And the ottoman gets a helping hand from a tray, allowing it to double as a coffee table. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8J7eomL94D_iPFHxjkf5ddwRPEBBl4KVVQwEquE-iJNKCzv8J3rGb7B7NlELMHjC8c0VHeKvQzgXW5IbTcei8I0V9k397aDycWVlY6csn28Eo6nmq4JSyoKsIB3HeHcK7hnUcslc5B_A/s1600/Clever-Solution-for-Small-Spaces-2014-Ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With its pale walls and light furnishings, this neutral oasis was the perfect candidate for a color transformation. A few bold pillows, a rug, a throw, and DIY artwork turn up the heat in this compact living space with little effort. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiycrTx-UE0HajSCf6WRUSPmQFaPo4-AGjH71cqSlnF1weO8HwZPUZ2IcY9WT1P1bIis34WgoVk5vbAfLc9nawxAT4NGxEZ_MLw9aLasQo7hSOgi8Kh98nOiwOt5jRTNoiLhPkqfBhW5kg/s1600/Clever-Solution-for-Small-Spaces-2014-Ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Trading dark upper cabinets for a sparkling wall of vintage look tiles turned this kitchen luminous.

Warm grays, those with yellow or reddish undertones, are the neutral of the moment and are as versatile as they are trendy. If you have beige or tan walls, switching to warm gray walls is easy, yet impactful. The shades are distant cousins and finding a hue that works with your existing furnishings is a cinch. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDJSeE9FJ6s7g3zhnI4ovcvkaKdL63uVo9_1Cn99duWe1Aajo1QkxAdxO23x28P1yAqmabZDZF84Or2FycueB4X2hIKIJMDi5LOwYZKbF_q-Qx3VoZU2C6s4nP5y0LoyBMljMn-gg8Ut4/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-2.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For so long, silver and its cohorts have been the first place metal in home decor. But more recently, yellow metals are inching back into the spotlight. Embrace the trend with gold accents that have a little softer finish, rather than metals with a full on shine. And for a less glitzy take, try antique brass finishes, which tend to be more matte. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq9Zx8wi3ieYa81g8byduggW8mRu3Kn_uQDbFmhG8_ejBP6g7N8XBDBEL4KpptNwEzhWI9eeGrY0u6JQb4MDBqPRmkyrLWFHydIB8eR-xZRaDzXwR8E-D6jpb2FwMBbMRF4G_iMPeyabg/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-3.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Think bright, not Easter egg-esque when it comes to pastels. These fun hues lend a feminine aura to flea market finds and rustic and industrial finishes. Or, paired with traditional furniture and styling, can recall a romantic look. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqr1h__smIUzGf15bJ0HKufum-oCH377U0dh4RMHTX8u0Arf7EJCIMfqHOUzdOKrz1Mjw6eejKe2Oa6OFQGbMmdjiE1vS8hYd8PLuFwsAjF6aM9SJvfUeSae_GUBaA8qMJDD6y_4ExRwk/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-4.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This global pattern has been on the decorating scene for a few years now, but it is still going strong. The pattern is widely available and appears on fabrics, rugs, and many other household products. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi80NPUb7PNRMqvprntZgQ8CaI3phcDqdJ9h_qtdibbvEXo86zgeUy0iQaXTKnMECQ5LHAy0ccI2eVThvGQ9M2NKUDw6lbztVJtCG9Z-2wgyo2E7QiiqoQ5x744rE4VpG0qHx2MmqaL0e0/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-5.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Decorating with nature never seems to go away, but different forms take the spotlight. This year's primadonna: agates and geodes. Whether used as simply display pieces, fashioned into accessories such as lamps, or splayed across art and fabrics as motifs, these geological wonders integrate nicely into almost any room. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimtf-gxeQyrgHJkBXJBRfOU42_YLGnelN9bNA0YJBPQ4uYbWRaoj2pVLh5wlMTw7rkmNC-lOCIjk4vG4PHbrW8fTEnDEvepZFwwGpgBzutg8iDGUQpG8zFeVRxEUNq03uxAZHBpCaTjB8/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-6.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Also from the natural world, taxidermy is making its way out of the hunting lodge and into the mainstream. Whether it's antlers and horns or stuffed heads and papier mache models, taxidermy inspired pieces offer a quirky alternative to standard wall decor. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9JEbSBHomBR-HLVC3AtVfKJjXjdjVqujotJzVg1o6dPMuyDYFivqzhXA4v69z_Xs6h4gfMgNr_Pu5uQ07CIxTuo5k3hO0AVuzATJY_VQJ8uoY4WyAdXGhMqzj78UCw9mViN2y4ZP9qBo/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-7.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nodding to nautical influences, wide stripes are a pattern of substance and can serve as a counterbalance to more delicate prints in rooms dressed in cottage or casual traditional style. Try the pattern on upholstery, pillows, curtains, walls, rugs, and more! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixoJDMBxIK8UoHFRBCPsEKpSOVQGCOBJPahGzwt2HcI-M57ywPPCw2-zZuu5hyphenhyphenMWWPd6SP8dSNKiHOSqfbv_3yVZ3xSJYbA24mJC1ev_U5Y-4R4U8G1F5TmCC4uPgi8AQFK6sd-TZZAJ0/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-8.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This shaggy wool material dates back several centuries and is enjoying a renaissance in home decor at the moment. With its wooly texture and soft hand, the material works as a pillow amongst a mix of patterns and textures or as a rug to add softness underfoot. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXnePIOyzn33ZRTZY-pkstC83GCqe-QAq2DPamuFc_Lam4f_BLU8EMjPH1H-uJlXYB6Zjvsm00Vejn4cg3UE-ytdiQLltcFEPdpA4uR3KLGw6X8yjC_pe8I9cCsc05PNMTGxb00j0dGt8/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-9.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These flat weave rugs hail from India and are a stylish alternative to thick pile rugs. Layer one on top of a larger rug or introduce one to a space where you currently don't have a rug, such as a dining room or entryway. Dhurries can be found in a variety of colors, patterns, and sizes, often at an affordable price. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCyRhCTwYUmxCin-w9o9C8eWUxaG2L8sJLfiqcIIU3XqIXD928pqtoIW65itUnhCvtjsgv5ms1Z1uHBkLNiNHYQ5LSyw80i97YQKXPnp-9TCOpOCw5xtF_CHcaj3aStp2nebXrmr2Inog/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-10.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Whether your look is cottage, vintage, modern, or somewhere in between, raw wood can have a place in your decor. Shop architectural salvage stores for pieces to add as accents or to use as shelves or mantels. And you'll find a lot of accessories and accent furniture pieces on the market that are made to look like raw wood, providing another way to capture this hot look. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs09h4wptUsvcvi1efFCp_fRDkmpkdHAjnduIvjEnfO3yVQRysE6i6lMg-M0hNdtcHOBTIy-CaJyOJ9lsLc1JrK1PUl1lZdq_Ic6Yke3LSdCNNqC9uT3HOdJjhvg0zB4tnte8aJZWXTmw/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-11.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Forget everything you know about wallpaper. Yes, it can be cringe worthy, but the market continues to be flooded with more good than bad. With so many colorways, patterns, and styles available, you'll be sure to find something you love now and will love later. Rather than wallpapering a whole room, try it on just an accent wall or in a small space, such as an entryway or powder room. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRRtMSeT6693I9YL7xCx4fhnCttIz0AP8Lh3owk-nQiRkOLdYyRDj2Yo86fTvMmN4PIM-0oEuBuMg05xSFJ-p7clKag2amSFh9BgWyPNwTO07TbBAbnf90su4UwBhsmG_ltodiR8Y_lTo/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-12.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Speaking to both the nautical and industrial design crazes, rope can introduce an earthy texture to a polished room, or it can meld perfectly into a cottage or beach-style space. Look for rope-wrapped accessories, such as this tray, to add to your decor. Or pick up some yardage at your local home center and get creative. For starters, use rope to hang picture frames or display it in a sculpturelike fashion inside a clear cylindrical vase. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGUAA4G5jivzt6brHTzYqGRyAQXes2GEofvifIkCbGDYcfmOXON3cHdMnwXtXYJ3M1-IFDi5a2S5qsuphYM5dU47WWeIL2vGTVhn3RwiGmT1B9wLWEYnBbxf97WVnS-o3dnzcRfLOXNSM/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-13.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">School is in session in the decorating world. Repurposed schoolhouse furniture, beakers used as vases, and vintage flashcards as art will add a bit of flea market whimsy to your home. In this kitchen, an old table mined from a science classroom now serves as a fun island. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2g8yLLD2Bu5x1fJsO3LLxaExYrvivddYHYT7UdvmVfTjoaiBFhQLtjh9egphug9aj8GDC0MZTxir60xlQSGtjhYnDGL5unThJsS-LTe7QFpo9YjbzLdZf14QAplvL_biN_iuarVoKr8U/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-14.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's all over Pinterest, and has long been one of our favorite DIY projects: Painted furniture is now taking a new twist. Those old, awful pieces you see sitting forlorn in the corners of secondhand shops are no longer being ignored. Innovative homeowners are seeing past the tacky finishes and dated hardware and, with just white paint, retro (the bad kind of retro) pieces like this sideboard are revived for the 21st century. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNjMCN40yvzPh-ZLFgRTNt77AEcZOQGgGvm368ii7DJCmvDjpZVxoLlpnhXJazpN3Ofla7v5lysa1ZhfCduWlzLggi2D6TLBEvK47ei8YJPsn-0lA04ezji2qItiZ1huzTrDxZiI31_w/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-15.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These once awful pieces can look gorgeous with more color. Picture this massive buffet with an overbearing honey colored, tiger stripe stain. Not so current, right? Soft latte colored paint brought the piece into a more current state and an extra kick of blue around the frame gives the piece a one of a kind look. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtReGeRUztmz5dvVHfKwxp9pTgZKz9p8yYZTsmKdkhWIR-mcCtxzYqJb64UhH5OJF8eakuCnUNCyxM2YpjaDVyPIiQujZyrCD99zBTRlUJ-fwvNUFHQd1WZdj4pOZTRpgajgWohBiq0TM/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-16.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's nothing new, but nailhead trim is something we are loving right now. The detail lends sophistication to casual furniture pieces and it transcends time. Translation? Invest in that nailhead trim sofa or chair. If the upholstery and silhouette are timeless, the nailhead trim won't date the piece anytime soon. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja64nG2I-sR-5oEDHB5essw5i-flSFoOlmSwocbLxhbQlpi1zdxlvrLFWHuxSMrQzsO1MK_0zvH6zerJKm6mN3cbbfTKEWGOviptfbIi2-NBcmbKxOz0fWK87Plbu4o0RUMFQ91xJfoAY/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-17.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Good lighting is essential to any room, but now it can be more stylish, thanks to gorgeously executed fixtures available everywhere, such as at home centers and lighting show rooms. We are especially in love with circular pendants with industrial details, like the brass one over the island in this kitchen. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ml3-wbPP8tmqemUAltudTlkBeHiVaY0qjCoRxLfUliMX7l9tiDMtnqHveycCeTGuJo6KKxL-h5RaHNatZNoyo4NlZR1BoupUGIk6voXGUHIkCQq1A54yF8nE062PsmNAYadiMqlkz4o/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-18.jpg" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ripe with global appeal, block prints offer an exotic edge to any room. Textiles and linens that are block printed by hand can get pricey, but the trend is popping up in more mass made goods, making it more affordable to bring the look home. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>

New Ideas For Storage Solutions By Using Baskets

Baskets are storage workhorses. They provide easy organization solutions plus they're stylish and can add warmth to any room in the house.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWuAPFc3qWmZMu9kgGlRf95khQsLysoSKYc1zQlSpcuu2qPCR845AFE0qTFYodLIont7seNC78wxV0hJaRdyhz0SK72SiGmmjnibYGpLcBqUVt5qE7QvVgzo7NskJmTYMdoPXSSBx6/s640/Storage-Solutions-Using-Baskets-ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Grab a Seat</span> </b></span></div><br />Create an entryway bench from a coffee table, seat cushions, and a catchall basket. Use the basket to collect keys, mail, books, and other items that pile up by the door. The large basket gives the area a polished look without requiring a lot of organization from the homeowners.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiamewfXP9Hkh8xcr24oFxUdfIgfZtKQ6vX2twbtvUgMlHTHSMqjujFWj1ynHG9H_J-HCYkp01igpkv_b59C73ykXp19gluMRPEAcyGkAeGIWvhxb5CHmQr-9StDAtcBolbgDvIwm8M/s640/Storage-Solutions-Using-Baskets-ideas-10.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b> <span class="heading2">Baskets in a Row</span> </b></span></div><br />Open shelves do more than create a fashionable presentation, they also ensure often-used items are easy to access. Identical baskets are perfect for organizing linens and other kitchen items.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivnqM6SxXUBnSt8gcR9C99vSNwVvbG08oI9Sast1mo3l6iadfRkVnCQ4qTxb7ySbI5QOmEsem_6UyYdy1-Xs2OW1kDoxtDQnTdSVfFiw5eWPAgRqJiR_9ibkNO9cCajDcFnY-zhgLC/s640/Storage-Solutions-Using-Baskets-ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Casual Style</span> </b></span></div><br />Woven side chairs, a slipcovered sofa, and crisp white draperies give this living room a casual look. Baskets round out the decor by repeating the texture from the side chairs and bamboo shades. The baskets also add storage to the coffee table.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikVcXkZiglO76HDGzXzSVJRdAT2_uaBpSx3NxjwogBI_d3oL5bwm85-xN-rdGNvH_U_5j1PQJu4dRgylGmQhfJV_7DHwNbOPReZlDQpaLFHeOMmLi9eZ9r6EpVO_u3gZFCvMKKmdZ3/s640/Storage-Solutions-Using-Baskets-ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Underbed Storage</span> </b></span></div><br />Create an instant linen closet with a large woven basket. Stack sheets, pillowcases, and extra blankets in lidded baskets that you can stash under the bed. Prevent scratching floors or snagging carpets by adding stick-on furniture sliders.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlXAiU5KvaOi-h6uc9PC2f3ZO4_r_6J63vIprh47zcf2R8Z0gTCwsRv_YYo4YKnFmMDwr4MPV28nOsV712pu39f039ustB0JkqqelAtc1vNV-thfxhSWU7l5zb-lkPTUNXMPSrUj2G/s640/Storage-Solutions-Using-Baskets-ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Task-It Baskets</span> </b></span></div><br />Organize household files with flair by trading a clunky metal file cabinet for a woven lidded chest. Be sure the basket's inside measurements will fit your letter- or legal-size files. The interior measurement of this chest is 12x12 inches. To securely hang letter or legal-size files inside, add an adjustable hanging file frame from an office supply store.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOtq_R_tbPb73nnVW9wKK2AO0FH2uH7CwKeqBKnNf2Ro8g__KCmKARFhyphenhyphenlenn4Yj26tme9ZuyR5ihq-lKt2BK57vUaIrPdbS4YEkAa0aiUjPApWZu6VSM2BY-SoFBRVPcrdsJ1CGTf/s640/Storage-Solutions-Using-Baskets-ideas-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Control Station</span></b></span></div><br />Corral coffee table runaways with a basket organizer. This simple basket is stylish enough to sit out on the table and it keeps everything in one spot so when you want to change the channel, you'll always know where to find the remote. Look for a basket with compartments, like a utensil organizing basket.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO39Vx7BjRPRYSanEmdUxmFJ9GUkKEGZQOMN_A5EBxMYGZ1PmpAcyiukSWrugBGjwZTpUrQbhryvLOEbtkAbpSZpyLkiXTMckokrRA4H6fo6ij8SDk5Tz5-rS-2Y_5bdazRicKr-B0/s640/Storage-Solutions-Using-Baskets-ideas-12.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Kitchen Counter Basket</span></b></span></div><br />Use a shallow basket to organize cooking oils and spices. Line the bottom of the basket with a metal cookie sheet to making cleaning up inevitable spills easier<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg44V3b_EDMYxMqpnv3glIrrUll7NTURzbXOJwZqWkbeLegKKO56V7EdWziWKn0Y19ng6BN88hy3UbK2HxqVklS0Oc8SafXGb0_z2S8mvweO6q9m66Xt-9McD5-t872sQAtTyh58c2m/s640/Storage-Solutions-Using-Baskets-ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b> <span class="heading2">Kitchen Helper</span> </b></span></div><br />Baskets can be helpful for organizing kitchen supplies. Place a basket with handles on a pull-out drawer for easy access to contents. Use one basket for different kinds of tea and another for baking supplies.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4eC080odYYpI6jZzFui9bCUuzzMBcYO9P0yzBaWpl5CZ4Wl-WruCq-USKrh0M95vuDfpEy4-yvBeaYc_0tPzp_joQGEsyrskDWOy0RbPqrMr1F_WNYYeVk0ENGrSU_PO1rmezmD0e/s640/Storage-Solutions-Using-Baskets-ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Wall Decor</span> </b></span></div><br />Baskets can be part of your wall decor. In this bathroom, a wire basket adds architectural interest and towel storage above the toilet.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-Rw0atZOOo8IiAsz3xZq8xpYq7YFoS3K_G-yOXTy6-Upxpun3Tbp_QTFS8YCH_2skVAA1tEpL8ZE_bNVUx34vxOqyZLVgcLqH3jkrkfRn9ffQBVSOBH5H3dbMaE_SEJ7wgv6bqfat/s640/Storage-Solutions-Using-Baskets-ideas.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Storage Meets Decor</span></b></span></div><br />In the bathroom, storage solutions are often part of the display. Matching woven white baskets hold supplies and coordinate with the bathroom's color palette. X-shape open shelves and glass-front cabinet doors add architectural interest to the vertical storage.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNHrglOLhTh8hfqxqgcM_3ja67xBKmwiaG1DwQJpTvhbVdmrwpC_Iem-R2vldZecqTYlk26fd0MLkZ-yFCKNKUcm2K7oTERkEHkqM_uKRBkWqevzBEBSUZxb6uMo67PmN9o9yIh77t/s640/Storage-Solutions-Using-Baskets-ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Tidy Shelves</span></b></span></div><br />Keep your bookshelves in check with baskets and bins. Use baskets to corral loose items, such as fabric samples, paint swatches, and project folders. Add labels to each basket to identify its contents and give your shelves more personality. To make labels, attach gift tags to each basket with ribbon and use rub-on alphabet decals.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBIsTUDOYJdqJ-DzC6whjKla3ntBjyCHKjTk0UbGP3S9E0N2baoOtWNavMKnPn1x73toQ_-DXix8FIji4TYAEgrU5pSjJAMF-_BUfm3dRLnqO6L47HArFIXanNnPfLOX_vMX82d9RM/s640/Storage-Solutions-Using-Baskets-ideas-11.jpg" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Hamper Basket</span></b></span></div><br />Does throwing bed pillows on the floor every night make you cringe? Toss pillows in a wicker hamper at bedtime to help keep them clean and off the floor.
