Five ways to style rattan
12th April 2023

Natural materials and earthy tones play a big part in our Florentine Collection and provide the perfect backdrop to Spring Summer living. Our rattan collection has been designed by Birdie and the team in Norfolk, and carefully hand crafted by skilled artisans in Indonesia and India from a blend of wild and sustainably farmed rattan. It is an incredibly versatile material and one which ages beautifully - we have used it across lighting, furniture, dining, and decorative accessories to bring our customers a unique and carefully curated range. Bring texture into your home this season and follow for five ways to style rattan in your interior.

Outdoor Living

The new Mid-century inspired Rattan Furniture has been thoughtfully designed by Birdie and the team to balance perfectly with the colourful textiles of the Florentine Collection. With clean lines and an organic form, the furniture has a contemporary twist, whilst the natural materials used add textural interest and depth to any interior. Versatile in design, the rattan furniture can be enjoyed both indoors and out - style the Rattan Sun Lounger, Bowl Chair or Sofa in your garden or in an orangery with Florentine cushions, a Rattan Hurricane and a Rattan Deck Table for the ultimate outdoor living ensemble.

Tranquil Textures

Incorporate organic texture into your bedroom for a serene, nature-inspired scheme. With a checked woven finish and soft scallop shape, our new Rattan Headboards are a celebration of nature and expert craftsmanship, designed to sit alongside other pieces from our Rattan Furniture Range or mixed with upholstered, painted or polished furniture. Introducing a woven headboard is perfect for adding visual interest to an otherwise pared back bedroom interior - combine rattan with soft linens and muted tones for a light and airy feel, perfect for the summer months. Alternatively, use rattan accents to tone down a pattern-heavy scheme - we love to style our Rattan Headboard and Side Table with an abundance of Florentine soft furnishings to bring balance and harmony to an eclectic interior. 

Rustic Dining

Our new rattan dining accessories are the perfect rustic addition to any dining scheme, whether patterned up or pared back. Our Rattan Placemats and Napkin Rings are handwoven in Indonesia and are made from incredibly hard-wearing and durable rattan. The rattan adds a wonderful earthiness to any tablescape, whilst the colourful dyed border adds a playful pop of colour which is perfect for Spring / Summer dining. Style these rattan dining accessories on a Santa Croce Tablecloth with a flower-filled Pentola Cotton Mache Vase for a fun, elevated look, or on a bare wooden table with a Rattan Hurricane for informal alfresco dining.

Artisanal Accents

Rattan works wonderfully in both contemporary and traditional interiors and can be seamlessly styled to suit various interior tastes. Introduce subtle accents of rattan in your home for an overall artisanal look with our Rattan Mirror, Trays, Hurricanes and Lamp bases. Designed to work bedside or in living rooms, our Rattan Table Lamps and Rattan Urn Lamps are staples for this season - pair them with a geometric lampshade for a contemporary look or with a coordinating Seema or Paper Raffia Shade for a relaxed but refined finish in a neutral scheme. Our Italian-inspired decorative accessories will bring a stunning, mediterranean feel to your summer scheme and can be used both indoors on a coffee or dining table, or outside on a rattan deck table. 

Make a statement

Use rattan to make a statement in your space and bring a scheme to life. Generous in size, our Rattan Pendant Shade is perfect for elevating any room and works particularly well when styled in pairs down the centre of a dining table or kitchen island for a clean and contemporary look. The pendant shade is finished with a chic brass base and ceiling chain, whilst the rattan allows light to gently diffuse through to create a soft and warm glow.

Our Rattan Coffee Table is another great statement piece - style it in a living room with a vase of seasonal flowers, a stack of magazines and a scented candle, or use it as an ottoman at the end of a bed strewn with printed cushions and throws.
