A wicker basket is a versatile addition to any home and can be used to store anything from extra towels in the bathroom to laundry in the kitchen to toys or office supplies in the bedroom. Its natural look also works well with Scandinavian-inspired home spaces. To add some intrigue to a wicker basket, consider adding a macrame lace overlay to its top for additional texture and visual appeal.

While woven wicker baskets are often associated with traditional European styles, they have a much wider appeal today. Many people choose to make their own wicker storage baskets and you can find a wide variety of weaving patterns in craft stores. It’s possible to also learn the craft of basket making at a workshop or by taking classes.

When looking for a wicker basket, it’s important to look for one that is constructed of quality materials and offers precision craftsmanship. Rattan is often considered a superior material for wicker because it can be harvested without damaging the tree and has the flexibility to support intricate weaves. It’s essential to keep in mind that rattan can warp over time if exposed to excessive moisture.
