Use baskets to create a unique wall display.  Artisan baskets from around the world make wonderful art for your walls.  Not only do baskets add dimension and texture, you can paint them for added color or use brightly woven baskets from Mexican or African markets.

2.  Storage

There are numerous storage solutions available with the use of baskets.  Throughout the home, baskets can be slipped into shelving, drawers and corners to store items.  At the entryway, each person in the household can have their own basket to keep their belongings handy.

In the kitchen, use baskets on pull-out shelves to organize utensils, spices and other items.

In the home office or craft room, baskets are a brilliant solution to clutter and organizing supplies.
