An ideal option when you\u2019re looking for small parts\nstorage, wire baskets can be used in a number of ways without taking up a lot\nof space. Wire storage baskets<\/a> can be used to declutter\nyour home, organise a range of different items and, if you decide to decorate\nthem or go for a rustic feel in your home, you don\u2019t need to be restricted to\nusing them in your shed or garage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From utilising these clever space-shaving items in your bathroom for holding grooming items and cosmetics to helping to organise a cluttered kitchen pantry, wire storage baskets can be used all over the home, typically fixed to walls or pieces of furniture to provide much needed additional storage without unnecessarily taking up space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to hang\nbaskets on a wall for storage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By using wire baskets, you\u2019re choosing an item that can\nbe presented and utilised in a number of different ways depending on your\nneeds. Not only does this mean that they can be attached to hooks and\npre-installed nails in your home, but if you want easier access to the items in\nyour basket, you could hang baskets sideways, so the items rest on one of the\ninside walls of the basket. This pigeonhole style of storage is particularly\npopular in more rural interiors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, if you don\u2019t have a preexisting area to\nhang your wire baskets or simply want to hang them in a new spot, you\u2019ll need\nto go to extra lengths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions for hanging wire baskets on a wall are as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Work\nout exactly where you want your basket to go, using it as a ruler to mark two\nequally spaced dots with a pencil at the top of where you want it to sit.<\/li>
  • Before\ndoing anything else, use a spirit level to check that it\u2019s level and a live\nwire detector to ensure that the wall you\u2019ll be drilling into is safe.<\/li>
  • After\nremoving the basket and any other obstructions, begin to carefully drill holes\ninto the dots using an electric drill.<\/li>
  • Insert\nwall anchors into the holes for extra grip and gently tap them with a hammer\nuntil they\u2019re completely flat.<\/li>
  • Hold\nup the basket over the two holes in the wall, checking that they\u2019re showing\nthrough the holes in the basket that you\u2019d originally planned for.<\/li>
  • Attach\nthe basket to the wall by twisting screws into the holes, keeping a metal\nwasher in between for extra support between the basket and the wall.<\/li>
  • Although\nthis should be enough to hold the basket off, you can choose to repeat this\nprocess at the bottom of the basket if you want it to be more secure.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
