Due to unexpected illness, we ended up downsizing two built in wardrobe sizes and ended up with two empty spaces for now of 20 inches. Eventually we would like to add the orginal plan for three door wardrobes flanking our vanity on each side with built in tilt hampers but for now my existing cheap 31 bag hampers fit in the spaces on each end of our his and her storage units. They are light, easily slide in and out and hold finished folded laundry well so I really like them at this time. I have another matching hamper tucked on the other side too.

Here's a stylish one I love from Pottery Barn.

I use more of a woven style one in my master bathroom/closet:

I have a tall, plain laundry basket for laundry in my bathroom ... but it sits inside a linen closet, so looks really don't matter.

I got rid of hampers because the SO's children were dumping sweaty clothing in them, forgetting the clothing and going back to college, or wet bath towels and letting them mildew.

So with no hampers they had to deal with the clothing and towels immediately and I had no stinky hampers.

I searched for an upstairs bathroom hamper for a long time. Our laundry being on the first floor. I vetoed lots of hampers for many reasons. Lived with a cheap plastic hamper in a small bath unitil I finally ran into This at Target of all places after searching high end, bath specialty, department stores, TJ Maxx, all the home stores. But this was really well built wicker, not loose weave. Solidly built, and has a bag inside to carry laundry to wash room and you can then launder bag. Bag attaches well to with nice tabs and metal hooks in basket.

kai615- Thanks! I was actually just looking at that hamper online. I saw that my target carries it, so I was going to go look at it. It also have great online reviews.

I planned for a tilt-out hamper in my vanity when I remodeled my master bathroom two years ago. Something was lost in the translation (cabinet-maker is native Spanish speaker; I speak little Spanish), and I ended up with a deep drawer that pulls out instead of a tilt-out, like this one

I've yet to find a laundry basket that will fit into the deep drawer and there's no ventilation - so I'm not using it. Instead, I'm using an inexpensive, free-standing canvas laundry basket that looks like it belongs in a dorm room.

I'm planning to remodel my hallway bathroom next year, and I'm revisiting the hamper issue. The hampers below puls out like a trash pullout. I think I would like that better than tilt-out, but there is still the ventilation issue.

I'm leaning toward leaving empty space in the cabinetry in the hallway bathroom for stashing a free-standing hamper. I like the use of an alcove in this photo, but I can't think of any way to create an alcove like this in my bathroom, so would need hamper to fit inside a cabinet space under the vanity

I put my hampers in my master closet. And in my new build, I'm putting 2 in my closet and one in DH's closet. DH's closet will get the dirty socks and undies and mine will hold the shirts and then all the miscellaneous items.

I like that little cut-out space!

And those are my slightly-square above-vanity lights!

I recently purchased this one at The Container Store after our master bathroom remodel. However, you asked about keeping a hamper in the bathroom and after our remodel, we now keep this hamper in the closet. One of the features about this hamper I like is the option of having the top open from the short side OR the long side. I also like that it's tall and narrow, so it doesn't take up as much floor space, but still holds a lot. Altho it is plastic, I think it's a little stylish. One other note - if you are looking for something white, this one IRL is more of an ivory.

here are 2 different ones I have. The gray one is for my bathroom/laundry niche. The aqua one is in the basement laundry area. I use the aqua one to move laundry upstairs and help transfer wet laundry to dryer. The gray one is permanently camped in the bathroom. They both have handles.

Dark gray tote from The Container Store. very nice plastic item. Much nicer than can be found at Target or Walmart. Its made in Japan:

Also from The Container Store. It is made in Germany. Very flexible and the perfect color for my basement (down with the spiders) laundry setup. I've got 2 of them:
