 Design is all about making a space comfortable, roomy and organized. Dylan Kendall, writing in the Huffington Post, claims that our sense of aesthetics can have a significant impact on our overall happiness and even cognitive development.
Smaller residences may have difficulty keeping things out of the way, especially in high-traffic areas like the kitchen. The food, accessories and appliances that are necessary for a whole family can make any room feel cramped and uncomfortable.
The Brabantia brand puts a special emphasis on economically built products, from its ironing boards to drying racks.
One product, the Brabantia Touch Bin, is notable because of its exceptional storage capacity and unparalleled design. Its unique, stain-proof top opens and closes with a mere touch of the fingers, which means that there’s less wear and tear on this bin than those with pedals.
We recommend this product to any family with a garbage can that seems to always need emptying or with one that takes up an entire corner of the kitchen or hallway. The slender, beautiful Brabantia Touch Bin allows homes with limited space to maintain a clean aesthetic.

 College dorms are cramped living spaces with little room to spare. In one month, a new fleet of college-bound students will be moving into their new homes and trying to make the best of the space they have, which usually includes laundry and trash bags for mountains of clothes.
Many garments can be scattered across the floor in no time, especially if there’s nowhere to hang them. Formal wear may become wrinkled from being crumpled in a drawer or clothes may get dirtied from inappropriate spots on heaters,window sills or desks.
The Brabantia door drying rack is an ideal addition to any college dorm. Its space-efficient design allows it the versatility that is crucial to the dorm environment. This product can hang from a closet or front door, a railing or wall.
This is a particularly handy device for collared shirts or delicate garments that need to be air-dried. It can also hold towels for the beach and the bathroom. With its total 14.7 feet of drying line, all of which can be adjusted, the Brabantia door drying rack will offer anyone precious extra space.

 Whether you’re rushing to work in the morning or taking the time to dress up for a formal occasion, there’s always a need for the painful task of ironing. This can take valuable time out of the day and, with most ironing boards, involves maneuvering around corners and trying not to burn things with the iron while struggling to keep clothes on the board.
Ironing can be needlessly stressful. However, a new ironing board may have a significant effect on frustration, especially one as refined as the Brabantia ironing board.
This Brabantia product includes innovative features that few other boards possess.
One end is designed to accommodate shirts and the other is made to support pants to prevent clothes from slipping, and all of the boards are available with an iron parking space. These unique additions allow you to rest an iron on either side of the board, so whether you are left handed or right handed you will be able to easily park your iron in a safe place.
With four adjustable heights, the Brabantia ironing board also supports those who wish to sit down while they iron. Its secure locking mechanisms ensure stability, so you can sit on a bed or in front of the TV while doing this chore.

 Those who own a Brabantia trash bin may have a hard time finding bin liners that fit appropriately or aesthetically. Many trash bags can just be a little too big and stick out of the bin itself, which can make it hard to close.
Luckily, Brabantia makes bin liners for each brand of their trash bins. So, whether you own a pedal, retro or touch bin, there should be a liner that has been precisely tailored to fit it.
In order to find out which bin liner will fit your Brabantia product, just look on the inside of the bin and identify its color code. The liners are designated by this color so, once you know it, you can order the exact liner that’s required.
Each one of these bags has a ventilation system and sealing tape. The vents ensure that, when the liner is placed into the bin, air can escape and prevent the plastic from bunching up or getting tangled.
When removing the liner from the bin, make sure to use the plastic shell that comes with the Barbantia trash bin. That reinforces the support, so there’s little chance that it will break on the way out to the garbage cans.

 Trash bins are often too big to carry around or, if you can move them, they may not hold as much as you’d like. Smaller trash bins might also create an unseemly overflow of garbage that can ruin the room’s appearance and air quality.
The 12-liter Brabantia Pedal Bin may be the solution. Its 15.7-inch height and built-in handle allow it to be transported to any room in the house and easily stored in any compartment or corner that can be found. That means that there will be no more laboring up and down flights of stairs just to empty an upstairs bin.
Additionally, the Pedal Bin is carefully designed to keep odors within the closed lid. No matter how small the room is, the smell of the trash won’t permeate the air. The bottom of this Brabantia product is also layered with plastic to prevent damage or scrapes against a hardwood floor.
The plastic lining of this trash container is removable, too, so there’s added support when you take out the garbage.
If your family likes to take road trips during summer vacations, we recommend placing the Brabantia Pedal Bin between the front and back seats. Resistant to fingerprints, odors and corrosion, this is the ideal trash can for long car rides with adults, pets and kids.

 These days, many more people are trying to focus on saving money on energy bills and on being environmentally friendly.
The average drier uses 3.3 kilowatt hours of energy and the Saving Electricity website estimates that this adds up to around 36 cents a load. This measurement doesn’t take into account multiple loads for driers that don’t get things dry enough, nor the fading and harmful effect that most driers have on clothes.
The Brabantia top spinner drying rack can hold up to two or three loads of laundry at a time, which means that you’ll already save more than a dollar each time you utilize it to dry garments or linens.
Naturally drying clothes may take an extra hour or two but, since you can fit more items on the top spinner rack than in a drier, the results will be about the same, with the added bonus that your clothes will be less wrinkled from air drying and have a rich, outdoor smell.
This Brabantia product is made from weather and rust-resistant steel, making it particularly durable against the elements, and the item also comes with a cover to protect your clothes as well. Some choose to leave it outside all year round and others simply fold it up and put it in the garage during particularly cold months.

 If you’re hosting a party for the upcoming holiday, you’re probably going to have rolls, breads, pastries and buns for barbecues. It’s easy for all of these supplies to get thrown into a disorganized pile or find their way onto different counters, tables or floors.
Even after the holiday is over, you may find crumbs or half-finished bags of baked goods around the house or out on the deck, which can attract rodents or other pests.
The Brabantia roll top bread bin is a great way to prevent things from getting out of hand and keeping sandwich, burger, hot dog and dessert supplies in one place. It can fit at least two large loaves of bread within it and the top is perfectly flat, for the added storage of spices or condiments.
This particular product is suited for crowds of people, because its unique design keeps the opening and closing of its polished steel lid completely silent. That means no constant slamming or grinding as people get food. The metal surface is also immune to fingerprints, so you will rarely, if ever, have to clean grease and marks from this Brabantia product.
Available in white, silhouette, black or silver, the Brabantia roll top bread bin will look good anywhere in the home and constantly come in handy – during parties and afterward.

 Laundry machines are rarely located in convenient places. They could be in the hallway between the kitchen and the garage or a musty corner of the basement. It’s often difficult to find room for clothes that are coming out the dryer, and aren’t quite dry enough to fold, or won’t fit in a basket.
After retrieving clothes from the drier, it may also be difficult to fit all of your garments into a small closet space, especially if they are still a little wet.
The Brabantia door drying rack offers up to 4.5 meters (14.8 feet!) in extra drying lines. It’s specifically designed to add storage capacity to cramped areas.
You can use the rack for any area of the house that needs more room – it can hang from doors of just about any size and can adjust in size by folding, if you don’t need to use all of the rungs.
We especially recommend this Brabantia product for the doors of beach or lake houses, bathrooms and laundry rooms. It’s ideal for times when you need to hang a handful of wet towels or sheets to dry, but can’t seem to find the room without getting something else wet in the process.
Every Brabantia door drying rack is made from highly durable stainless steel and comes with a 10 year guarantee.

 If you’ve recently bought a Brabantia trash bin, the odds are good that you’re going to want bin liners for it. Brabantia bin liners are specifically made for the company’s waste bins, so they fit snugly and securely into the trash bin.
Each set of liners is color coded for a particular bin, so be sure to select the liners accordingly. Once you have the appropriate liner, you’ll notice that it blends perfectly with the bin so there’s no unappealing, wadded plastic poking out from the lid.
The best way to dispose of trash from a Brabantia bin is to extract the inner shell of the can as you remove the bin liner. The plastic shell adds extra support to the bag when you’re taking out the garbage. This prevents any messy mishaps when you’re on the way to the garage or the sidewalk with a particularly heavy bag.
These bin liners are made of extra strong plastic material and each one comes with sealing tape that will prevent debris and odors from leaking out of the bag once it is properly shut.
Brabantia bin liners are cheap and effective. We especially advise those with Brabantia trash bins to invest in these custom-sized products.

 When you get back from work and need to cook dinner, the kitchen counter can soon become a mess. Many kitchens may have tight cooking spaces to begin with and condiments, silverware and other ingredients don’t help.
The Brabantia food storage touch bin is made especially for kitchens that are pressed for space. It is specifically designed to store food that somehow don’t fit into cupboards, drawers and shelves.
The bin can store two full-sized loaves of bread and even accommodate smaller pastries on top of the loaves. The top of the bin is perfectly flat, so it can fit beneath any number of other items, and the lid is designed to be almost totally silent when it’s opened.
As with all Brabantia products, the food storage bin is outstandingly durable and sleek. The silver or coal-colored bins are made to blend with any kitchen’s color scheme. Each bin is polished to be highly resistant to mold and fingerprints and comes with a 10-year guarantee.
Pasting… Cancel
It’s not often that you come across a household appliance that both enhances the aesthetic of the home and makes food storage more economic and organized. Instead of rushing home and ripping through drawers looking for specific breads or cooking materials, why not just have the Brabantia food storage bin waiting for you?
