COMBINING FUNCTION AND BEAUTY WITH ACCESSORIES THAT ARE MADE TO BE SEEN
When it comes to interior design, the small details are just as important as the broader concept. Devi Grewal from Must-Have Bins explains how they strive to combine elegance and function with their ‘heirlooms of tomorrow’.
William Morris once said, ‘Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful’. This ethos is at the core of what our team at Must-Have Bins do, ensuring everyday room accessories are both useful, and beautiful.
When you’re concentrating on the broad brushstrokes of your statement décor and interior design - paint colours, statement wallpapers and furniture choice - the smaller details that allow the room to function are often an afterthought.
Perhaps you go on a last-minute shopping spree to find decorative bins, stylish magazine racks or luxury tissue boxes that either blend inoffensively in to your scheme, or that can just be hidden away. But good interior design happens at the intersection between appearance and function, and a well-designed room should be easy to live in, not just beautiful, and disguising or hiding functional objects can make them hard to use.
Crafting The Heirlooms of Tomorrow With Unusual Materials And Heritage Craft Methods
At Must-Have Bins, we believe that instead of hiding the accessories we use every day, we should embrace them, choosing objects that we love as much as the statement pieces in a room. That’s why we travel the world looking for beautiful and unique materials and traditional heritage craft methods, bringing this inspiration to the small practical objects that are too often overlooked in interior design.
From luxury mother-of-pearl inlay tissue boxes to decoupage wastepaper bins, we design and make our pieces to be the heirlooms of tomorrow.
At the heart of our range are our fabulous luxury wastepaper bins, each an object of art. We envisage that our bins can be the antiques of tomorrow, which can take pride of place in a modern design scheme.
We make our wastepaper bins using stunning, tactile materials like lacquer, shagreen, leather, bone inlay, rattan and more, and incorporate designs inspired by everything from Art Nouveau patterns and Baroque decoration to Indian architecture and Renaissance art.
This unity of beauty and function should flow right down to the most mundane elements of a room. From gorgeous tissue boxes decorated with intricate florals and elegant umbrella stands festooned in glorious William Morris decoupage to stylish ice buckets with bold, gold Deco patterns; we have a wide range to choose from, and our design team can create concept items to fit any design style.
