How’s this for a chic and large laundry basket?

Diwa turns the IVAR storage system into a stylish and extra large laundry basket, well, more like a big capacity laundry bin.

I like how it lights up, though not such a good idea when full of dirty clothes.

Another thought I had about this large laundry basket would be to probably add another piece of plexiglass inside to divide the bin for whites and colours.

Diwa says, “I always wanted a good-looking large laundry basket. Something I wouldn’t mind having in my bedroom. I had some IVAR shelving at home and always thought it would make a great frame to build on.

A few slats of pine from Home Depot, some Plexiglass, hinges and floor lamps and voilà – an extra large laundry hamper. I cut a small opening into one of the shelves to serve as a door with hinges on one side.”

Kwarco is one of the lucky ones to have a large laundry room, located right next to the kitchen. It also contains the back entrance to the house. So they decided to make it kind of a secondary kitchen with a lot of storage space and room to work. The washer-dryer combo needed a place in there as well. They liked it to be on a pedestal, as it is much more functional. So off to IKEA they went. Read more.
