Rattan Bathroom Bins | Cane Bathroom Bin with Lid
A rattan bathroom bin is the small finishing touch that makes a bathroom feel complete. Handwoven by our artisans from natural rattan and cane, these bins sit neatly beside a vanity or pedestal basin and bring warm, tactile texture to a room built from tile, porcelain and chrome. Choose an open round design for quick everyday use or a cane bathroom bin with a lid when you want a tidier, more discreet look.
Why Choose a Rattan Bathroom Bin
Most bathroom bins are made to be ignored, yet they sit in plain view every day. Swapping a plastic or metal pedal bin for a woven rattan one changes the whole corner of the room. The honey tone of the fibre picks up wooden vanities, linen towels and stone surfaces, and the gentle shadow of the weave adds depth that flat materials cannot.
Rattan is also practical. It is light enough to lift with one hand when emptying, strong enough to keep its round shape, and flexible enough that it will not dent or chip if knocked over. A simple fitted liner keeps the inside clean, so the weave stays looking fresh for years.
Finding the Right Size
Powder Rooms and Small Bathrooms
Compact spaces need a slim footprint. A small bathroom bin around 8 inches across tucks between the basin pedestal and the wall without blocking the door swing or the toilet. Keep the height below the vanity top so the bin reads as part of the furniture rather than an extra object.
Family and Main Bathrooms
Busier bathrooms benefit from a little more capacity so the bin is emptied less often. A taller woven bin with a lid suits this setting, keeping cotton pads, tissues and packaging out of sight while still looking like a decorative piece.
Guest Bathrooms and En-Suites
For guest spaces, a lidded rattan bin gives a polished, hotel-style finish. Place it where visitors can find it easily, ideally within arm's reach of the basin, and pair it with a folded hand towel in the same tone.
Creating a Matching Rattan Bathroom Set
A bin looks its best when it echoes something else in the room. Add a woven vanity tray to corral soap and perfume on the counter, hang a rattan-framed mirror above the basin, and finish with a lidded laundry basket for towels. For more natural pieces around the home, explore our full rattan homeware collection, and for bins sized for offices and bedrooms, see our waste baskets.
You do not need every piece to match exactly. Two or three woven accents in a similar shade are enough to make the bathroom feel considered and calm.
Caring for Your Rattan Bin
Natural fibres last longest when they stay dry. Position the bin away from the shower and bath, and if it gets splashed, wipe it with a dry cloth and let it air out. Always use a liner, and change it regularly. Every few weeks, run a soft brush over the weave to lift dust from between the strands. Avoid bleach and strong sprays, which can dry out and discolour the cane.
Every rattan bathroom bin in this collection ships free worldwide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a rattan bathroom bin waterproof?
No. Rattan tolerates normal bathroom humidity, but it is not waterproof. Keep it away from direct water and use a liner inside.
Should I choose a bathroom bin with a lid?
A lid keeps the contents hidden and gives a neater finish, which suits guest bathrooms and en-suites. An open bin is quicker to use and works well in a small, private bathroom.
What size bin fits beside a pedestal basin?
Measure the gap between the pedestal and the wall. A round bin around 8 inches across usually fits comfortably in most bathrooms without getting in the way.
Do I need a liner for a cane bathroom bin?
Yes. A liner protects the weave from spills and makes emptying the bin quick and clean.
How do I keep the weave looking new?
Brush it gently every few weeks, wipe off splashes straight away with a dry cloth, and keep it out of strong direct sunlight to prevent uneven fading.
