A basket for dirty laundry is, of course, not the most necessary thing for your home, but still necessary and useful. It is designed to make life easier, provide a place to store clothes and linen that need washing, help carry them when the washing machine is in another room. Do not forget about aesthetics, because there are things that should not be visible, especially if strangers are at home.
The bathroom laundry basket is usually selected according to the design of the room. The second fundamental point is functionality. A container for dirty laundry should not only organically and whenever possible imperceptibly fit into the interior, but also be convenient and practical. For this, the laundry basket in the bathroom, as a rule, has two important qualities: breathability and protection against moisture. For free air circulation, containers are made with a large number of holes. In order to avoid water from entering the laundry basket, a continuous lid and a bottom are provided. Important: innovative design decisions should not be at the expense of these qualities, so, first of all, pay attention to functionality. Otherwise, things and clothes may be damaged.
The laundry basket in the bathroom should be practical and convenient. These qualities depend on two factors: the shape and design of the container, the type of material from which it is made. By design, there can be an ordinary laundry basket in the bathroom or folding. The latter is most often used when the capacity is not used every day, or when it is in the kitchen or in the corridor. Both ordinary and folding baskets are sometimes added mobility with the help of rollers (as a rule, such rollers are found in heavy metal containers). There is a third option - a hanging basket. In appearance, it rather resembles a giant fire detector. This market novelty has not yet become widespread, but who knows, maybe the future lies with it.
Still containers are divided according to the type of loading of linen (like washing machines) into frontal and vertical. The shape of the basket can be any: round, semicircular, square, rectangular, angular. There are very interesting and original designs, for example, a basket in the form of a toothy shark, a bear, an Egyptian pyramid, an elegant flower basket, there are a lot of options.
The laundry basket in the bathroom can be made of various materials. Plastic containers were most widely used, and this is not surprising. They are light, wash well, and the price is quite affordable, you can buy them at any plumbing or plastic packaging store for 300-350 rubles. But you can not limit yourself only to products from cheap artificial polymers. The laundry basket in the bathroom can be made of natural bamboo (wicker baskets), wood, aluminum, stainless steel (from a whole sheet or woven from wire, sometimes galvanized or chrome) and even leather.
That's all the main types of laundry baskets. Choose the capacity for your home that will most fully meet your conditions: interior, functionality, practicality and, of course, the required capacity.
