I've always enjoyed looking for rattan furniture, it's a sort of passion of mine. The combination of wonderful, light, stylish furniture and my love for all things from the rain forest is my ideal world. Furniture which is made from rattan is known for its flexibility and durability. Indeed the rattan palm that spawns the strands and rattan stems used for this type of furniture is very strong.
Rattan furniture itself originates from the magnificent tropical regions in Africa including parts of South and South East Asia. Like the palm itself the rattan strands are slender and very graceful. They are flexible enough to be woven into tight weaves which are normally seen in rattan and wicker seating, as well as sturdy tables and durable storage chests.
Dining chairs and garden sun loungers are made from rattan. They are curved in shape which support the contour of the body and are usually made with a chunky wicker weave base for extra stability. Modern furniture designed using rattan is extremely practical and very comfortable, noted for its style.
Many of my friends also like rattan and have furniture items made from it in their own homes. Some choose it as dining sets and upright chairs placed around a warm wooden table. Other friends buy rattan furniture for their conservatories. Their cubed basket styled loungers and sofas are wonderful to relax on.
Rattan furniture is ideal for every room in the house. You could if you wish put a circular wicker chair in the bathroom or bedroom to place clothing on while bathing. A rattan storage chest is perfect for a child's bedroom. It has individual basket drawers which can double up to hold the little one's clothes and toys.
The beauty of rattan is that it seems ageless and is so very adaptable. It certainly suits my Victorian living room and also my friend's quaint Art Deco designed home. Rattan looks fantastic when used in tandem with Tiffany lampshades, seen in so many American diners. It also livens up country style bathrooms with its beautiful natural wood effect.
Beautiful plain mirrors along with plain frames or ornate designs placed on the walls can reflect the cool lines of rattan furniture. They always make any room look larger as well as chic, ensuring your home is so much more attractive. Visitors to your home will appreciate it even more when they see the styles of rattan furniture so tastefully displayed.
Rattan furniture is certainly worth taking your time over before actually making a purchase. There is nothing stopping you going shopping in the High Street or large retail parks. You will be able to see many selections of rattan furniture. However the downside to this is, you may have to drive or take public transport a long way to see what is available. It is therefore so much easier to surf the net from home. You'll be able to see a huge variety of rattan furniture, so enjoy your shopping!
