The rattan chair could be considered the accent chair of 2023! Rattan strikes a perfect balance between timeless and on par with current style trends.
Rattan is a flexible stem of a palm plant, and its hard and durable qualities make it a popular choice for chic furniture. Rattan is not just for the beach- if you are looking to toe the line between both relaxed and refined, rattan is for you!

Can rattan be used outside?
While rattan accent chairs are commonly used indoors, some designs are suitable for outdoor spaces like patios, porches and open sunrooms. Natural rattan will grow moldy outdoors over time when left in wet or humid elements, while coated rattan allows it to last outside. Consider your specific rattan, and the specific weather and environment of your location when making a purchase.
In a living or bedroom full of upholstery, an accent of different material is a welcome addition. Since rattan is a natural material derived from plants; its’ versatility allows it to seamlessly blends with various interior design styles.
Choose cushions with colors and patterns that complement your existing decor. They can be an opportunity to add a pop of color or tie in with the overall color scheme.
Don’t be afraid to combine rattan accent chairs with other materials like wood, metal, or upholstery. Mixing textures adds depth and interest to your space.
Casual, coastal sunrooms? You bet. Sophisticated spaces? The right kind of rattan chair can play formally, with upholstered furniture too! So, when you’re looking to create a cozy reading nook or a conversation corner consider using a natural material like rattan for your accent chairs.
