I can’t say I’ve ever paid much attention to the aesthetics of a laundry basket until I spotted Next’s Natural Bow Laundry Sorter (£90). Its pretty design is proof that functional items can and should be beautiful.
When it comes to laundry, most will choose functionality over looks, but what if you could have both? Next’s stylish new laundry basket is not only perfect for sorting and separating laundry, but will make your utility room, bathroom or bedroom look better, too.
If you’re looking for small upgrades that will make your home look effortlessly cool, a statement laundry basket is a good place to start. But given that Next’s pretty storage solutions tend to sell out fast, get a wriggle on if you like what you see.

Natural Bow Laundry Sorter
This statement laundry basket is as practical as it is pretty. It’s slim design means it suited for small spaces and you have the convienience of two sections to seperate washing.
I’ve been burned by pretty Next products selling out fast before. When the Pink Stripe Frill Storage Drawers (£36) first dropped, they sold out faster than I could get my hands on them, and I’m not making that mistake again.
If you’re a fan of the bow trend that has been a huge home decor trend for a few years now, you’ll love this laundry basket. Its large, statement woven bow is what makes this basket a star. If you’re looking to add more characterful pieces to your home, a statement laundry basket like this will make your home look that little bit more whimsical.
While bows are trendy, let’s be honest, a little oversaturated now, I do think this laundry basket is a fun update on the look. Instead of adding pretty pink bows to candlestick holders, glasses, cushions or crockery, which is starting to feel a little tired, the oversized woven laundry basket bow is different. I’ve not seen it before. It’s a refreshing take on an existing trend.
And while it is very pretty, I also rate the Next Natural Bow Laundry Sorter due to the fact it is both space-saving and will make laundry easier. I immediately noticed how narrow in width the basket is, making it ideal for small households or homes that lack space.
The basket has two-sided sorting compartments – like the Joseph Joseph Tota Laundry Basket (£95) – which makes it a breeze to separate your washing. I also like how the basket is 100% paper and not plastic, which can make woven designs look quite cheap.
Right now, Next has loads of stunning laundry baskets on offer. Here are a few more of my favourites.
