10 of the Best Laundry Baskets for the Bedroom, Bathroom, or Utility


the best modern stylish laundry basket

After a recent hunt for a stylish, sturdy and affordable laundry basket for my home, I discovered that finding a modern washing bin for a bedroom, bathroom or utility was harder work than I imagined. There are lots of dirty laundry storage bins out there, but many are of poor quality (or they cost a significant amount of money). Refusing to part with £200 to gain a laundry basket that wouldn’t fall apart in five minutes, here are ten of the best contemporary laundry baskets that I found online:

Each Wovens Laundry Basket from Loaf is handmade from natural seagrass by artisans. It’s available in three colourways, but the modern tan shade of ‘Dried Clay’ is my favourite. £70 each.
