Weaving its way into the hearts and homes of many is the rattan trend. This naturally textured material brings an effortless simplicity to any application, making it a favourite for those seeking a casual but stylish aesthetic. If you’re looking to incorporate this durable material in your home, here are some ways you can make your rattan dreams come true.

Choose statement furniture
When it comes to selecting furniture to feed your rattan appetite, it’s important to choose wisely because these items aren’t always the easiest to replace. If you’re too scared of commitment just yet, we’ve got a few options for you later in this piece.
However, for those rattan fiends who want to incorporate it with confidence, we recommend starting with the bathroom. Vanities are the centrepiece of your bathroom and deserve to be seen.
So, if you’re in love with the natural beauty of rattan and want to create magic – look no further than the Boca Vanity by Marquis. Available in multiple configurations, Boca is the answer to timeless, effortless design and will create the perfect bohemian accent for your space.

Find the right fixtures and fittings
Another perfect way to incorporate rattan into your home is through your fixtures and fittings. Think lighting, door handles and pulls. A feature rattan light fitting can create soft, filtered light for your space, making you feel instantly relaxed. And who doesn’t want to feel relaxed at home? Our clients chose a rattan pendant for their kitchen and it fits perfectly in the space, complementing the brushed copper ABI tapware and timber accents throughout.
In a more subtle way, you can introduce rattan through your door handles and pulls. Whether you’re seeking a coastal, bohemian or country style look, rattan handles can be the only accent you need to complete your look.

Complete your space with accessories and décor
Remember when I said there are styling options available to you if you’re slightly afraid of committing to the big pieces? Well, here we are. The easiest and most affordable way to incorporate rattan in your home is by selecting rattan décor pieces. Mirrors, wall art, and baskets are some of the best pieces that will help you achieve your rattan dreams.
We love the way interior stylist and friend of GT&B, Julia Green, used woven baskets in her recent laundry renovation. Not only are these baskets a colourful statement piece in this space, but they’re also practical and can be moved anywhere in the home to create stylish storage or a place for your indoor plants to live.
