Two Easy Ways to Hang Your Wall Baskets

Whether You Prefer Nails or a No-Damage Option, We’ve Got You Covered

Method 1: Hanging with Nails

Secure & Classic – The Tried-and-True Method

Step 1: Gather Your Tools

Before you begin, make sure you have everything you need for a
smooth and secure installation:

  • Measuring Tape—For accurate placement and spacing.
  • Painter’s Tape—To mark positions without damaging your wall.
  • Hammer—To gently tap in your nails.
  • Nails—Select the right type based on your wall surface (drywall,
    plaster, etc.).

A little preparation goes a long way in creating a beautiful, balanced
basket wall!

Step 2: Find the Center Above Your Furniture


To create a balanced and visually pleasing display, it’s important to
plan your placement with precision:

  • Locate the Center Point – Measure the width of the furniture (like
    a sofa, console, or bed) and mark the center using painter’s tape
    or a pencil. This helps align your wall baskets perfectly above the
    piece.
  • Mark at Eye Level – For optimal visibility and aesthetic appeal,
    aim to position the center of your wall decor around 57” to 60”
    from the floor, which is standard eye level in most homes.

Proper placement ensures your wall baskets feel naturally
integrated into the room's layout.


Step 3: Lay Out Your Wall BasketsBefore Hanging

Plan your arrangement on the floor to get the perfect layout before
committing to the wall:

  • Visualize the Design – Place your 13-inch wall baskets (and any
    accompanying plates or smaller pieces) on the floor in front of
    your furniture. Use a couch, table, or open floor space to match
    the wall's proportions.
  • Mimic the Final Layout – Arrange the pieces in the same pattern
    you want on your wall. This helps you adjust spacing, orientation,
    and balance before making any marks or holes.

Taking time to pre-plan the layout makes hanging faster, easier, and
ensures a beautifully cohesive wall display.


Step 4: Start Hanging with the Largest Basket

Begin your installation by anchoring the centerpiece of your design:

  • Center First for Balance – Start by hanging the largest wall
    basket at the center of your layout. This serves as the visual
    anchor for the rest of your arrangement.
  • Nail Placement Matters – Hammer the nail through the center of
    the basket, ideally between the woven coils for a stable and
    secure hold.
  • Adjust as Needed – Step back to check the height and
    alignment before moving on to the next piece.

Placing your largest basket first helps guide the rest of your wall
decor into a perfectly balanced and eye-catching display.

Method 2: Hang Wall Baskets Without Nails: A Renter-Friendly, Damage-Free Guide

Want to bring the warmth of handmade decor into your home without leaving a single mark on the wall? At Artisanal Emporium, we believe that beautiful interiors should never come at the cost of damaged walls or broken lease rules. If you're wondering how to hang wall baskets without nails, this easy, no-drill guide is for you. We'll walk you through renter-safe, no-damage techniques to help you showcase your woven wall decor with style and confidence — no tools, no holes, and no stress!

Step 1: Choose the Right Adhesive Hooksor Strips

Select high-quality adhesive wall hooks or mounting strips
that match the weight of your wall baskets. Look for options
labeled damage-free and suitable for painted walls, drywall,
or smooth surfaces. For lightweight seagrass or rattan
baskets, medium-strength hooks usually work best.

Step 2: Clean & Prep the Wall Surface

Wipe the wall area with a clean, dry cloth (or rubbing alcohol
if needed) to remove dust and ensure strong adhesion. Let it
dry completely before applying the adhesive hook.

Step 3: Stick & Hang

Apply the adhesive hook or strip according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. Once set (usually after a few
minutes), gently hang your wall basket by its weave or loop.
Step back and adjust if needed — you're done!

Every piece is a story of culture, care, and connection made for your home.
