Rattan Bathroom Storage
Choosing Rattan Storage for Your Bathroom
The right shape often depends on what you would like to store and where the basket will sit. Our collection encompasses a range of sizes, from smaller 32 x 14 x 14cm boxes to larger 50 x 40 x 25cm baskets.
Tall forms and large open baskets make thoughtful use of floor or cabinet space, while smaller rectangular boxes work well on shelves, beneath a vanity or beside a bath. A generously proportioned open basket by the bath keeps folded towels close at hand without crowding the room.
Natural rattan brings a honeyed warmth to the room, while brown and taupe finishes offer deeper tones that sit beautifully against marble, painted timber and tile. We like these baskets alongside the softness of our bath towels and cotton bath mats, where woven fibre and absorbent cotton give the room a greater sense of textural depth. Chosen well, rattan settles into daily use, giving everything a proper place and letting the room feel calm and easy to live with.
Frequently Asked Questions
If you still have some questions please do feel free to get in touch with us.
Is rattan suitable for bathroom storage?
Yes. Its natural strength and light weight make rattan a good choice for storing dry towels, spare rolls and sealed toiletries. Keep in mind that natural fibres do best in rooms where steam can clear and any moisture on the weave can be wiped away.
What sizes do your rattan bathroom boxes and baskets come in?
Our rattan bathroom baskets are available in several sizes, so there's one to suit most shelves, vanities and floor corners. Our lidded storage boxes (L32 x W14 x H14cm / 12.6 x 5.5 x 5.5 inches) and square baskets (L28 x W28 x H13cm / 11 x 11 x 5.1 inches) are well-suited to holding smaller items such as spare rolls.
The rectangular medium (L38 x W28 x H15cm / 15 x 11 x 5.9 inches) and large (L45 x W35 x H15cm / 17.7 x 13.8 x 5.9 inches) baskets are shallower shapes that sit well on open shelving, holding folded hand towels, toiletries and other essentials. For deeper storage, our tall baskets in medium (L41 x W30 x H25cm / 16.1 x 11.8 x 9.8 inches) and large (L50 x W40 x H25cm / 19.7 x 15.7 x 9.8 inches) take bath sheets and larger folded linens.
Can rattan bathroom baskets hold damp towels?
We suggest using rattan baskets for clean, dry towels, and allowing used towels to dry fully before placing them inside. Ongoing contact with damp fabric can affect the fibres over time. An open basket, positioned where air can circulate freely, is the most suitable option for bath linen.
What is the difference between rattan and wicker bathroom storage?
Rattan is the natural plant material, while wicker describes the technique used to weave fibres into a basket or other object. This means that not all wicker baskets are rattan baskets, but a rattan basket can be woven using a wicker weave. Product descriptions will confirm the material used for each design.
Where is the best place to keep a rattan bathroom storage basket?
Rattan baskets sit happily beside the bath, beneath a console or vanity, or on open shelving where the weave becomes part of the room's texture. Though natural rattan has some level of resistance to humidity, it is not fully waterproof, so a drier corner of the room suits the fibres best.
How should I clean a rattan bathroom basket?
A soft brush or dry cloth is usually enough to lift dust from the weave. For a more thorough clean, a barely damp cloth works well. After cleaning, allow the basket to dry completely in a well-ventilated place. Bear in mind that rattan should not be soaked or treated with abrasive household cleaners.
How long do rattan bathroom storage baskets last?
If properly cared for, a bathroom storage basket made from high-quality natural rattan can last for 10-20 years or more. The skill of the craftsmanship matters, as baskets with a tighter weave will have better structural stability and will be less prone to deforming over time.
