Lidded Hampers & Trunks

Lidded Hampers and Storage Trunks in Every Size

The range spans small lidded hampers that sit at the end of a bed for towels and linens, mid-sized storage trunks ideal for blankets and throws in the lounge, and large heritage-style chest trunks substantial enough to use as a coffee table or window seat. Materials run from antique wash willow and white wash wicker for traditional schemes through to kubu rattan and grey wash wicker for more contemporary spaces.

Most come fully lined with cotton or jute, which serves three purposes: it protects soft contents from snagging on the weave, keeps everything looking neat when you lift the lid, and helps trap dust. Many liners are removable and machine washable, so the basket itself doesn't need replacing when life happens.

How to Choose a Lidded Hamper or Storage Trunk for Your Home

The main thing to think about is what you're storing and how often you need to access it. For things you reach for daily (laundry on its way to the wash, towels for the bathroom), our laundry baskets tend to be the better fit since they don't require lifting a lid each time. For things stored long-term but kept tidy, a lidded trunk wins. As a rough guide, a small trunk holds a folded duvet and pillows, a medium handles a couple of throws and spare bedding, and a large can swallow a serious quantity of children's toys or off-season clothing.

Storage That Doubles as Furniture

These trunks work brilliantly as functional furniture. A large lidded trunk makes a beautiful coffee table with throws or magazines on top, a bench at the foot of the bed, or a window seat with a cushion added. The handwoven lid resists wear better than you might expect, although for daily-use surfaces, a glass topper protects it long-term.
