La Grange Interiors: 8 Reasons To Love Rattan Furniture

Most certainly not a new trend, but indoor rattan furniture, still holds true as a hot and happening trend in the world of design today. It’s one of those timeless crafts that will just always be a welcome part of our lives and homes!

In fact, rattan furniture has been around for a very long time, and it remains popular today. Why? Well, let’s take a look at 8 reasons to love this trend right now…

Lightweight

In modern homes, where space and functionality are limited, lightweight furniture is a God-send. This is true for rattan pieces which are not only lightweight but usually easy to move around. This makes rattan ideal for apartment owners and those who like to rearrange their furniture seasonally.

Hello Boho

Rattan gives us a natural Bohemian vibe. It fits in well with many design styles, but our favourite is a combination of styles in one eclectic Boho space. Whether you bring in a rattan chair, console, mirror, or more, there is always room for rattan in a fun and Bohemian inspired room.

Eco-friendly

We are all for saving the planet and taking better care of our resources. Rattan is a great example of eco-friendly materials that last. Rattan is a type of plant that grows in hot and humid areas like Southeast Asia. It’s good for the environment because it’s easy to turn rattan into furniture without using fancy machines or factories. On the contrary, skilled workers can make it into furniture using simple tools. Rattan grows very quickly too, about 2cm per day, so it’s ready to use for furniture after just 2-3 years, which is faster than other types of wood.

Durability

Rattan, similar to solid wood, is also known as an eco-friendly option due to its durability. You can expect a well-made piece of rattan furniture to last upwards of 10 years.

Versatile

Indoor rattan furniture is available in many different styles and types of pieces, including armchairs, sofas, coffee tables, and even bed frames. Some pieces are made entirely of rattan, while others may have rattan accents or be combined with other materials such as wood or metal.

Organic

Rattan furniture has a natural, organic look that can add warmth and texture to any room.

Comfort:

If you’re looking for comfy seating then rattan may be a good choice. In fact, rattan furniture can be made with cushions or padding to provide extra comfort, making it a great option for lounging or relaxing.

Low maintenance:

Rattan furniture is relatively low maintenance and can be cleaned with a damp cloth or vacuumed to remove dust and debris.

From the bedroom to the living room, rattan will suit almost any space and can add texture, character and warmth to your design.
