Rattan isn't just for outdoor furniture anymore. You might associate this material with your grandma's house, but rattan furniture is having a moment. And we're here for it. It's versatile, durable and can take just about any room to the next level.
Before we dive deeper, let's get clear on rattan. It's not the same as wicker. Wicker is a type of weave, whereas rattan refers to the actual material itself, a flexible, fibrous plant. We've long used its pliable stems to make furniture because it's both lightweight and durable. Today, not all rattan-style furniture uses actual rattan – but we'll forgive it because the whole point of synthetic rattan is to protect the natural environment in which rattan grows.
If you've been looking for furniture that packs a punch aesthetically but doesn't add a ton of visual weight to your space, rattan is for you. Let's look at some of the various ways you can use rattan furniture to set the tone of a room.
