What is rattan?

A climbing vine-like species of palm, rattan is a fast-growing tropical plant which grows prolifically in Indonesia, the Phillipines, and other areas of South East Asia. It grows in the shape of a pole which varies in size, and is regarded one of the strongest woods, growing as high as 30 metres.

Rattan is perfect for all seasons and its versatility lends itself to interior and alfresco spaces. Mixing rattan alongside plaid & wools cushions in cooler months brings a rustic warmth, whereas styling it amongst cottons and canvas provides a relaxed and cooling space in the warmer seasons due to its lightweight and breathable structure.

Rattan lightens the atmosphere of even the grandest architecture and is associated with exotic travel destinations to understated farmhouses and is a perfect addition to counterbalance fine art and antiques.

Rattan styling ideas

For a bolder statement
Opt for antique brown rattan with navy, charcoal and plaid colourways paired with richer materials such as leather, heavy-weight linen and timber. For an industrial twist, achieve a more rustic look using dark-stained rattan paired with raw concrete, exposed brick and metal accents. Introduce vintage finds such as old trunks and rattan storage furniture to add character.

For a Hamptons & Coastal feel
Pair whitewash rattan with white, oatmeal and blue colourways, along with lighter materials such as bleached wood, coral and driftwood. Create an airy ambience by pairing your rattan furniture with organic materials like bamboo, flax linen, and jute. Introduce some greenery for a lush look, such as palm leaves, a fiddle leaf fig, or hydrangeas.

For a minimal & Urban feel

For a minimal and urban feel, opt for grey-wash rattan and pair it with complementary materials of iron, stone, reclaimed timber, and concrete. For a contemporary feel, pair rattan alongside items with reflection, such as mirrors, glass vases, and glossy ceramics.

• Make sure the furniture is kept out of direct sunlight for extended periods of time. This will help prevent fading and cracking of the rattan over time.

• Avoid putting any liquids or damp items on the furniture as this may cause damage to the material.

• To clean your rattan furniture, use a damp cloth and mild detergent. Wipe the surface of the furniture in a circular motion to remove dirt and dust. Be sure not to rub too hard or use abrasive brushes, as this could damage the material.

• Once you’ve finished cleaning, simply wipe down with a dry cloth to remove any remaining moisture.

• To give your rattan pieces some added protection, you can apply boiled linseed oil with a paintbrush to help protect the material and give it some shine.

• With proper care and maintenance, your rattan furniture can last for many years.
