Arriving on the scene in the 1970s, durable yet lightweight rattan initially made a name for itself in the world of outdoor furniture. But fast forward fifty years, and it’s no longer just confined to porches and patios; it’s officially woven its way into our homes (and hearts!).
Due to its ability to be woven, painted and styled in a multitude of ways, versatile rattan fits seamlessly into many different decor styles. After a sleek yet functional bit of furniture for a mid-century or contemporary Nordic inspired room? Consider a dark wooden sideboard with tightly woven rattan door panels. Need to add a little more individuality to a boho setting? Enhance the eclectic feel by draping a fluffy white throw over a flower patterned woven chair for a quirky yet comfortable centrepiece.
To help you embrace the rattan revival, here’s nine woven home accessories and furniture items that we’re pretty obsessed with.

A sleek and modern twist on typically sandy-toned rattan, we love the sleek edge that the chic black colour brings to this otherwise Bohemian mirror.
