At home, do you hide away your waste bins because they may look plain ugly? Tuck them away somewhere no one can see them? And then complain when they become inaccessible?
We usually give waste bins very little thought, they are after all waste bins – for functional purposes and perhaps a little yucky. Little do we realise, they do form part of one’s home furnishing. We can’t always tuck them away, can’t always define an independent corner for them, can’t avoid having them at home. What we can do however is choose a sexy looking bin that adds character to its space.
Time to select some good looking bins. And there are plenty of styles that allow a ‘waste bin’ to be a conversation piece by itself. Take for example this traditional metal bin from IKEA. I’d say it takes me back to the 1950’s with its tin contours and lid-on-the-top style.
We have the styles to make peace with our bins. Now it’s all up to how much rubbish and what kind of rubbish we will be working with in order to decide the perfect match.

There are smaller ones that add some funk into your rooms if you may. These are available in all primary colors, once again IKEA cracks It well.
Vintage bins are in – perfectly contributing to a shabby-chic look at home. Or even baskets with which you can never go wrong. Well at least while they’re not being used for the kitchen sort of rubbish.
Or do the funny and get home a bin from a hotel lobby! Or one from the street! Get creative, get rustic and be daring. This would certainly speak for quirkiness and ingenuity.
