Figuring out how to decorate a bare wall can be a challenge, especially if you want to mix it up and try something a little different than the standard gallery wall. Decorating with baskets can be a great way to add a bit of eclectic charm to your house and provide texture to your walls. They're easy to hang and hard to mess up, so it's a great wall decor idea for even the beginner home decorator. Basket decor can be a great way to fill up any bare wall, from the living room to the office to the bedroom.

Here, we've rounded up our favorite basket decor ideas to inspire your next makeover.

    One reason we love hanging baskets is that they can add a lot of visual interest without taking away from the minimalist or Scandi feel of a room. In this living space from Konstantinas Nest, a waterfall of textured, woven baskets creates a ton of visual appeal. They pair wonderfully with the black and white color scheme and maintain a simple vibe in the space.
