Trend Alert: Canvas Laundry Baskets

Laundry baskets have evolved greatly over the years and are now available in a wide variety of materials. One extremely practical type is a Canvas Laundry Basket! Which is why I’m featuring Canvas Laundry Baskets in this Trend Alert feature.

Whether it’s for decorative purposes or simply to enhance the laundry process, canvas laundry baskets are more than just a trend! Let’s take a closer look into Canvas Laundry Baskets!

Why we love canvas laundry baskets!

We love using canvas laundry baskets in our projects because they are fantastic for busy family households. Fabric and canvas laundry baskets are washable and made from durable materials. Regardless of your interior style, there are many different colors and patterned baskets to choose from!

Many canvas laundry baskets are environmentally friendly based on how the material is sourced.

How to use canvas laundry baskets 

Laundry baskets are typically used for collecting dirty laundry from the home. You may have laundry baskets in each bedroom, but you can also use them within living spaces as extra storage too!

Adding a canvas laundry basket to your home can be both practical and for aesthetic reasons.

What to watch out for with canvas laundry baskets

As with any interior design trend, there are some considerations to take into account when thinking of using canvas laundry baskets in your home…

Canvas or fabric laundry baskets are prone to absorbing moisture and develop mildew if not properly cared for. Washing them regularly will help to prevent this but be sure to dry them thoroughly before using again.

These laundry baskets are not as sturdy as plastic ones.

Ways to make canvas laundry baskets last in your home

A canvas or fabric laundry basket can last many years in your home!

Make sure to choose a sustainable material, and one that can be washed. If you’re unsure of bright colors or patterns, choose a neutral basket that will complement any interior scheme.
