Baskets can give a country chic feel to a room, regardless of their size or material. Large wicker baskets stacked on shelves clear up clutter without closing off the space with full doors, leaving an open, more airy and casual space. Baskets on the wall serve as artwork or introduce vibrant color to a room while porcelain baskets on tables and counters can hold fruit, mail, or other small items and evoke mental images of a simple life on a country farm.

Matching baskets still offer uniformity and disguise a mess of DVDs, video game system accessories, and more.

Stash toilet paper and other bathroom necessities into matching baskets to add order to a small closet.

Hanging baskets in a row can add color to a room and keep up with small items like keys, hair accessories, pencils and pens, etc.

Another way to use baskets of any size to emphasize a color scheme or just add some visual interest to a room is to spray paint them in any color you’d like. Hide objects inside or just stack them up.

Display beautiful produce or keep up with your keys with small porcelain baskets.

Because baskets come in all shapes, sizes, and colors as well as adding texture to a room while providing extra storage space, every home could use a few.
