Basket for laundry in the bathroom: types and features

A basket for dirty laundry is certainly not the most necessary thing for your home, but still necessary and useful. It is designed to facilitate everyday life, provide a place for storing clothes and laundry, needing washing, help to carry them if the washing machine is in another room. Do not forget about aesthetics, because there are things that should not be in sight, especially if there are strangers at home.

The basket for bathroom linen is usually selected taking into account the design of the room. The second fundamental moment is functionality. The container for dirty linen should not only be organically and whenever possible imperceptibly fit into the interior, but also be comfortable and practical. To do this, the laundry basket in the bathroom, as a rule, has two important qualities: air permeability and protection against moisture ingress. For the free circulation of air, the containers are made with a large number of openings. In order to avoid getting water in the laundry basket, there is a solid cover and a bottom. Important: innovative design solutions should not be at the expense of these qualities, so, first of all, pay attention to the functionality. Otherwise, you can spoil things and clothes.

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 conventional and folding baskets are sometimes added by means of rollers (as a rule, such rollers are found in heavy metal containers). There is also a third option - a hanging basket. In appearance, it rather resembles a giant fire detector. This novelty of the market has not yet gained wide distribution, but who knows, maybe the future is just behind it.

Another capacity is divided by the type of loading of laundry (like washing machines) to the front 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 from various materials. The largest distribution was plastic containers, and this is not surprising. They are light, well washed, and the price is quite affordable, they can be bought in any sanitary ware shop or plastic packaging for 300-350 rubles. But you can not limit yourself to only products made from cheap artificial polymers. The laundry basket in the bathroom can be made of natural bamboo (wicker baskets), wood, aluminum, stainless steel (made from whole sheet or woven from wire, sometimes galvanized or chrome plated) and even leather.

That's all the main types of laundry baskets. Choose for your home the capacity that will most fully meet your conditions: interior, functionality, practicality and, of course, the required capacity.
