Laundry baskets are one of the most practical tools in your home. We use them every day so why not choose a beautiful one?
Whether you're looking for the rustic charm of a wicker laundry basket or the added convenience of a laundry basket with handles, we have the perfect solution to elevate your laundry routine.
Wicker washing baskets add a touch of natural elegance to your space. Crafted from high-quality materials and built to withstand daily use, our laundry baskets combine functionality with timeless design, making them essential additions to any home.
When choosing the right laundry basket for you and your home, there are several factors to consider.
Quality: Look for a laundry basket made from high-quality wicker or rattan materials. Opt for tightly woven baskets with sturdy construction to ensure durability and longevity. All of our baskets have been sourced from trusted suppliers ensuring our washing baskets are always of a trusted quality.
Aesthetics: Consider the look and feel of the basket to ensure it complements your home decor. Rattan laundry baskets are ideal for a more refined style. If you’re looking for something with more of a relaxed feel then perhaps a wicker laundry basket is a better fit for you. Both rattan and wicker are well suited for many home interior styles, from relaxed coastal to more traditionally styled homes.
Size and Capacity: Think about the size and capacity of the laundry basket. What do you need from this basket? Is it only going to be used to transport one load of laundry from the machine to the washing line or are you looking for something to be used as a laundry hamper? Choose a basket large enough to hold your typical laundry load but not so large that it overwhelms the room.
Handles: Laundry baskets with handles are ideal for easy transportation to and from the washing machine. Opt for sturdy handles that are securely attached or oven into to the basket for added convenience and durability.
A Lid: Consider whether you prefer a laundry basket with a lid or an open-top design.
A basket with a lid helps conceal dirty laundry and contain odours, while an open-top design allows for easy access and ventilation.
Stability: Choose a laundry basket with a stable base to prevent tipping or wobbling when filled with laundry. Opt for baskets with wide, flat bottoms or reinforced bases for added stability.
Rattan has a sleek, high-end look compared to its more rustic wicker counterpart. The natural aesthetic of rattan is very popular in homes with a coastal-inspired interior. If you’re looking to add a little of the Hamptons Style to your laundry then a rattan basket is the one for you. Available in both brown and whitewash to suit your personal style.
The woven design allows for ample ventilation, helping to prevent musty odours and mildew from developing on damp clothes.
As rattan is lightweight these baskets are easy to move around, especially our laundry baskets with handles! This little feature makes such a difference for day-to-day use.
Rattan baskets are very versatile. If you’re short on space these baskets can also be used for general storage when not being used for washing.
Dust the basket regularly with a soft-bristled brush or a dry cloth to remove any dirt or dust. This helps prevent dirt from building up and keeps the basket looking clean and fresh.
Wicker is susceptible to damage from moisture, so it's important to keep wicker laundry baskets dry at all times. Avoid placing wet items directly into the basket, and keep the basket away from areas of high humidity. If you want to keep your basket in a bathroom or laundry periodically rotate and air out your baskets to allow it to breathe and prevent moisture buildup. If possible, remove the baskets from the laundry room and place them in a well-ventilated area overnight to dry completely.
