Rattan furniture is the way to go if you want an effortlessly chic bohemian look for your home this summer.


Rattan furniture is where it’s at. For a while now we’ve seen natural textures like bamboo and rattan in bleached neutral tones making their way from the Instagram feeds of travel bloggers in Marrakesh, Bali and Tulum to decor trend reports in the UK – and we like it.

Look at the hashtag #RattanFurniture or take a scroll through some of our favourite homeware brands and you’ll see that natural furnishings are big news, evoking a bright and beachy feel.

From retro-inspired caddies and shelves to rattan storage solutions, add a bit of sunshine to your home with these effortlessly cool interior pieces. Mix with big, lush green plants and different shades of terracotta and burnt orange accenting accessories to complete a modern-vintage look that is perfect for summer.
