Silly question...bathroom bin

Hello!
Our bathroom has been recently refurbished and I absolutely love it. One of the very few things needed now is a bin..... That sounds like a very easy task, but I am also pregnant and wondering if that changes the requirements?
Do I need a larger bin? What do you do?

OMG, I have just had such a nightmare finding a suitable bathroom bin lol. My old ones had metal bits which always ended up going rusty eventually so 100% plastic was the first must have. But I didn't want just a crappy looking plastic bin and all the nice ones I was finding had some metal somewhere.

First I bought one like this: www.bmstores.co.uk/products/beldray-waste-bin-330927 but I didn't like that there was no lid and you could see the rubbish.

So then I bought this one: www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_308010681464_-1 but I didn't need the recycling section as we have a large recycling bin on the landing just outside the bathroom so having 2 was silly Blush and plus I still wasn't happy with the lack of proper lid.

So this one came next: www.amazon.co.uk/Addis-Rattan-Round-Bathroom-Calico/dp/B01LW0RHC6/ref=pd_bxgy_201_img_3?psc=1&pf_rd_t=40701&pd_rd_i=B01LW0RHC6&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_p=3332058357179395958&_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_wg=8q4Fj&pf_rd_r=K0FTHGBZA9SAY10B5RCJ&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pd_rd_w=DLZIl&tag=mumsnetforum-21&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&refRID=K0FTHGBZA9SAY10B5RCJ&pd_rd_r=d9d17229-8683-11e8-bcad-21bcac3ae2ea but it was too small and the lid got caught on the bag inside which annoyed me hugely!

Finally I got this one (I know, it was reaching ridiculous by this point): www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JVL-Knit-Design-Loop-Plastic-10-Litre-Push-Top-Bin-White-or-Grey/173274722738?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=471984144004&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 which is okay but I'm still not 100% happy with it as it's a bit cheapy looking.

Ahhh great suggestions! The Joseph Joseph seems very practical and stylish. My hubby would be very happy to have the recycling section!

The JJ one was very nice to be fair. It just didn't quite work for our needs, you know? They do toothbrush holders and other bits and bobs to match too.

I also spent ages selecting the right bin.
Ds decided to stand on it instead of his toddler step and squash the lid!!
Back to square one.
