Woven Wall Hanging Storage Basket

Small kitchens and bathrooms run out of counter space long before they run out of wall. Onions and garlic crowd the chopping board, toiletries line the edge of the basin, and the wall above sits bare.

The Woven Wall Hanging Storage Basket moves some of that clutter up. It hangs on the wall, holds produce, toiletries or small odds and ends, and adds warm woven texture to a plain surface. That simple change is what makes it such a practical storage basket for tight spaces.

What makes the hanging basket stand out

Hanging is the whole idea. A basket on the wall frees the counter below it, which makes a small room feel larger and easier to clean. It also puts everyday items at eye level, where they are quick to grab.

The woven texture is the second strength. Rattan style fibers over a frame bring warmth to a bare wall. The basket reads as decor as much as storage, so it suits kitchens, bathrooms and entryways alike.

The three sizes are the third. Small, medium and large versions let you match the basket to the wall and to what it will hold. The size listed for this design is 6.69 inches wide and 5.70 inches tall.

Its flexibility is the fourth. The same basket can hold garlic in a kitchen, rolled wash cloths in a bathroom or sunglasses by the door.

Where it looks best, room by room

• Kitchens. Onions, garlic or lemons off the counter.
• Bathrooms. Rolled wash cloths and small toiletries, away from the shower.
• Entryways. Sunglasses, keys or gloves by the door.
• Nurseries. Small soft toys or bibs on the wall.
• Craft rooms. Yarn or small supplies at eye level.

In a kitchen, a hanging basket near the stove holds garlic and onions, which like air around them, while keeping the counter free for cooking.

In an entryway, a basket by the door gives sunglasses and gloves a home, so they stop landing on the hall table.

Choosing the size and placement

The basket comes in small, medium and large. The size listed for this design is 6.69 inches wide and 5.70 inches tall, so check the Dimensions section and the photos for the size you choose.

Think about the wall. Choose a spot near where the items are used, at a height you can reach comfortably. In a kitchen, that might be beside the stove. In a bathroom, beside the mirror.

The hook matters most. Fix a hook rated for the weight of whatever you plan to put in the basket rather than a light picture pin. A basket of onions weighs more than it looks. The product data does not say a hook is included, so plan to supply one.

A few tips help:

• Keep wet items out of the basket.
• Hang it away from direct shower spray.
• Load it evenly so it hangs straight.
• Leave space around it so it does not knock against cupboard doors.

Care is gentle. Dust with a soft brush rather than a damp cloth, and wipe spills promptly. Woven fiber holds water and stains, so keep it dry.

Produce deserves a note. Onions, garlic, lemons and potatoes keep well in a basket, but anything wet or ripe enough to leak should go elsewhere. Check the basket every few days and remove anything past its best.

In a bathroom, hang the basket away from the shower. Steam is fine, but water running down the wall is not.

Several baskets in different sizes, hung in a cluster, make an attractive wall display. The small one might hold keys, the medium one gloves and the large one a scarf or two.

For renters, a strong adhesive hook rated for the weight may be an option on smooth walls, as long as the load stays light.

It also helps to hang the basket where its texture can be seen. A plain painted wall or a tiled backsplash shows off the weave, and a single basket can soften a kitchen full of hard surfaces.

For a nursery, keep the basket above the reach of small hands but low enough for you to grab bibs or a soft toy in a hurry. A matching larger basket on the floor completes the look.

In a craft room, a row of baskets at eye level turns small supplies into a colorful display. Each basket can hold one type of item, so it is easy to see what you have before starting a project.

When you change the look of a room, the basket moves easily. Lift it off the hook and hang it somewhere new, and the only thing left behind is a small fixing.

Pairing it with other pieces

A hanging woven basket pairs well with wooden shelves, ceramic jars and other woven pieces. In a kitchen, a linen tea towel and a small herb pot nearby complete the look.

Browse the storage collection for more baskets, or the wall decor collection for pieces to hang alongside it.

Is the hanging basket right for your space?

This basket is a strong fit if you:

• Have a crowded counter and a bare wall above it.
• Want storage that adds texture to a room.
• Need a spot for produce, toiletries or small items.
• Like a choice of three sizes.
• Can fix a sturdy hook in the wall.

It is not the right choice for wet items, heavy tins or anything that needs a lid. A shelf or a cupboard will suit those needs better.

For freeing up counter space with a touch of warmth, though, a woven hanging basket is a simple and charming solution. Every order ships free within the US, and most arrive in 6 to 9 business days.
