There is a bathroom in every apartment. There we store personal hygiene items and install washing machines, if space permits. An important and necessary bathroom accessory is also a laundry basket, which stores dirty laundry.
A laundry basket today is not only a practical device, but also one of the elements of the bathroom interior, without which the room will have an unfinished look. Therefore, when choosing a laundry basket, it is necessary to be guided not only by its functional properties, but also by aesthetic considerations.
When choosing a laundry basket, pay attention to the material from which it is made. The material must be strong, durable, practical, non-toxic, and also suitable for rooms with high humidity.
The laundry basket must be of a suitable shape and comfortable enough to use.
The basket should be designed to fit perfectly in the bathroom.
A laundry basket, whatever its shape, must be ergonomic. It should take up a minimum of free space so as not to interfere with the intended use of the bathroom.
The laundry basket must have openings through which the entire contents of the basket will be ventilated. It must be equipped with a lid, and also covered with a special water-repellent agent or paint that will not leave stains on the laundry.
Laundry baskets can be collapsible or stationary. Stationary baskets, as a rule, are located next to the washing machine in the bathroom, near the bath or under the wall of the shower stall.
If the machine is installed in the kitchen, it is better to purchase a folding basket with handles, which will allow you to transfer it to the desired location.
Wall-mounted laundry baskets are very practical. They do not take up floor space or stand underfoot. Wall baskets are in the shape of a sack, bag, box or small wicker chest. The baskets have a stylish design and fit perfectly into any interior.
Built-in laundry baskets are cabinets, pencil cases and shelves under the bathroom. These baskets are almost invisible and do not take up much free space. But they are all of the same type and do not stand out in any way. Therefore, it will not work to decorate the bathroom interior with such a basket.
Laundry baskets differ in a variety of shapes, colors and materials of manufacture.
The narrow linen basket designs fit perfectly into small apartments and are suitable for small families. The basket is functional enough and does not take up a lot of free space. A narrow basket belongs to the style of minimalism, it looks very advantageous when surrounded by similar elements. In the space of a large room, a narrow basket looks out of place.
Corner laundry baskets are also used in small spaces where it is important to keep every inch of free space. This basket is ideal for small spaces.
Wooden laundry baskets are classics, blend in well with bathroom décor and maintain a warm, homely atmosphere. When choosing a wooden basket, it is necessary to clarify whether it has been treated with a special agent that repels moisture. If not, then over time, the basket can become limp, change shape and even start to rot.
Wicker laundry baskets are the most optimal and popular choice in our time. There are a lot of wicker baskets in the consumer market. When choosing such a model, you need to pay attention to the quality of the material, weaving and connection of parts of the basket.It should be strong, not bend or fall apart when pressed, and it should not be too light.
The wicker basket is perfectly combined and in maximum harmony with other bathroom accessories thanks to various patterns, weaving techniques, material of manufacture and its appearance.
Plastic laundry baskets are a versatile and common type of basket. They are distinguished by their special strength, durability, practicality, color variety and relatively low cost. Many plastic models have fully removable covers or special hinged mechanisms. For ventilation, there are original openings in the form of various patterns that make the basket interesting and attractive.
Most baskets fill from the top, through the lid, but for a small bathroom you can use the under-sink basket that doesn't take up much space. The basket lid is located on the side, like in a conventional washing machine. This is a very convenient and compact version of the basket.
Metal laundry baskets are typical representatives of modern minimalism or high-tech style. They are suitable for the bathrooms of country cottages, country houses or hunting lodges, where they colorfully fit into the interior and occupy their niche in it.
These laundry baskets can last forever if they have a special protective layer. Otherwise, the original and exclusive product may corrode and gradually lose its original appearance.
Fabric laundry baskets are an ultramodern and very fashionable bathroom accessory these days. It is, as a rule, chosen by advanced fashionistas and young people who do not care about the functionality and quality of the product, but only its external design.
Fabric baskets have a very decent appearance, but if they are made of poor quality, they will collect the moisture of the bathroom, acquiring an unpleasant odor, and subsequently become a place for the formation of fungi and mold.
Fabric baskets are most often in the form of a drawstring bag or clamshell, which is more convenient, practical and ergonomic for the bathroom.
Leather laundry baskets are always solid, stylish and sophisticated.
A leather basket is more often used as a decor to give more gloss to the bathroom.
When choosing a laundry basket, remember that in color it must be combined with the interior of the bathroom and the available accessories. Everything should look stylish, harmonious, spectacular and cozy at home.
The cost of laundry baskets directly depends on the material of manufacture and the developed unusual design. Remember that beautiful is not always of high quality, therefore, when choosing a laundry basket, be sure to pay attention to the workmanship of the proposed product.
