The rattan look is this year’s hottest interior design trend. Rattan is no longer considered outdated – it has once again become a firm favourite when creating a modern interior.  As we become more aware of our environment, it’s not surprising that we are starting to look again at the natural, organic benefits of rattan furniture.  Combine this with its versatility – rattan can be stylishly incorporated into any room within your home – and it’s clear this trend is here to stay. 

Want to style your home with rattan furniture? Here’s how to match the latest wallpapers with rattan for a fabulous interior.

Rattan furniture is incredibly versatile meaning you can create a range of luxury interior design looks by simply incorporating a touch of rattan decor into your space. From an organic natural interior scheme all the way through to a glamorous statement interior, rattan can create your fashionable interior decor look for years to come. 

If you are creating a maximalist rattan look, why not style your home with an eclectic Bohemian decor by mixing a designer wallpaper with a bold pattern, different textured fabrics and statement rattan elements.  Incorporate  wicker hanging baskets filled with trailing green plants and a rattan chair with a patterned cushion to complete the quirky Boho look.

Or use rattan to introduce a fresh coastal vibe into your home.  The natural composition of rattan lends itself to creating the coastal look –  imagine smooth and sun bleached driftwood washed up in the beach and the long coastal grasses swaying in the breeze. Take yourself there with this stunning beach wallpaper mural complemented with an accent rattan chair –  you can almost feel that warm sea breeze on your face and the sand between your toes.

Rattan furniture, say hi to Cherry Blossom wallpaper

Rattan furniture is a return to nature.  Made from natural palm strands , the classic rattan woven look is instantly recognizable.  Often left in its natural state, the warm, earthy rattan colour palette means it can be paired beautifully with many designer wallpapers. 

Go as big or small as you feel comfortable with the rattan trend. As rattan is a natural element, you can introduce large key pieces into a room, such as a rattan chair, without it overpowering a space. Or introduce the rattan feel with small decorative elements such as a rattan planter or rattan basket as a stylish storage solution.

The key décor look – Chinoiserie wallpaper and the rattan chair

Rattan furniture comes in many forms but the key piece is the rattan chair. A rattan chair is fortunately both comfortable and stylish! But you can choose from a wide choice of rattan chair shapes.  When looking to incorporate a chair into your interior, think of its scale. Perhaps you are looking for a small backless wicker stool to use at a dressing table, that can be tucked away after use. Or rattan chairs can work perfectly in a kitchen setting as a set of high backed bar stools at a kitchen island.

Combine trends – mix rattan with shabby chic wallpaper

We love rattan furniture for its natural feel. But why not take it to the next level with a distressed designer wallpaper to complete the organic look. Take inspiration from the rattan itself and colour match your interior to your rattan furniture.  The textural, layered look of a shabby chic wallpaper lends itself to the rattan look – the cream and brown shabby chic wallpaper tones work perfectly with a dark rattan chair. 

Choose bamboo wallpaper and rattan to get the indoor/outdoor look

It’s true, rattan furniture is a stylish and practical choice for your garden.  But what about bringing the outdoors in with the rattan look? Choose a nature wallpaper to mimic the feel of the outdoors – why not go for bamboo leaves and oversize floral motifs – and tie the look together with rattan furniture. This bamboo wallpaper mural features oversize abstract bamboo leaves. Styling this mural with a rattan chair and lamp shade will create a relaxing outdoor feel in the comfort of your home.

Style an abstract wallpaper with rattan for a statement bedroom

Rattan furniture is not as heavy as classic hardwood furniture so naturally lends itself to a relaxing sleep space. Here you can opt for a large rattan statement piece without it dominating your room.  A rattan headboard creates a dramatic focal point against an abstract wallpaper without being too overbearing.

When creating a modern bathroom, introduce a few key rattan accessories rather than rattan furniture to complete the look.
