I've been so intrigued lately by using baskets in practical ways in home decor. In my searches for how to do it well, I found a lot of fun ideas, so I'm sharing them with you!
One.
Here are some creative ways to use baskets around the house. My favorite one is the last one - to use baskets as a disguise. If there are things you don't want to have sitting out in plain view, put them in a basket and enjoy a win-win! And if you also employ the first tip of using a basket as a side table (by turning it upside down) you can also disguise something underneath it!
Two.
Lots of great ideas in this post too, but what I love about it is the reminder that not all baskets have to have a wicker look to them. While I like that look personally, I know not everyone does. Baskets come in many forms, and they all work well!
Three.
Many more ideas here, but I particularly love using baskets in fall scenes - like for photo shoots! So pretty!
Four.
So many ideas here for thrifted baskets. One of my friends does a bunch of thrifting and she finds the BEST baskets at thrift stores. They're a great place to look - and garage sales too, though the season for that is winding down around here!
Five.
If brown isn't your thing, check out how these baskets look after they've been painted! I love how bright they are!
Six.
You've probably seen the current trend of hanging shallow or flat baskets on walls. I haven't personally climbed on board with this idea (yet), but this is a great tutorial on how to do it if you want to give it a try!

I love using baskets for organization and storage!
I just bought a bunch of mums yesterday, so now this makes me want to go to thrift stores to find baskets to repot or place them in!
My favorite basket hack is that if you have the honey colored baskets (like Longeberger) you can put steel wool and some used coffee grounds and white vinegar in a jar and let it sit for a couple of days, and then just brush that on your baskets and it will cause a chemical reaction to transform your baskets to a dark brown, like a chocolate color. I did that with all of my baskets and I love it! When you brush it on, it doesn’t look like it’s doing anything, but a few minutes later it starts to turn colors. Check online for more details and to make sure I have the ingredients correct!
