Corner Wicker Laundry Basket Antique Wash | The Elmsmere

There are corners in every home that seem to wait for something—the space beside a linen press, the alcove in a bootroom, that awkward angle in a bedroom where nothing quite fits. The Elmsmere Corner Laundry Basket was made for those corners. Handwoven from antique wash willow and lined with crisp white cotton, it nestles neatly into spaces that square baskets can't reach, turning forgotten corners into quietly useful places that feel rather lovely.

This isn't just clever design—it's thoughtful living. The triangular shape maximizes corner space without jutting into the room, while the soft antique wash finish and removable cotton lining blend rustic charm with everyday practicality. Whether you're gathering laundry for washing day, storing fresh linens for guests, or tucking away seasonal textiles, the Elmsmere does its work with warmth and grace—a gentle companion to the rhythm of home life.

Why This Corner Basket Deserves Its Place

Handwoven from antique wash willow, each basket carries the natural variations in weave and tone that mark quality craftsmanship. The removable white cotton lining protects delicate garments and can be gently hand-washed when needed, keeping the basket fresh for years of use. The corner-specific design is both practical (fits where square baskets can't) and visually pleasing (clean lines, stately proportions, makes use of wasted space).

Available in three sizes to suit different corners and needs: Small for bathrooms or guest rooms, Large for family laundry or linen storage, or the Set of 2 for those who appreciate matching pieces in multiple corners throughout the home. The handwoven construction is designed for daily use while the breathable willow ensures proper air circulation—important for storing textiles.

Where It Belongs

This is a piece that transforms forgotten corners into quietly useful spaces while adding heritage charm to any room it inhabits.
