Baskets are one of my favorite decorative elements and I have them all over my house. They are good for holding things, hiding things, storing things and can even be used to make a bigger and bolder statement in your home.
How about a basket light?
Open weave baskets will allow plenty of light to show through.
Over a table, a tight weave basket hung low will allow the light to flood the table surface.
Even small baskets can be turned into cute pendant lights.
Large baskets are a great way to add a decorative element to a larger room when they are not the only light source.
You know those flopping baskets you see in stores, they make the cutest light pendants.
I love the look of hanging basket lights over an island. The perfect charming rustic detail.
In a covered outdoor space, baskets are a great way to bring the textures of the outdoors into a living space.
So cute. Painted baskets are just adorable in a baby’s room.
So who besides me has added a basket light to their project list? They’re easy to make and here’s a tutorial giving the all the diy details.
