Wicker is used in many homes nowadays, whether as furniture, wall décor, or storage solutions, because of its uniqueness, versatility, and functionality. It goes well with anything from traditional to contemporary styles and it’s popular in different kinds of interior décor such as coastal, bohemian, Hamptons, and modern farmhouse. Material used for wicker can be bamboo, reed, or rattan.
Did you know that wicker baskets have been used as far back as Ancient Egypt? Since then, wicker baskets have evolved, and even today can be used for many purposes and are suitable practically anywhere in your house.
In this post, you’ll find inspiration how wicker can enhance the beauty of your home.
1. Make a stylish wicker console table
I would say that a wicker console table is a lovely way to decorate a space. Whether it’s located at the entry way, in the living room, or anywhere else in your home, a great way to decorate your wicker console is to add books, a lamp, a vase, and nice mementos.

Plants and flowers are instant hits when it comes to refreshing your home, enhancing your mood, and reducing stress. Give your plants a home with these adorable wicker baskets. For live indoor plants, you need to set the plant in a pot before placing it inside a wicker basket. Try pothos plants, Sansevieria, philodendron, and cacti because they’re relatively low-maintenance.

11. Go natural with a wicker ottoman or pouf
Instead of a wood, glass, or marble coffee table, a beautiful wicker pouf or ottoman will give a chic twist to your living room or bedroom. It provides an extra spot to serve food and drinks or to put your feet up while enjoying your favorite TV series.
In choosing a wicker pouf or ottoman, consider the height of the ottoman in comparison with the other furniture. It is recommended to have your ottoman lower than your sofa or chairs. The height of the ottoman should be around 2.5 cm less than your sofa and chairs. This will create an aesthetic balance in to the space. Not only that, most wicker ottomans also have a built-in storage space! A pouf can also function as an extra seating when you have limited space.
To enhance the look of your wall, hang assorted flat wicker baskets like what Rachel Moore from Pinterestingplans did in this lovely white and gray modern coastal living room.
