Quiet Town’s Canvas Laundry Hamper in pine brings a little more personality to laundry day. iIts rich green hue offers a welcome departure from the usual lineup of beige and gray laundry baskets. Double-sided organic cotton canvas and an interior layer of interfacing help the hamper hold its cylindrical shape, even when it isn’t overflowing with dirty laundry. The brand mentions that it’s easy to clean; a quick wipe with a damp cloth is all it needs to stay looking fresh.

Society Limonta Isacco Laundry Basket

Designed by Dario Antoniali for Italian textile brand Society Limonta, the Isacco Laundry Basket makes sorting your lights and darks dare we say… fun? Its slender iron frame supports a stretchy nylon bag that changes shape as it fills, giving it a sculptural quality that feels more like contemporary furniture than a household necessity. Two separate openings make it easy to sort clothes as you go, while the machine-washable fabric keeps maintenance simple. It’s a clever alternative to traditional divided hampers or having multiple laundry baskets.

Leave it to Yamazaki Home to make even dirty laundry look organized. The Japanese home goods brand’s take on the rolling laundry hamper has a tall, open metal frame silhouette that’s refreshingly minimal. Its built-in handle and wheels make transporting heavy loads far less annoying, and the deep basket comes in handy for anyone whose laundry pile seems to multiply overnight. There’s no removable bag or liner to wash or fuss with either.

West Elm Jasper Wood Lidded Basket

This is the best laundry basket in terms of its ability to cameo as something other than a laundry basket. In fact, we’re tempted to use it as an impromptu side table, thanks to the smooth and sturdy wooden lid.
