It’s laundry day might not carry the same tinge of existential dread if you had some chicer accessories.

Rescuing leggings from the floor becomes more of a ritual when their temporary home is a ruffled rattan hamper. Dirty towels making the schlep from the primary bath to the laundry room find a little more dignity (and considerably more fun) in a charming, intentionally old-school canvas cart.

Heliotrope, jasmine, and sandalwood. Not from a candle, but your new deliciously scented detergent.
