Dunelm's £12 storage solution reduced online that's 'perfect' for anyone with a messy home

If you’re still making some New Year upgrades around the house to give you that fresh start you need for 2025, replacing your laundry basket could be the finishing touch you’re looking for. If your old one is a little ratty, or you’re just looking for something that looks more deliberate than the collapsible one that followed you through and out of student halls, Dunelm have got just the thing.

Right now the gorgeous Versailles White Square Laundry Basket is marked down to £12 to £14 depending on size, reduced from £24 to £28 (all prices correct at the time of writing). Small and large options are available, with the large being seven centimetres larger across its width, height, and depth.

These woven willow wicker baskets really do look the part, with a detailed and dense weave and a sturdy squared shape. The lid is hinged for ease of use, and it’s got a fabric inner lining that can be pulled out when you’re ready to put a wash on.

It’s available in either white or grey, and it’s easily wiped clean with a damp cloth too. If it turns out it’s not quite the right fit for your space, Dunelm also offers simple, free returns.

Returns are in the minority, however, with 4.1 out of 5 stars awarded across over 100 customer reviews so far. “The laundry basket is exactly as pictured and described,” said a five-star write-up. “I am very pleased with it.”

“Great value in sale — looks fab in our new bathroom,” said another happy customer.

Another said: “Great price and a lovely laundry basket. Nicely lined and not cheap looking either. Goes great in my bathroom.”

Some customers have been disappointed. One said: "It’s as expected but bits of wicker flake off each time you open and close it. Not ideal for a charcoal carpet.”
