Storage Hampers

Lidded Storage Hampers for Every Room

The range covers traditional lidded willow hampers in 14, 24 and 29-inch sizes, double-lidded hampers that open from both ends, antique wash and white wash finishes for classic country schemes, and contemporary kubu rattan and grey wash wicker options for modern interiors. Most come fully lined with cotton or sage linen, with the liner removable and machine washable.

Storage hampers work particularly well in living rooms and bedrooms, where you need lidded storage but a full trunk would feel oversized. A 14-inch hamper sits neatly beside a sofa for spare throws and remote controls. A 24-inch hamper handles a couple of folded blankets, fits at the end of a bed, or works as a side table with a small lamp on top. The 29-inch hampers approach trunk territory in capacity but keep the slimmer profile of a hamper.

Storage Hampers as DIY Gift Hampers

These hampers also have a long heritage as gift hampers, originally sold filled with food, wine or seasonal goods, then re-purposed for storage afterwards. Our empty hampers range is dedicated to this DIY gifting use, but any of the storage hampers in this collection work equally well. The DIY Christmas hamper ideas blog has more on building gift hampers from scratch.

Lined or Unlined: How to Choose the Right Storage Hamper

Lined hampers protect contents from snagging on the weave and are essential for storing folded fabrics. Unlined hampers work fine for harder items (toys, books, magazines) and let you see the weave fully. Both styles benefit from being stored away from direct sunlight and prolonged moisture, which can dry out the willow over years.
