Westchester Rattan Storage Basket ($398)
Laundry looks a lot better when sorted into handwoven rattan baskets. Oval-shaped with plenty of room for whites, darks, towels and more, these coastal-inspired vessels look pretty lined up under a cabinet or on top of a counter. Hand-bent pole and caning complement any color scheme, with no two looking exactly alike for a collected finish.
