5 Easy Ways to Incorporate Rattan Furniture in Your Home (II)
Rattan furniture has been popular for years thanks to its natural charm, lightweight materials and versatility. Whether you prefer traditional or modern decor styles, there are easy ways to work this organic look into your home. Here are 5 simple tips to incorporate rattan into your home decor.
Use a Rattan Chair or Bench in the Entryway
A chair or bench by the front door provides a place for family members and guests to sit and put on shoes. Rattan is a great material for entryway furniture because it’s lightweight yet durable enough to withstand repeated use. Choose either a natural or woven rattan chair or bench in brown or black tones that complement your existing decor.
A small rattan bench with sturdy legs is a versatile option that anchors the entryway. Use baskets underneath to corral shoes, bags and keys. An open armchair provides enough space to sit and slip on shoes comfortably.
Add a Rattan Coffee or Side Table
A small rattan side table provides an instant surface for lamps, drinks, books and decor pieces. The natural material works well in living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms and sun rooms.
Opt for tables with solid, airy rattan baskets as the base and a glass, wood or metal top to balance the organic design. Circular or oval shapes are classic options that work with most styles. Look for a smaller side table that fits snugly next to a couch or armchair and a longer console style table that fits behind a sofa.
Choose a Rattan Dining Set
A rattan dining set instantly elevates any dining space with a natural and exotic aesthetic. Rattan dining chairs are comfortable yet breathable with open weave or curved backs. They complement wood and metal dining tables or create a cohesive organic dining room look when fully matched.
Natural rattan dining chairs age beautifully so you can choose solid traditional designs or sleek modern styles. Mix and match chair heights, textures and patterns for visual interest. Consider a curved rattan sectional that functions as extra seating when not dining.
Invest in a Rattan Lounge Chair or Couch
A lounge chair or sectional in rich, dark rattan adds instant warmth and lush texture to living rooms, sunrooms or home offices. Curved and rounded designs mimic the organic shape of rattan itself. Woven rattan creates a more airy, open feel while solid rattan feels sturdier and traditional.
Choose lounge chairs with deep seat cushioning for optimal comfort along with back pillows in coordinating fabrics. Sectional sofas provide flexible seating arrangements. Anchor a rattan lounge chair in a corner for an inviting focal point or place one on each side of a rattan coffee table for design symmetry.
Hang Rattan Wall Decor
Simple rattan wall hangings, baskets and trays bring subtle texture, organic lines and warm tones to bare walls. Opt for rectangular or circular rattan shapes in varying sizes for visual balance. Hang them in groupings for impact or place a single, larger wall hanging above a rattan chair or table.
Natural baskets and trays in solid or woven designs also provide extra storage for books, blankets or plants.Attach them to the wall at varying heights for visual interest and tie rattan furniture pieces together. Just ensure wall hooks and hanging devices are strong enough to support the weight.
Here are some additional details regarding incorporating rattan furniture into your home:
- Rattan comes in a variety of styles from traditional to modern. Look for solid rattan furniture made from stronger cane or woven rattan with a more airy design. Both work well in different settings.
- Rattan pairs nicely with natural materials like wood and stone. It also coordinates well with metal, glass and leather for a more eclectic look.
- Dark stained or black rattan pieces offer a more modern look while natural unfinished rattan feels more traditional and organic. Bronze tones fall in the middle.
- Rattan furniture is very durable. With proper care, it can last for decades. Simply vacuum or dust regularly and periodically treat with furniture oil to maintain the finish.
- Rattan furniture is naturally comfortable due to its flexible cane material. However, natural cane will sag and form to the body over time giving it an antique look.
- Rattan adds visual interest and texture that other furniture materials can't mimic. The natural variations in cane thickness and knots and the woven texture create a beautiful handcrafted aesthetic.
- Start small with one or two rattan accent pieces to test out the look before committing to a full rattan set. Then expand slowly as your budget allows.
- Consider using outdoor rattan furniture indoors during warmer months for extra seating. Then store it or use outdoors during colder seasons.
Hope these additional details provide more insight into how rattan furniture can bring natural beauty and organic charm into your home. Let me know if you have any other questions.
