Brabantia’s Beautiful New Laundry Bins

Have I mentioned before how much I dislike doing the laundry? I’m pretty sure I’ve told you that I don’t enjoy ironing and that I like hoovering even less. But these things are a necessity, especially when you have a baby. I think I have done more laundry this year than I have done in all the years previous to Matylda’s arrival put together. It is just never ending and there is a constant stream of washing making its way from the laundry bin to the washing machine to the tumble dryer to the ironing basket. I never seem to get on top of it and that is what depresses me because I never feel like I have finished the task. Whilst I struggle to enjoy these domestic chores, I do find that they get a little more bearable if you have great equipment to work with. For example, ironing has become a fraction more enjoyable since I got my gorgeous geometric ironing board from Brabantia. It’s a joy to use and an absolute pleasure to look at (although lugging it around the house is no easy task as it is bigger than me and quite heavy). Recently I have started to look around for a new laundry bin as I figure I spend so much time doing laundry I may as well invest in a laundry bin that will make me smile. Plus I want one that will look great in my bedroom once we have decorated. I didn’t need to look far because as if by magic an email popped into my inbox from Brabantia all about its brand new Autumn 2014 products and lo and behold one of those products was my idea of a perfect laundry bin.

The white and metallic mint laundry bins are adorned with a cork lid that features a clever Quick-Drop opening, which means you don’t even have to remove it to put in laundry. This is ideal for me as I’m often carrying Matylda around and don’t have both hands free to open the lid. There is a lightweight cotton bag inside the bin that can be removed. The bins also have a new pattern of round ventilation holes which subtly modernise the design. They are available in two sizes, 35 and 60 litres and make a perfect addition to bedrooms, bathrooms, wet rooms or utility areas.

What do you guys think? Is this not the most beautiful laundry bin you’ve ever seen? It certainly goes straight to the top of my lust list!
