Basket Wall Decor with Bohemian Design

A quick perusal on Pinterest (and DEFINITELY on Instagram) will show you just how popular Boho decor still is. And more specifically, that basket wall decor is a pretty common theme in Bohemian design. So, of course, I wanted to get in on the fun with a thrifted version that had some Sadie style flair.

As I studied all the versions on Pinterest and Instagram, I noticed that many of the flat wall baskets used in these basket gallery walls had touches of color or colorful designs woven in.

Do you recall my Thrift the Look: Boho Decor post? In it, I used a colorful wall basket in place of a mirror in the inspiration photo.

But when you go thrift shopping for hanging wall baskets, you typically just find the plain versions!

And I started to wonder, would there be an easier way to add color without having to paint an intricate design?

Well, guess what- there is! I decided to pair up the plain/natural baskets with another thrift store item: woven trivets! (Or straw trivets…I’m not sure which name is better.)

The best part about this is that creating my version of basket wall decor only takes a few minutes AND there are no complicated painting techniques required. In fact, there’s no paint involved at all!

Boho Wall Decor and Basket Wall Art

After thrift shopping for hanging wall baskets, this is what I ended up with. None of them were fancy; in fact, I even picked up a couple of paper plate holders (which I’ve used before at Halloween).

And this is the collection of woven trivets that I assembled. I found plenty at thrift stores, with a few additional trivets provided by my friend, Maliasmark.

If you can’t find these at thrift stores, they are always available on Etsy.

All that was left to do was to pair them up together by size, shape, and color.

Once I did that, I simply hot glued the woven trivets to the centers of their corresponding baskets.

You could certainly use craft glue or even super glue, but hot glue worked just fine. Everything is so light weight that hot glue worked perfectly.

And that was it! Now I could hang them on the wall.

Now, before I hung them up, I arranged them on the floor to figure out the placement that worked best for my wall space. Then, I snapped a photo with my phone once I was completely happy with it.

To hang them, I used dainty clear Command Hooks like these. Again, because they are so lightweight, there was no point in getting out the hammer and nails.

Depending on the basket weave, I could simply thread the little Command Hook through the basket itself.

For those with tighter weaves, though, I tied a small loop of craft thread through the back of the basket and hung the loop on the hook.

Either way, I love, love, LOVE how they turned out! Who knew that basket wall decor could be so easy to make without a drop of paint?

So, what do you think of this idea for basket wall decor? Even if your home decor style isn’t Boho, a basket gallery wall works with other themes, as well!

Plain ones for farmhouse or rustic, or metal (or metallic-painted) baskets for industrial, etc. No need to add trivets to those styles, though.

And if you enjoyed my upcycling idea for Boho wall decor, then you’ll love this idea for Bohemian style bottle charms, as well!

These boho bookends that I made from a plain set of wooden bookends may also be of interest to you, as well!

Craft on!
