Decorative Wastebaskets

June 18, 2009 by Allison 2 Comments

handpainted and decoupaged decorative wastebaskets from Marye Kelley via atticmagAn abundant inventory of fancy wastebaskets is there to handle our trash.

Confession time.  I have only one wastebasket in my home that is not hidden in a sink cabinet… but this is about to change. Who knew wastebaskets could be so beautiful!  The decorative selections, above and below, are not the utilitarian nightmares from yesteryear. These wastebaskets are wrapped in lively patterns and textures for visual appeal. Made of wood, metal or durable woven materials, finding a suitable candidate is a dream. Gorgeous Marye-Kelley designs are handmade decoupage wood or metal wastebaskets, available with a scalloped or flat top edge. The pair from Frontgate has intricate designs hand painted on reverse glass.

decorative vintage containers to be used as wastebaskets from J Peterman via AtticmagIf shiny and new is not your thing, think outside the box when browsing antique stores, flea markets and estate sales. Look for objects you can reuse as wastebaskets. I purchased a wooden Chinese rice scoop to use in the powder room. Vintage accessories from J Peterman are similar online finds. From left to right, the 20th century French grain measure is made from peeled tree bark. I love the ironwork on this piece.  An early 1900’s Chinese water bucket has intriguing joinery and iron hardware. I currently use one in the great room to store dog toys.  The wording on the 1903 vintage French tin bucket,  “eau potable,” clues us to its original use – holding water safe to drink – while the patina adds character.

Now the hard part – deciding which decorative wastebaskets to order!

    Hello, I just found your website looking for the final detail for my main floor powder room – an Asian/Chinese waste paper basket. My main floor decor is Thai/Chinese antiques in red, black and teal…..I thought the MK Black and Gold Asian Toile might work but I couldn’t seem to get a larger view….do you have that available or any other suggestions?

    Warm thanks
    Bette

      Hello Bette,

      The black and gold Asian wastebasket is still available at the Marye-Kelley website. It’s WB330.
