This accessory really completes the design of your room

There are those accessories that you just can't live without. For me, that's the trash can. Fortunately, these days it is no longer just a functional object. Due to the different designs and colors you will always find a trash can that matches the design of your room.

A tidy house provides peace of mind

Whether you have small children or, as in my case, large children, if you are not careful you will encounter clutter everywhere. I always assumed that the bigger the children got, the easier it would be to clean up, but that is still quite disappointing. Sometimes when I go to the children's rooms I want to close the door very quickly behind me. I really don't understand how you can live in such a mess. For me, a tidy house and a tidy wardrobe equals peace of mind.

I can therefore regularly be found in the children's room where I clean up. And believe it or not:you come across the craziest things. From lonely socks to empty bottles and papers of chocolates or empty chip bags. Apparently it's too much trouble to get up, walk to the hallway and put everything in the trash. Time to change this.

This accessory really completes the design of your room

So to make it a lot easier for the teenagers, I have to look for a trash can for their room. Of course that is not a hip accessory and they are not waiting for it. Fortunately, today the trash can is no longer a boring gray thing that you have in the room because it is necessary. Thanks to the wide choice in various designs and colours, you can easily find a model that matches the design of your room.

For the children, it becomes a pedal bin in a color that matches the room. Ideal:because besides the fact that teenagers are lazy, a trash can is dirty (even if it is full of their own rubbish;). With a pedal bin they don't have to touch anything and they can throw all the rubbish in the bin without any problem. She is happy and mothers are happy too. Incidentally, such a pedal bin is not only useful for the teenage and children's room. I can't live without a nice, but not too conspicuous pedal bin in our bedroom either.

Functional and beautiful design

While the pedal bins of the children and us are emptied once a week, it is important in the bathroom and the kitchen to empty everything a few times a week. The bin fills up quickly, especially in the kitchen. We live in a municipality where all garbage must be separated. This means that we have to separate paper, organic waste, PMD and other waste. Now you can of course place different bins in your kitchen, but that doesn't get any better. Fortunately, you can also opt for a touch bin. This not only has a sleek stainless steel appearance, but there are also 1 – 3 bins on the inside, which simplifies the separation of waste. A nice paper bin next to it and all the waste is disposed of in style.

The Sort &Go bins have a slightly sportier appearance and are available in bright colours. These fit in cupboards, on doors and can also simply be placed on the floor. The buckets have various contents and are perfect for separating waste properly.

I think a waste basket in the bathroom is a must, especially because there are two women in the house (daughter and I). Hygiene is my first priority when choosing, but of course the eye also wants something. Fortunately, this has been responded to, resulting in the slide bin. A neutral design that fits into any bathroom, but is above all very innovative. The lid can slide up, in and back and also closes automatically. The inner bucket is easily removable, so you can also easily clean it. Ideal and above all very hygienic to use.

Gone are the days of a trash can in a forgotten corner. These eye-catchers fit into any room thanks to striking colors such as red, yellow, black, green and pink. Do you also want such a nice accessory in your room? Then take a look at the Brabantia website 

In which room do you find a wastepaper basket indispensable and which color and design did you choose? I'm curious.
