The contemporary look is out and bohemian vibes are now in. There’s no better way to capture a beachy vibe than with rattan furniture, because who doesn’t want to feel like they’re on holiday?
Back in the ’70s, rattan furniture was hot. All of your grandparents had a rattan-made lounger in their backyard, but nowadays the trend has moved inside. No longer seen as retro, rattan furniture oozes a beachy, boho and sometimes rustic vibe.
The reason why rattan used to be seen as outdoor furniture was because of its durability. Similar in appearance to bamboo, rattan is solid where bamboo is not, and it’s much heavier.
Rattan home decor can suit any coloured room, but if you’re gunning for that holiday resort vibe, you’ll want to stick to neutral tones or white.
So, hold onto your macrame wall hangings and buckle up for a tour of these must-have rattan furniture pieces so you can transform your home into a coastal retreat.
