I love to decorate with baskets! I love their texture, shape, versatility, style and colors. The beauty of decorating with baskets is that they go well with all design styles. They’re extremely stylish and they never go out of fashion. They can make any room look charming and well organized. The most common use of baskets is as a storage accessory. They keep a room looking very neat and tidy.
But you can also take advantage of the different sizes, colors and shapes of baskets to decorate your home in a way that’s totally unexpected. Let me show you a few designs that you can easily do in your home. For example, look at this basket, which contains an indoor plant, and see how it blends in nicely with the neutral color of this room.
