Styling Tip: Baskets

July 17, 2015

Of of my favorite styling accessories are beautiful baskets. I love adding them as a layer for added texture and interest in a room. Baskets are a great accessory because they not only look pretty but they are practical too. I use them as storage, to fill empty spaces and even as plant containers. They can really dress up a simple space. Below are some examples of how I’ve use baskets in my own designs, plus some of my favorite basket picks.

One of my favorite styling tips is to use a pretty basket as a plant holder. I love adding greenery to a space for color and as an organic element in my designs. Below is an indoor plant guide I’ve created to use as a reference for when you are buying plants for your home and some of my favorite selections for baskets to use with plants. You can view more of my tips for using indoor plants here.
