Wall Décor 101: Baskets, Textures & Art That Tell a Story

Wall décor is often the last thing people add to a room — and the thing that makes it feel finished. You don't need a full gallery wall to make an impact; you need the right piece for the right wall.

Woven Baskets: Texture Without Clutter
Handwoven wall baskets add dimension and warmth to a flat wall without needing frames, nails at precise heights, or a matched set. Griham's Wall Décor collection (link to: https://www.griham.ca/collections/wall-decor) includes pieces sized for anything from a small hallway to a large living room feature wall.

Where Baskets Work Best
Above a sofa, along a staircase, or on an entryway wall — anywhere that needs warmth but not another framed photo. Baskets also hide wall imperfections better than flat art, since the texture itself draws the eye.

Balancing Scale
One larger piece usually reads better than several small ones scattered without a plan. If you're using multiple baskets, keep them varied in size but consistent in tone so the arrangement feels considered rather than random.

Tying the Room Together
Wall décor is the easiest place to echo a color or pattern used elsewhere in the room — a curtain print, a cushion cover, a table runner.

Every piece is handwoven by local artisans — read more about the people behind them on our About Us (link to: https://www.griham.ca/pages/about-us) page.
