I have lots of lined casserole baskets. I love the look of them---their different fabric linings and their assorted round and rectangular shapes. Yet I rarely cook or entertain. So I hang these baskets in my dining room on a big plain off-white colored wall. Another spot could be at the top of the wall where it meets the ceiling, such as where you'd run a wallpaper border. Or hang these casserole baskets on the outside of your kitchen cabinet doors. And that's functional too because the baskets are convenient to grab if you do use them for their intended purpose.

7. Don't forget to decorate the mantelpiece over the fireplace. Storage Baskets can mingle with your photos and other displays.

8. Hate dusting your stoarge baskets but want to show them off? Try putting them in an enclosed cupboard or pie cooling rack that has clear windows on the door.

9. Consider putting baskets next to other woven items such as straw purses, table mats, floppy straw hats and straw coasters. Or group these accessory items in a big complementary basket as a display or hang all the items next to each other in a wall display.

10. Group similar origin storage baskets on a wood shelf above a doorway or archway. This is the perfect spot for visibility, yet you're not taking away a functional spot that you may need. For display, you can't beat handmade Native American designs, such as hourglass or platter shapes, or African bowls in multiple sizes. Lean the platters on their sides (or use a table easel or plate stand to display them).The workmanship and design of these type baskets is one-of-a-kind, literally, and incredible. Naturally, these baskets cost more than some others.

11. Note colors. If you buy dyed or painted wood baskets or willow basket, pick ones that match your home decor. For instance, if you have a solid color carpet, pick a multi-colored basket but make sure that at least one of its colors matches your carpet color.

12. Or contrast the color of the storage basket to the wall, such as a pale green basket on a dark green wall. Or a multi-colored basket on a solid white color wall.

13. Or contrast the color of the basket with its contents. For example, put black shiny stones in a basket painted solid white. Or green stones in a red basket. You can do softer color blends too (versus the contrasting colors).

14. If the basket is to hang on wallpaper with a busy pattern, pick a solid color basket that complements or is the color of one of the elements in your wallpaper design. A multi-colored basket would clash or get lost in the jumbled design. A simple wire basket with a rattan base might be ideal in this situation.

15. If you're hanging wall baskets or platters or other flat back baskets, think vertically too. Put a vertical row on each side of a doorway or archway. A basket can add three-dimensional texture to your otherwise flat smooth wall surface.

16. Pot-bellied wall pocket baskets have a rounded bottom and front and a round fixed top handle. But their back is flat so it hangs flat against the wall. Fill them with dried flowers and hanging ivy.

17. dried or fake flower arrangements in your tabletop basket. Pick a basket with a tight weave so the floral foam core doesn't show. Or if you're not handy with creating floral arrangements, buy an inexpensive pre-made floral arrangement from the craft section of bricks and mortar retailers, even one that's in a flower pot or basket already. Just the whole thing into your basket. If needed, fill in around the edges and rim with moss to hide the other planter or basket from view.

18. Flat-backed mize baskets hang against the wall and hold free-flowing vinery or dried spray arrangements. These baskets usually have a cone shaped base with a wider flared opening at the top (for instance, picture an ice cream cone or an upside down witch costume hat).
