Hi friends. I hope Mother’s day was amazing for all you moms. I wasn’t able to spend the day with my mom but made sure she felt loved and pampered from afar.
I’m popping in today to share at little info and inspiration for one of my favorite furniture styles–rattan. And because I want to you have the 411 on rattan, here’s a little background info.
Rattan furniture has been around for thousands of years but gained its popularity during the Victorian era. While many people think of wicker furniture when they think of rattan, they are in fact two different things. Rattan is a material that comes from the rattan plant and wicker is the method of weaving woven materials together.
One of the reasons I love this furniture style is because of the organic but refined vibe it has. Just like a little black dress, it can be dressed up or dressed down and works beautifully with every design style.
When mixed with traditional decor, rattan adds a sense of refined casualness. And in casual, informal room settings, it can add an eclectic, hand-crafted feel to the space.
Since rattan is a natural plant fiber that is very durable, it is also a great design option for covered outdoor spaces.

Here’s a round up some of my favorite rattan pieces ranging in price from $69 up to $600.

1// With or without a cushion, this chair is a great style for a sunroom or causal living space. And its affordable at just $98.
2// I love this more classic styling of this armchair and could envision a pair of these in a living room, library or den. The darker finish gives this chair a more formal fee. $299.99
