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

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.

This Anastasia Log / Linen basket from Anbôise is a fairtrade product - it’s manufactured by marginalised communities in Bangladesh out of a locally sourced seagrass called Hogla.

Super stylish and modern, this fold-away wood, metal and cotton laundry basket from Zara Home is great value at just £39.99. The cotton lining can also be washed if required before being stored.

Separating your light-coloured clothes from your darks can take up valuable time; plan ahead with this darks/lights bin from Wayfair in an on-trend fluted wood design.

For a robust seagrass laundry basket at a lower price than can be found in other stores, B&Q offer this white Bonetta Seagrass laundry bin as part of their GoodHome collection for £38.

The green Aztec pattern on this bamboo laundry basket from Oliver Bonas makes it a good option if you prefer to always have a bit of colour or pattern in your home. £59.50.

With its foldable design, cotton body, powder-coated iron frame and brass detailing, this washing basket from leading Danish design brand Ferm Living makes for an elegant addition to any bathroom, bedroom or utility. Available via Selfridges for £135.

If a laundry basket made from bamboo or seagrass isn’t your style, this 90L separation bin in Ecru from Joseph Joseph comes in 3 neutral fabric tones. Get it cheapest via Amazon.
