The thought of rattan might take you back to your Nana’s porch but this natural and durable material is making a huge comeback. Not seen in such volume since the eighties, classic rattan is being reinvented in modern and stylish forms.
It is perhaps best known for bringing a laid-back beachy vibe to an interior, but sophisticated reinventions look equally at home in more refined spaces too and across many different design styles, from contemporary to classic, French Provincial to Scandinavian.
It mixes well with existing pieces of furniture and brings a valued layer of texture and warmth – particularly striking juxtaposed against harder surfaces such as stone, concrete and mirror.
Easily adapted for all rooms and budgets, from small accents like trays, wall-art and baskets to large statement-making furniture. It’s versatile to use from the backyard to the bedroom and has evolved to include bedheads, drawers, tables, chairs, daybeds, pendant lights, cots, baskets and much more.
And definitely not restricted to it’s natural colour, rattan responds well to a myriad of colours and finishes – striking in black, laid back whitewash, warm walnut or painted colour for a truly customised outcome.
