Where Scandi simplicity meets countryside charm. The Ashleworth is a grey wash willow storage basket with a soft cotton lining that tucks away clutter whilst adding warmth to any room. Picture it on a shelf holding folded linens, beside your bed catching magazines, or in the nursery corralling soft toys—quiet, functional beauty that earns its place in your home.

Product Story

Some storage baskets shout for attention. The Ashleworth whispers. Woven from grey wash willow with a soft cotton lining, it's the kind of piece that quietly earns its place in your home—tucking away clutter whilst adding warmth to shelves, bedside tables, and nursery corners.

Named after a peaceful Worcestershire village on the River Severn, The Ashleworth embodies that same understated charm. The grey wash finish brings Scandinavian simplicity to British countryside sensibility, whilst the removable lining makes it endlessly practical. Toss it in the wash when life gets messy, then slip it back in place.

This is storage that doesn't apologise for being functional—it celebrates it with quiet, timeless style.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which size should I choose?

Small (21cm) fits perfectly on shelves for toiletries, socks, or small toys. Medium (26cm) is ideal for folded towels, magazines, or nursery essentials. Large (30cm) works beautifully for blankets, larger toys, or wardrobe storage. Extra Large (35cm) is perfect for floor storage, laundry, or bulkier items. Measure your shelf or space first to ensure the perfect fit.

Can I wash the lining?

Yes! The cotton lining is removable and machine washable. Wash cold on a gentle cycle, then air dry. The lining may shrink slightly, so avoid hot water or tumble drying. The willow basket itself should be wiped clean with a damp cloth—never submerge in water.

Will the grey wash finish fade or rub off?

The grey wash is a stain applied to natural willow, not a paint, so it won't chip or peel. Over time and with handling, the finish may lighten slightly in high-contact areas (like handles), which adds to the basket's natural, lived-in character. This is normal and part of the charm of natural materials.

Is this basket sturdy enough for heavy items?

Yes, the willow construction with chipwood base is surprisingly sturdy. The Small and Medium sizes work well for lighter items (linens, toys, toiletries), whilst the Large and Extra Large can handle heavier loads like books, blankets, or laundry. The integral handles are woven into the structure for strength, not just decorative.

Does this work with Scandi, coastal, or cottage interiors?

Absolutely. The grey wash finish and natural willow texture are chameleon-like—they blend beautifully into Scandinavian minimalism, coastal neutrals, modern farmhouse, and English cottage aesthetics. The soft grey tones are neutral enough to work with whites, creams, and natural woods without competing for attention.
