How to Easily Hang Wall Baskets

HOW TO EASILY HANG WALL BASKETS SO THAT THEY SIT FLUSH WITHOUT MAKING ANY HOLES IN THE WALL!

You guys, I finally made some serious progress on my daughter’s bedroom makeover. I still have a few small things to do, but I today I wanted to show you how to hang baskets on the wall.

The best part is, I didn’t have to make one hole to create this basket wall! Wicker baskets are a great way to add texture and warmth to a space, so why not make them wall decor?

It’s also a great way to fill an empty wall on a budget, baskets are easy to find at a thrift store or flea market.

I’ve actually had these wall baskets since February but I couldn’t hang them until I bought a headboard. I finally got one and I was so excited to finally see these on the wall!

I found the easiest way to do this!

You won’t even have to make a single nail hole in the wall with this method. What is also so great about this method, is that you can easily layer the baskets for a stacked look as well.

Which Type Of Basket For Wall Hangings

The way you hang your baskets on the wall will be determined by which type of baskets you have and also the weight of the baskets.

My basket are lightweight and all have a flat back. For that reason, I was able to hang mine without making holes. If you have larger or heavier baskets, you’ll need to use something more sturdy.

In that case, I would use these wall hanger hooks. They are my favorite because they are easy to use, require no tools, and only make a small hole in the wall. I prefer them over command hooks any day.

Also, I would recommend using baskets of different sizes for interest, and going with an odd number of them. Odd numbers usually look more pleasing in decorating.

Find Your Wall Placement

This step is optional but I find it helps. It greatly reduces the need to continually put the baskets on and off the wall, potentially damaging the wicker.

First, I traced each of the wall baskets out on paper to make paper templates. I used computer paper because it was all I had on hand. You could also use leftover wrapping paper, newspaper, or anything else you have handy.

By the way, paper templates are a great way to hang any type of gallery wall,

After I had each of them traced and cut, I started trying different arrangements on the wall. I played around with several different layouts before finally deciding on one.

You’ll want them at just about eye level. I imagined a vertical line down the center of the wall. With my first basket, I took the center of the basket and placed it slightly to the right of that. From there, I built out my pattern.

How to Hang Baskets Without Nails

When I found the layout I liked, I removed the templates one by one and replaced them with the baskets.

These baskets are flat and didn’t have any hangers on the back. There wasn’t really an easy way to add a hanger, which wasn’t a problem. Instead, I used Instant Tacky.

This is an adhesive, removable putty and may also be called Fun Tac. The Instant Tacky is the perfect solution for this for a few reasons. One, it works so that the baskets can all sit completely flush on the wall.

Two, it’s completely removable and repositionable without leaving any marks whatsoever. And, three, you can use it to layer the baskets on top of one another for a layered look.

To use it, just place a small amount of the putty on the back of each basket. Next, gently apply pressure as you stick it to the wall. It really couldn’t be any easier.

I’ve used this material to hang items on the wall before and it holds up surprisingly well.

Where to Buy Decorative Wall Baskets

I bought my baskets online from this site but I found the same ones for less here* after I bought mine. What I liked about this set were the slight variation in color and the varying sizes.

You could also collect baskets on your own for a collected, vintage look. I preferred buying a set over trying to piece it together myself. It has a more cohesive look to it this way.

With so many different types of baskets, it’s a fun way to create your own personal style that fits in with your home decor! Not to mention it’s a budget friendly way to fill up empty walls.

You can also see how I hung baskets above a window in our dining nook for a cozy, cottage vibe!

If you’re in the market for a set, here are a few more I found while browsing online:

Set of 9 wicker baskets/Set of 3 Rwanda baskets

White Coil Basket/Set of 6 Woven Wall Baskets

Set of 14 Woven Baskets/Set of 10 Vintage Baskets

Which one is your favorite?
