Derived from a naturally growing vine, rattan is an organic material that can be woven together to create beautiful pieces of furniture and home decor. Regarded as an outdoor staple for years, it’s also recently become a major interior design trend.
Rattan has a unique hand-crafted texture that brings natural beauty and warmth to every type of space. Whether you prefer bohemian, scandi or country classic design, rattan can be a great addition to every interior style.
Despite this versatility, rattan is most commonly associated with coastal-style homes. It pairs exceptionally well with fresh white interiors, soft neutral tones, and natural textures like linen or wood. Coastal living is all about creating a relaxed atmosphere, and a braided pendant light or hand-crafted rattan basket can really help invoke that laid-back feeling.
Because of its distinctive finish, rattan is a material that’s best used sparingly. Add too much, and you run the risk of dating your space — you want to avoid the feel of a matching outdoor set. Instead, try a statement armchair or woven chandelier.
If you’re looking for a subtle way to bring the outdoors in, consider purchasing a few rattan pieces in 2021. Below, we’ve included some of our current favorites. Order now at shoppe.idgcayman.com.
