- 1). Customize baskets in every room of your home by liner style to match your decor or basket type. Liner styles include ruffled liners that fit along basket edges or stand upright, styles for baskets with or without handles with buttons or snaps to enclose handled baskets, non-ruffled styles that fit along edges, draw-string styles and styles with corded piping and others.
- 2). Add liners to fruit or bread baskets. Fabric liners not only compliment kitchen or dining room decor, but can protect the weave of your baskets from stains and catch bread crumbs, as certain basket types such as non-lacquered wood or wicker can stain easily.
- 3). Swap plain interchangeable liners in baskets around your home for ones with holiday patterns to capture the spirit of any given holiday. Holiday patterned liners not only create a more festive atmosphere during holiday meals but also highlight holiday ornaments, decorations or other objects.
- 4). Organize your baskets by clothing color and/or type to matching liner in the laundry to keep dark colored liners from staining light clothing. (For example, use a basket with a tan or dark liner for dark clothes and a basket with a white liner for light clothes.) In addition, using liners in woven baskets in the laundry protects clothing from snagging or tearing on wicker.
- 5). Use baskets with removable, drawstring and/or plastic liners in your baby's bedroom. Keep in mind that these types of liners not only make cleanup faster and hygienic by protecting your baskets from soiled diapers/clothing and the germs they contain, but the also help to reduce dust through quick removal and replacement. Baskets with patterned liners in the baby's bedroom can also change the look and feel of the room. For example, use night sky-patterned liners or liners with teddy bear patterns.
- 6). Place thick fabric liners in metal rack style drawer baskets to reduce wrinkling or bunching of clothing from drawer baskets that have semi-open bottoms.
