Catch Your Eye and Put Things in Wall Baskets

Wall baskets provide you with both form and function. They give you beauty and also the capacity to display or hold knickknacks, flowers or anything. You can use them in any room. Put one by the door to hold items you need to take with you...

Shapes of Baskets for Your Wall

These baskets come in a variety of shapes: cone tapered pot-bellied tulip fluted 24" deep (imagine french bread in it)

The Various Uses

People use baskets on their walls for different reasons. Here are just a few:

Flea Market Brainstorming

When you're looking for wall baskets but don't quite know exactly what, take a look at eBay. It's a great place to get your imagination flowing. You could even find something you love!

Where to Buy

It's not an easy chore finding a large selection from which to choose your wall mounted basket. Each of the sources below have a few samples, varying in size, shape, color, material, etc.

My favorite source for these baskets is Basketville, a Vermont company with roots that go back to 1842! You gotta like anyone that's been around that long producing what customers want. One of their more visually interesting items is the Teardrop Popcorn Candle Basket. It sort of reminds me of a pineapple. Another eye-catcher is their 24 inch Never-Ending Nantucket Wall Basket. It makes an attractive wall decoration all by itself.

Take a look at Wild About Baskets too. They have half a dozen or so items in this category including a cone-shaped one and the only "pot-bellied" one I've seen. Their American Spirit basket is perfect for mail or magazines.

Do you like a Native American look? Check out the wall baskets at Leather by Lana. She makes small baskets covered in leather with frills at the bottom. All of ornamented, as well, with one thing or another.

One last place to peruse is Bev's Handwoven Baskets from Southern Ohio. In addition to her baskets to hang on the wall, she's got an interesting item called a step or stair basket.

Choices, Choices, Choices

I love options, and you may too, but sometimes too many can get a bit out of hand. Maybe you narrowed your wall baskets choices to a reasonable number. Want help making the final choice? Try Choose It.
