It was all the rage in the 70s: rattan chairs, rattan baskets and rattan outdoor furniture. A trend many thought was gone for good, rattan has made a comeback over 50 years on and is now bigger than ever. Made from woven wood, rattan has a warm, laidback look that emulates a brimming beach bar on a tropical holiday. It’s the perfect way to weave texture and warmth into your space, creating a home holiday vibe all year round.
Whether you class your interior decor as traditional, boho chic, maximalist or ultra-modern, there are ways you can incorporate rattan furniture into any style of bedroom. From essential storage options to smaller furniture pieces, we’ve compiled 15 of the best rattan bedroom furniture ideas to help you successfully incorporate this material into your space.
How do I style my home with rattan?
Consider the overarching style and theme of your bedroom before deciding how to include rattan furniture. Rattan is synonymous with bohemian design, meaning it wouldn’t look out of place to include a wide range of rattan furniture in a bohemian-inspired bedroom. On the other hand, if you have a traditional-style home, you’d want to pare this back to rattan accents, for example, so that it doesn’t overpower your existing decor.
What colours and materials go well with rattan?
Rattan wood is neutral in colour so consider pairing it with similar earthy tones (think burnt orange, mustard and coffee brown). Light, neutral palettes and sweet pastels also blend seamlessly with the warmth of rattan. If colour is more your thing, why not paint your rattan furniture in bold colours to match your maximalist taste?
When it comes to materials, we recommend styling your rattan furniture with other types of wood and natural textiles for a soft, warm vibe. Other natural textures that work harmoniously with rattan include seagrass, bamboo, linen and cotton. Finish off your natural bedroom aesthetic with some blooming houseplants for a totally tropical look.
