Purple Star emoji 10 items
The laundry chair deserves a retirement plan. 🤍 I’ve picked UK hampers that can sit happily in a bedroom or bathroom: pale wicker for a narrow gap, a bamboo sorter for lights and darks, soft fabric and roomier woven baskets. Choose by the space and ...

Slim Fits, Sorters & Soft Fabrics

For the awkward gap, a sorter that does the work, or a soft fabric hamper you can leave in the bedroom. Measure first; these solve quite different spaces.

Only 20cm deep, so this is the one to measure up for a narrow gap. The pale woven finish looks softer than plastic, while the lid hides the washing.

For anyone who would rather sort as they go. Two fabric compartments separate lights and darks, with a useful shelf above; allow 64cm of width for this one.

The frilled lid and stripes make laundry storage feel unexpectedly pretty. This lightweight hamper folds away when empty—a useful choice if you move rooms or flats.

The cream bouclé and oval shape feel more like a bedroom accessory than a laundry bin. Best kept in a dry spot: this is fabric over a cardboard structure.

A patterned option for the awkward gap beside a cupboard. At 20cm wide it saves floor space, and folds away when empty; choose this for a smaller laundry load.

Woven, Roomy & Easy-Clean Hampers

For a roomier corner: bamboo, wicker and seagrass that look at home in the room, plus an easy-clean rattan-effect option for a busier bathroom.

For a roomier corner, the bamboo slats and fabric liner feel warmer than a standard laundry bin. The lid is hinged, which is handy, but allow 44 × 35cm of floor space and keep it off wet surfaces.
Woodford Bamboo Large Laundry Hamper

A classic rush-woven basket with a lid, for when the laundry has to sit in plain sight. The round 40cm footprint is easier to place than a wide sorter; wipe clean rather than soaking the fibres.
Natural Wicker Laundry Basket

The gingham liner is the detail that makes this wicker hamper feel at home in a bedroom. It has a fitted lid and a 40 × 30cm footprint; the liner comes out when it needs a refresh.

If woven natural fibres are not practical in a busy bathroom, this is the easier-clean alternative. The rattan effect still looks soft, while its 40L capacity and 26.5cm width work in a tighter gap.
Addis Rattan Slim 40L Laundry Basket

For a room that needs a little colour, the woven rainbow bands feel cheerful without leaving laundry on show. The lid and side handles are useful, but at 45cm across it needs a generous corner.
