Laundry Baskets by Material and Size
Most laundry baskets are an afterthought and it shows. A flimsy plastic tub shoved behind a door, or a wicker thing that snags fabric and falls apart within a year. The laundry basket is actually one of the hardest working pieces in the house and it deserves the same consideration as anything else you choose for a room. We've organised this collection by material and size because those two things determine everything. A seagrass basket works beautifully in a bright bathroom but struggles in damp conditions over time. A large canvas bag suits a family bedroom. A slim woven cylinder fits a narrow alcove without crowding it. Cotton, rattan, water hyacinth, linen, coated wire: each has its place and its honest limitations and we've noted both. Size matters more than people expect too. Too small and it becomes useless within two days. These are the ones we'd actually put in our own homes, chosen by how they perform and how they look doing it.
