15L Odour-Sealing Trash Can

A slim 15-litre bin raised on four legs, which turns out to matter more than it sounds. The gap underneath keeps the base off a damp kitchen floor, makes it easy to sweep or mop beneath rather than around, and lifts the whole thing visually so it reads as a piece of furniture rather than a bin shoved in a corner.

The flip-top lid seals as it closes, holding smells inside where they belong, which is the main argument for a lidded bin in an open-plan kitchen or a small bathroom. At 48.5 cm tall and only 19.6 cm deep, it slots into the space beside a unit, a basin pedestal or a desk without protruding into the room. Four finishes are offered: white, black, green and light green, each with a metallic trim along the lid edge.

Fifteen litres is a sensible capacity for a bathroom, a bedroom, a home office or a second kitchen bin for recycling. The plastic body wipes clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent, and the liner sits below the rim rather than bunching over it.
