Now summer is rolling around you might be thinking about making some simple changes at home. The dark evenings are long gone and with more natural light bouncing around, it’s time to box up cosy bedding, throws, rugs and heavy furniture in favour of something that vibes with the sunshine.
Switching up the materials and fabrics you use inside your home, as well as outside on your patio or in the garden, is a quick and relatively affordable way to create a new look and feel to your space for just a few months, and without calling in the tradesmen. With our best rattan picks, it’ll be easy to stay as in deeply in love with your home as you’ve always been, and keep it on-trend and feeling fresh.
Bedroom
Adding a little rattan in the bedroom does wonders for our morning mood. Who wouldn’t want to wake up feeling like you’re on holiday? Go big with the Malu Rattan Cane Headboard to really make a splash. Add it to any double bed base for instant cool. For a slightly more subtle nod, try these Malu Vintage Rattan Bedside Tables, with plenty of storage and openwork to help keep small space light, they’re fab for a smaller bedroom.

The Waska Rattan Oak Console Table is a fantastic way to add a modern, on-trend touch to tricky spaces like hallways and corridors. With plenty of storage and a slim footprint, it’s a versatile buy. The Waska Oak and Rattan TV Unit can help you introduce hints of different materials into a more traditional room, with an oak frame and rattan doors. The black legs are a stylish, modern detail too. If you’re not 100% on board yet, but want to dip your toe in to see how it feels, a rattan mirror is a sound way to try your luck with something new – we love the versatility of the AM.PM Tarsile Square Rattan Mirror which adds an exotic touch on its own or in a grid layout with 3 others.
Kids
Don’t forget the little’uns, either! Rattan is the perfect material to plump for if traditional children’s furniture isn’t really your thing. This AM.PM Katsuki Child's Rattan Bed would work perfectly with a jungle or safari theme and add a bit more character to a kids’ space than the usual suspects. Add fun touches with details like the AM.PM Mane Mirror with Fringed Rattan Frame too!
Storage
Lastly, simple storage solutions in lighter, carefree rattan offer a taste of the trend without any big commitments. We love the AM.PM Brazil Medium Woven Storage Basket for hiding your clutter. Try a mix of shades and shapes to add interest and use them for everything from laundry to plants. These Malu Vintage Style Shelves in Rattan Cane ooze 70s glamour and are made to fit vases, books and house plants perfectly.
