these certain boxes to be great... but never duplicate boxes because that would just be too much. Basket walls for instance - I've got a rad one in my dining room but I've hesitated to create another one thinking it would be over the top. Because of this notion and my perfectionism, I've withheld so many spaces because they weren't perfect yet. So here we are. Here is my master bedroom. Severely lacking in Pinterest worthy bedding and pillows and rocking basket wall number 2... because the rules are, there are no rules.

A large, single basket also works well on a small wall or when positioned over a bed.

Another beautiful bedroom space that brings me so much inspiration. I think this is a perfect blend of masculine and feminine design.

For a modern headboard, add several baskets and overlap them behind your bed.

Moroccan dream bedroom for ✌🏼. DIY basket headboard tut over on my stories. I've never been more in love with this space... is it bedtime yet?

Baskets with raised sides work well and you can even include the lids from old laundry baskets to mix it up.

Isn't good vinyl the ultimate thrifted find, especially when it's your most beloved band? . . . Everything pictured is thrifted minus the sound system. (Even my snake plant that I've managed to keep alive!) . . . . . #hippydwelling #deadhead #midcenturycredenza #mcmmodern #eclecticdecor #bohohomedecor #bohostyle #vintagenashville #vintagehome #casabonita #itsprobablythrifted #thriftingwithmgc #basketwall #wickerfurniture #mybohoretreat #mystoryfilledhome

Top tips for creating your own basket wall:

1 Gather a selection of baskets. Shop your home first, then try op shops, two-dollar stores, vintage stores and IKEA to get a good mix of styles. Choose an odd number; five, seven or nine depending on wall size.

2 Place your baskets on the ground and shuffle them around until you achieve the look you want. You can overlap them or separate them, but don't have them floating too far apart from one another.

3 Attach the baskets to your wall using small hooks. Small removable hooks are ideal, especially if you're a renter.

4 Reposition your baskets until you're happy with how your wall looks. You can add or take some away easily, too.
