Shelf LIFE

A built-in shelving unit in Kimberly’s she shed is an ideal spot to showcase her basket collection to its finest. The airy arrangement allows the intricate details and weaves of each design to stand out from the others and invites deeper appreciation. Here’s how you can achieve the look in four easy steps:

1. SPACE. Place a single basket in each opening of a cubby-style shelf. If the basket is rectangular in shape, keep the longer side on view to expose more of the craftwork.

2. FOCUS. Create a focal point in the center of the unit with contrasting pieces. Kimberly chose weathered stick flags and a folk-art horse.

3. VARIETY. Enliven the scene by including a few small unrelated accents, like Kimberly’s petite artwork hung on the front edge of her shelf.

4. VIEW. Pull up a cushioned chair so you can settle in and enjoy your collection.
