Using baskets as planters make for a stunning decorative feature to house a gorgeous tree. Baskets are lighter than typical planters, making it easy to move from room to room. Consider using larger baskets for floor plants and smaller ones for tabletop arrangements.

Woven baskets complement the natural elements of plants, creating a harmonious and organic look.
