Learn how to safely mount an Arch Rattan Ladder for blanket storage. Step-by-step instructions for wall prep, hardware, and styling tips.

Quick answer

Mount your Arch Rattan Ladder securely with two heavy-duty wall anchors and screws, positioned at the ladder's top rungs, to create a stable and stylish blanket storage solution.

Why use a rattan ladder for blanket storage?

A rattan ladder is a space-saving alternative to a bulky blanket chest. It keeps throws visible and within reach while adding a natural, boho accent to any room. The Arch Rattan Ladder's curved top and lightweight rattan frame make it easy to mount and style.

Important trade-offs

Unlike a leaning ladder, a mounted ladder requires a permanent wall fixture. You'll need to locate studs or use strong wall anchors for drywall. The ladder's open rungs mean blankets will be on display, so consider a tidy fold if you prefer a minimalist look.

Step-by-step hanging guide

Choose the mounting location: Select a wall area at least 24 inches wide and 70 inches tall to accommodate the ladder and blanket drape. Mark the ladder's top rung positions at the height you want. Make sure the ladder is level and centered on the wall before marking.
Install wall anchors or find studs: Use a stud finder to locate wooden studs behind the drywall. If no stud aligns with your marks, install two heavy-duty toggle bolts or expansion anchors rated for at least 20 pounds each. Never rely on drywall alone—rattan ladders are lightweight but blankets add weight.
Attach mounting brackets or hooks: Screw two L-brackets or heavy-duty cup hooks into the anchors or studs, spaced 16 inches apart (matching the ladder's width). Leave the hooks facing upward to cradle the ladder's top rungs. Check that the brackets are flush against the wall and level before tightening.
Hang the ladder: Lift the Arch Rattan Ladder and rest its top rungs onto the brackets. Gently push the ladder against the wall to ensure it sits securely. Test stability by tugging downward on each side. If the ladder wobbles, adjust bracket spacing or add a third bracket at the center bottom rung for extra support.
Style with blankets: Fold or drape your blankets over the rungs, alternating colors and textures. For a tidy look, fold each blanket into a rectangle and drape it over one rung. For a casual boho vibe, let the ends hang unevenly. Rotate blankets seasonally to keep the display fresh and reduce wear on the rattan.
