Why the Right Basket Makes Doing Laundry Less of a Chore: Romanticising Daily Tasks with Luxury Details

If there’s one household task we all share, it’s laundry. It’s not glamorous, it’s not exciting, but it is part of everyday life. At Basketly, we believe even the most ordinary routines deserve to be beautiful. That’s where our Rattan Oval Laundry Basket comes in: a piece that transforms a chore into a small ritual of style and simplicity.

Handwoven from natural rattan, this basket is more than a container for clothes; it’s an object of design. Its warm tones and organic texture make it feel like part of your home, not something to hide away.

Here are some of my favourite ways the Oval Laundry Basket elevates daily life:

The Bathroom Statement
Instead of plastic hampers that quickly become eyesores, place the Oval Basket in your bathroom corner. Its timeless oval shape and woven texture add warmth and character, turning a practical necessity into a styled detail.

Sorting Made Simple
With Medium and Large sizes available, I like to use one basket for clothing and another for linens or towels. It makes the post-laundry fold and put-away much easier, and the symmetry of two matching baskets side by side always feels intentional.

Beyond Laundry
One of the joys of this basket is its versatility. I’ve seen it used in a child’s room for toy storage, in a guest room to hold extra blankets, or even in the living room filled with oversized cushions. It’s proof that function and beauty don’t need to be separate.

 

The Little Details
With low-profile handles and a lightweight design, it’s easy to carry from room to room, even when full. And for me, that moment of stepping into the sunshine with a basket of clean clothes feels instantly more romantic with rattan in hand.

Laundry will never go away. But with the right basket, it becomes less about the task and more about the feeling, the quiet beauty of weaving design into daily life.
