"Your dream kitchen likely includes sleek features that aren't always standard in many homes, including a quiet pull-out trash can cabinet that discreetly hides away. But if built-ins aren't in your budget, you may be hunting for an aesthetically pleasing garbage solution. Stainless steel cans may be prettier than plastic alternatives, but they might not fit in with a homey aesthetic."
"So when I stumbled upon how a pro-thrifter used a common laundry room accessory in their kitchen, I was immediately hooked. Rebecca from @my.thrifted.abode posted an Instagram video sharing some of her favorite thrift flips she's learned over the years. And the transformation that's getting the most love is the one where she turned a laundry hamper into a kitchen trash can."
""I picked up this wicker laundry hamper for just $7 and reimagined it as a charming kitchen trash can," Rebecca told her followers. She explained that this hamper was large enough to fit her 11-gallon trash can with a few minor adjustments, adding: "I did have to trim the plastic with scissors just a bit to make it fit, [but] I think it looks so charming in my cottagecore kitchen, and it's much prettier than a plastic one.""
A thrifter repurposed a wicker laundry hamper into a charming kitchen trash can that hides an 11-gallon bin with minor trimming. The makeover required trimming a bit of the inner plastic to fit, but the result suits a cottagecore aesthetic and looks prettier than a standard plastic can. Thrift stores offer low-cost hampers, though immediate needs can be met by buying a similar flap-lid hamper from a retailer that fits up to 23 gallons. Matching trash cans are available online, and simple measurements ensure compatibility before purchasing. This approach offers a budget-friendly, decorative solution to conceal household waste without major renovations.
