Raging Rattan Resurgence. - 5 picks to bring rattan into your space!

Bring out the boho. and baskets! Rattan is back! Here’s how to add this throwback trend into your humble abode.

Let’s break down the rattan trend. See what kind of ‘rattan moment’ you can add in amongst the rest of your home decor and make it all feel and look ‘right.’

Because let’s be real, your first thought of rattan are those vintage 70s hanging baskets up in your grandma’s balcony. Which can look amazing today! in a coastal bungalow. But, in a contemporary apartment on the 8th floor in metropolitan Melbourne? Maybe not! - however you do you boo! 😉 Rock that boho urban outfitters home babe look!

However, if thats not your vibe, here’s my top shop-able items for you to choose from to help out incorporating this hot rattan moment in amongst a wide variety of styles.

Antique Beech Wood & Rattan Dining Chairs

These beauties are the perfect balance. Throwing in ‘a little bit of spice.’ Bentwood is a classic style that’s not going anywhere any time soon! Its tre-chic. And we all know anything French or Scandi. is a crowd pleaser. Speaking of Scandi, this colour palette of light ash blonde timber is a Scandi classic and a perfect shade for most spaces.

Where i’d place these?

I’d work the chairs into a dining set, be large or small. Alternatively, I have been one to use these chairs as a side table. A spare room side table if you need the drawer storage. They look gorgeous with a stack of mags and vessel. These will look good in homes from seashore to city. So get on in on these bad boys! and fulfil that rattan itch.

Comores Bar Trolley

So, this cart is within the realm of your Grandma’s hanging baskets (which are still cute!) BUT! I feel like a bar cart is more workable across the board. Because it’s a functional accent item, made to make an impression. So you can get away with this in a variety of styles of home. Not to mention, serves a great purpose. Storing BOOZE! PLANTS! or BOTH!

I love the integrity this piece has in keeping the traditional nature of rattan pieces. It certainly looks eclectic and not so ‘repo.’ (by that I mean it doesn’t look like a super fake reproduction, plastic mess)

Where/how I’d style this?

In my living room, next to the sofa as a side table, or up against a wall acting in place of a sideboard. Place some artwork, trailing plants and a couple of vintage crystal glass decanters and you my dear, have one epic eclectic show piece! Be it in your apartment, beach house or outer suburban home,

NEWFIELD BENCH SEAT | BLACK + NATURAL RATTAN SEAT

A bench is a moment that everyone should try and have up in their space.

A good fit for those of you who are bit more of a contemporary chic kinda mover and shaker, I’d recommend a black and natural rattan combo!

Black instantly takes that bo-ho beach house relaxed vibe, and pushes it up into elevated and understated sophistication. Right? you see it, I know you do 😉

However, Im not too big on a complete black set. by all means, go for it. But, I feel like the rattan gets lost. So you could have essentially had a regular black bench instead of forking out a bit more for a rattan moment no ones going to notice/see. So keep it a natural + black combo! make that rattan moment POP!

Where/how I’d style this?

Style in front of your bed, your front entryway or dining table. Work those layers! add baskets, books, blankets and make this furniture piece be the cake topper amongst a gorgeous vignette. (Psst! ‘vignette’ is just a boujee word for ‘a moment’ incase you lost me 😉 )

Lazie Rattan Cane & Teak Queen Bedhead

A simple addition of elevated sophistication. Am I right? (Rhetorical question. I KNOW this is something we’d all appreciate in our space.)

A gorgeous Copenhagen minimalist approach to the rattan weave trend. A simplistic bedhead that can be easily installed and transform you bedroom to a Master suite ✨

What/how I’d style this bed?

I’d do a contrast bedding moment. So a lighter toned sheet set, paired with a darker duvet set. Be it charcoal, natural and white, green and mint, white and fog.

Paloma Coffee Table

Okay, so this is TECHNICALLY bamboo! but! honestly, jute, rattan, seagrass are all the same at this point. All natural materials that add warmth and ground a space that everyone should have in their space somewhere. So forgive me! But, this is the best table that fits this trend!

Round shapes are everywhere, and this coffee table instantly brings an effortless balance of ‘ boho meets sophistication.’ An ‘all-rounder.’ Something that you can pass down and cherish for a lifetime. Sure, its kind of suited to a more coastal, bungalow kind of space. but! I reckon this could easily be placed within an inner city home and fit! And lets be honest, if you’ve got this kind of budget, you’re not afraid to swap things around and be more on the trendier side of the interior market.

Finito! done! and dusted!

Hope you have found this read useful and assisted with looking at this rattan resurgence. A bit of inspo that goes beyond the token Nonna hanging planter! 😉
