At Indesign Furniture, our team are always researching new and trending furniture and decor to ensure that we remain stylish as ever. As minimalistic and neutral style preferences continue to take over homes in the UK, the Scandinavian style remains sought after.
Rattan furniture is amongst this trend, due to it being lightweight, durable and creating a natural touch to home décor. Rattan is a tropical vine that is then peeled, dried and woven to create comfortable and stylish furniture. No matter the style and current décor pieces in your home, rattan furniture is bound to add an extra element of warmth and homeliness, due to the many different types of rattan.
Rattan Furniture is incredibly vestiture being used as bedframes, mirrors, chairs and even lampshades, meaning it's easy to add elements to existing décor choices. Traditional rattan can add contrast to an otherwise dark room due to its light colouring, creating a fresh and spacious atmosphere. No matter the style preference of your house, rattan can be used to enhance this; from coastal, Scandinavian and shabby chic to contemporary, rattan can add an element of texture that your home has been missing!
Another perk to purchasing rattan furniture is that it's generally a comfortable material, with chairs coming with deep backs and malleable seats. Rattan furniture is traditionally a common choice for garden furniture, as its naturally waterproof and dull in colour. These properties are extremely useful inside a home as well, which contributes to the increased popularity of rattan furniture. Cleaning rattan furniture is also in general low maintenance, we advise going over the weaves of the furniture with a light brush to avoid dust build-up. The general public is also more aware of sustainable products, which may also have a direct effect on the popularity of rattan furniture and solid wooden furniture in general. Rattan furniture grows an average of 2cm a day, making it highly renewable, and is a material that does not require extensive manufacturing facilities to create the final product.
