The vine like species of palm that is similar to bamboo called rattan can make the most incredible furniture.

It’s easy to incorporate into most home designs. Rattan is very durable and by just upgrading the cushions that you have or you can upgrade rattan furniture often at very little cost.

1.    Rattan works both inside and outside

Traditionally, rattan was almost exclusively used outside but this is no longer the case. Newer rattan pieces have darker tones that give rattan a moodier edge instead of the tropical feel that it usually had before. This makes it easier to use rattan inside where the mood may not be as bright as outside. The contours of rattan furniture give curves to a room that would otherwise have looked simple.

Rattan is a natural material and used to complete a home to make it look more laid back especially in the bedroom. With white linen and throws as well as pillows that have a white or off-white colour palette it can surely brighten up any bedroom.

2.    Rattan is uber comfortable

Rattan does not only look good but it feels very comfortable as well. This makes it versatile as you can have a rattan seat in virtually any room in the house. The secret to making rattan work is by choosing pieces that mix well with all the other basic furniture that you have in a room. A rattan armchair or coffee table can be used to complement a neutral linen sofa and rattan chairs can work very well with a simple dining table.

3.    Rattan looks great with different textiles.

When the weather turns cool you do not need to put away your rattan furniture. You can make rattan furniture feel cosy with soft textiles such as textured throws as well as sheepskin. Rattan baskets on your walls can add variance, warmth and can add a texture to your home. It can brighten up any room and let the beauty of each room stand out.
