KRB Hand-Painted Waste Basket

“KRB, an Upper East Side home store staple, sells these waste baskets (and matching tissue box covers, etc.) in a variety of colors. This is the quietest one. Move quickly; they sell out fast.”

“I like a trash can or waste bin that doesn't announce itself as such. Better yet are ones that read as a basket or sculpture or simply blend into the room. This hand-painted paper waste bin comes in a number of colors, including a lime green. I like how it can act as a contrast to a patterned wallpaper (like a patterned pillow on a floral sofa), if you're a maximalist, or how the natural/white version can play mellow against a white wall. —Amanda Hesser”
