In the bathroom

The most traditional and familiar option for storing a container for dirty laundry. To make a free-standing basket an interior decoration, choose a product made of natural wicker, metal or thick fabric instead of plastic.

If one or two people live in the apartment, consider the option of a hanging basket-bag, which can be attached to the wall, door or side of the cabinet.

If you are going to update the bathroom or buy new furniture, pay attention to solid countertops: usually a sink is mounted on them, and a washing machine, cabinets and a basket for dirty laundry are placed below. This option not only saves space, but also makes the design of the room complete.

In the dressing room

If you are the happy owner of even a small dressing room, you are in luck: this is a convenient place to store a basket, and even more than one. You can build in containers for white, black and colored linen even at the stage of planning the interior filling. Pull-out systems are the most functional solution. Unlike a cramped closet, a dressing room has excellent air circulation, and linen does not stagnate or smell.

A basket placed separately will look no less attractive – the main thing is to choose a container that is the right size. This arrangement is also suitable for the pantry.

In the living room

Perhaps you have noticed that characters from foreign TV series often use a laundry basket located right in the living room. Usually, this is a wicker product made of vines – thanks to the natural material and natural ventilation, the musty smell does not appear. When choosing a container, give preference to a basket with a lid: this way the sight of dirty laundry will not irritate.

This option is not suitable for owners of an interior in the hi-tech or neoclassical style – a wicker product, despite its attractiveness, will not fit into an emphatically modern and expensive setting. For country, loft, eco and Scandinavian styles, this option is ideal.

In the nightstand

If you supporter of minimalism, then a basket with dirty laundry, like any unsightly things, can be hidden behind laconic facades. When arranging a bathroom, consider furniture with a pull-out drawer in advance. A wire container inside it will not allow things to lie around.

An excellent option is a roll-out drawer with several compartments for sorting clothes. Pros:

  • things are hidden from prying eyes;
  • the decor looks neat;
  • it is convenient to fold and take out linen.

There is only one minus – such furniture will require thoughtfulness and financial investment.

On the loggia

Another interesting and practical option for placing a laundry basket is a glazed and insulated balcony. If the apartment is small, a container placed outside the living space will not interfere.

A good option for those who often have to wash, dry and iron clothes is to arrange a utility room on the loggia. Here the location of the basket will be the most logical.

Consider the option of a ready-made basket with a wall mount, which will not take up much space.

In the modern world, where most interior solutions are focused on convenience, the laundry basket has ceased to be a purely utilitarian element of everyday life. It can become the highlight of the decor, or, in other cases, become an inconspicuous detail that does not disrupt the overall image of the room.
