Wicker baskets

In the interior design, every detail is important. Usually we pay attention to the decoration of walls and the arrangement of furniture, but we forget that different accessories also largely determine how the room will look.

These products gradually enter modern life, becoming bright and fashionable accents in the interior.

Varieties of wicker baskets

The main criterion by which wicker baskets differ is their purpose. Such baskets of different sizes and colors can be installed in the bathroom, the hallway, the nursery, the bedroom, the kitchen. Distinguish:

In the kitchen interior, small wicker baskets look good, designed to store all kinds of small things, from cutlery to edible supplies. For example, it can be a wicker basket for fruits, cookies, sweets. An interesting option is a woven breadbasket - even if it is closed, it has air access.

Wicker laundry baskets are an excellent option for bathrooms. In a large basket, equipped with the same wicker cover, you can store dirty laundry. A few smaller baskets will become a place for clean towels and various household items (clothes pegs, paper towels, toilet paper, etc.).

With the help of woven baskets and trays, you can organize a good storage system. This will require several baskets, preferably of the same size. Usually they are installed on racks or on the shelves of the closet. For example, in one tank you can store T-shirts, in the other - socks, in the third - underwear, etc. Such wicker baskets for shelving will ensure you speed in finding this or that thing without having to turn upside down the entire space of the cabinet.

Similarly, you can store children's toys. Here the convenience lies in the fact that each basket is available for the child (they are usually installed on low shelves along the walls of the nursery), and the kid can easily decompose his soldiers, designer or puzzles into places after the game.

Many people use a wicker basket for Easter: it is very convenient to carry everything necessary for sanctification to the festive church service. This basket necessarily has a handle, but the lid is not always there.

In addition to baskets having a specific practical purpose, there are also purely decorative products. They will decorate your interior, making it more original and in a sense thematic. So, some decorate the living room with live or dried flowers in wicker pots.

In addition to the intended use, the material from which the basket is woven is important. There are not many options here: Willow vine is the most popular material from which we weave all kinds of products for many centuries. Vine - long willow rods - harvested in advance, usually in autumn.

Recently, rattan - dried stalks of rattan palm growing in the countries of South-East Asia has become very popular as a material for weaving. ROTANG is both artificial and natural. Externally, wicker baskets of different types of rattan are no different, but the artificial variety is more practical at a lower price.

And, at last, the most budgetary variant are baskets woven from newspaper tubes. This junk material is not in vain liked by the craftsmen, because it serves as an excellent substitute for the traditional willow vine, and newspapers can be found in any home. Baskets from newspaper tubes can be painted in any color, apply a picture or decorate in the technique of decoupage .
