1. The brief history of wicker baskets:

These baskets firstly appeared in ancient Egypt and then later became widely popular during the Victorian Era. Interestingly, the term wicker refers to a specific technique for making these storage baskets. Wicker baskets are originally made from a wide variety of materials including the more obvious ones like rattan to the more obscure ones like bamboo, grass, reed, and willow. More recently, the term “wicker baskets” is being applied to several kinds of storage baskets. 

2. Why we should choose wicker baskets?

2.1. Diverse and Unique in shapes, sizes and designs for your home decor.

Wicker baskets owe their highly versatile and practical nature to their flexible design. They come in different shapes and sizes and offer varying levels of storage capacity. With several options to choose from including large, small, open-tops, lids and handles, they are ideal for practical storage around the house. While traditionally, a storage box has been in use, wicker baskets have quickly replaced these options due to their versatility.

Unlike a storage box, a wicker basket can fit right into your home décor without ruining the aesthetics. Since these are woven baskets, they come in different designs and weave patterns that you can choose from. Woven baskets never let you down in this regard because they allow you to explore your personal style while getting something practical out of it as well. And we get it, using a wicker basket as an interior décor piece might not seem like a good idea at first but give it a try.

2.2 Green and friendly to the environment

Traditionally, wicker baskets have sustainable materials like weed, bamboo, rattan, and seagrass, etc. So, not only are they biodegradable, these materials have an extensive growth rate as compared to traditional lumber sources. You don’t have to feel guilty about throwing out an old wicker basket because they will degenerate into safe dirt very quickly. They are easy on the environment through and through.

Moreover, wicker baskets are re-usable so you can easily replace all your plastic grocery shopping bags with these woven baskets. They are very easy to handle and require minimal cleaning. Unlike a plastic basket that would probably need soap and water to wash, a simple cotton cloth damp with cold water is enough for cleaning wicker baskets. You wouldn’t have to worry about using a harmful detergent to wash the basket. A damp cloth is a far more environmentally friendly option on all accounts.

3. Highly affordable

You don’t want to spend all your hard-earned money on getting storage items just so that you can get on with your spring cleaning and organizing spree. Wicker baskets are a very healthy alternative to expensive and over-priced storage and organizing products you’ll otherwise find. They come with a reasonably low-price tag so that you can easily get as many as you like without breaking the bank.

And with a wide variety of options to choose from in terms of shapes and sizes, they can easily cover all your storage needs around the house – from large items to smaller ones. If you always plan on getting organized around the house but then back away from the prospect of spending on expensive organizers, wicker baskets are a great alternative we definitely recommend. With a wicker basket around the house, you can get organized on a budget and do it with style.

2.4 Great for planting trees

Another great use of wicker baskets is for planting trees. You can bring some of the nature inside the house safely by planting trees in your basket. Be sure to select a thickly woven basket that can hold the weight of the plant that you choose to use it for. The green color of the plant alongside the rustic, vintage design of the wicker basket goes well together and can bring out the warm tones in your home décor.

2.5 Unusually Classy Wall Décor

This is a recent trend where people have started using their wicker baskets as wall hangings. The idea might seem absurd at first but it’s catching on pretty quickly and the results are insanely beautiful. Wicker baskets naturally have a very rustic and aesthetic design that can fit right into home décor pretty easily.

And if you have a plain wall, you can add a bit of a flare by hanging these baskets and arranging them in particular patterns to make sure they look appealing. You can also choose to hang plants inside to add a bit of a personal touch. A good tip is to buy different sizes and shapes of wicker baskets for your wall décor. This way, you’ll have a variety and the baskets will take up space on the wall more elegantly.
