Everything You Need To Know To Find The Best Custom Wicker Laundry Basket

I find so much joy in cleaning my house. I really do. We have a cleaning service that comes once a week to do the deep cleaning, but the day-to-day is one of my favorite things, and sometimes as a treat, Chris will take the girls out of the house so I can clean uninterrupted. Bliss!! The only exception to this has always been laundry. The biggest ever-present thorn in my side&#;LAUNDRY!

So when we set out to renovate our laundry room, I knew I wanted it to be a place I could find happiness in. I wanted to fall in love with the chore. My surroundings definitely impact me, so the idea of making the laundry room a place I'd like to hang out in was high on the priority list. Plenty of storage, space, and light, and, hey, let's double the machines, so it all goes by faster.

Because here's the thing--I've tried every laundry schedule out there. Put a load in the morning, and put it away before bed. Doing each person's a different day (did this one for years). But with double machines, the schedule that works for me most is having a laundry day and making it an event!

Save a few podcasts, light the candle in the laundry room, making the announcement--"It's laundry day! Everyone get their clothes in!" I like to do it on Tuesdays because I work from home that day, and it frees up the weekend. I'm swapping the clothes from washer to dryer for most of the day, and by the time the girls get home from school, they're in charge of putting their folded clothes away. It works beautifully, and I actually don't hate laundry anymore. I kind of like it. :)

The rolling laundry baskets in the laundry room have been so incredible I've been thinking of getting more for the girls' rooms so that they rotate in and out. Currently, each of their rooms has these nice hamper baskets (we've had them for years!), and they're really beautiful. But they're really heavy. I like that they double as decor. Right now, I go to each room with a rolling bin and pick up the clothes (I don't mix the girls' clothes in the wash, so it's a straight-forward in and out and on to the next) and roll it to the laundry room and then back when I'm finished.

If you don't have a rolling bin, I highly recommend incorporating one into your laundry system. It has made the process, dare I say...fun? Fun! I rounded up a bunch of cute laundry baskets and rolling ones below! Number 13 has me drooling.

Information on Measuring

When working out the size you&#;ll need for your baskets, we recommend allowing 2cm on the width.  The height and depth is up to you, but you&#;ll need at least 1cm clearance for the height.  For the depth you may also want to allow 1cm so that you have the option of sitting the baskets slightly back from the front edge.

As basketmaking is a hand craft using natural materials that have variation in thickness, we cannot always achieve exact measurements.  We take the size given as the maximum external top measurements and aim to get as close as we can without exceeding them.  As a result your baskets may be slightly smaller, but should never be bigger.

Please give Alison a call on if you need any further information, or help.  Customers often photographs of the unit, or the room the baskets will go into and using this we can give advice as to the border or colours to go for, or any other help or advice that you may find useful.
