Rattan, bamboo and wicker

Rattan, bamboo and wicker furniture have become defining elements of today’s most inviting interiors—valued for their warmth, texture, and timeless appeal. Rooted in mid-century design, these natural materials are once again finding their place in modern homes, offering a balance of comfort, craftsmanship, and understated style. Our latest collection brings together a considered selection of these pieces, designed to sit effortlessly within both contemporary and traditional spaces.

Picture a room—or perhaps a series of rooms—you instinctively long to retreat to. A place to curl up with a book, to gather with close friends, to spend unhurried time with family. While each of us imagines something different, the feeling is often the same: interiors that are welcoming, layered, and quietly refined—often anchored by tactile, natural materials such as rattan and wicker.

These spaces rarely come together all at once. Instead, they evolve over time—each piece adding depth and meaning, reflecting the lives of those who inhabit them. A woven chair here, a cane-fronted cabinet there—elements that not only serve a purpose, but bring texture and character to a room. There is, too, a natural pull towards materials that feel honest and grounding; textures that connect us to the world outside and create a sense of calm indoors.

It’s no surprise, then, that the materials favoured by mid-century designers—rattan, bamboo, wicker, bentwood and cane—are once again in demand. In recent years, vintage and rattan furniture in particular has seen a strong resurgence, with many looking to invest in pieces that feel both timeless and considered. These materials combine warmth, sustainability, and versatility, working effortlessly across living spaces, bedrooms, conservatories and covered outdoor areas. In UK homes especially, where natural light can be limited, lighter-toned materials such as wicker can help to lift and brighten a space—something we’ve embraced across our newest arrivals.

What Defines Mid-Century Modern Style?

Mid-century modern design, inspired by the 1940s–1960s, remains one of the most popular interior styles—and for good reason.

Key features include:

• Clean lines and uncluttered silhouettes
• Tapered legs and raised frames
• Functional, understated design
• A focus on craftsmanship and quality

What makes mid-century furniture so appealing today is its ability to blend seamlessly into both contemporary and traditional homes. It adds character without overwhelming a space.

How to Style Rattan & Mid-Century Furniture in Your Home

Bringing these styles into your home doesn’t require a full redesign. A few well-chosen pieces can completely transform a room.

Living Rooms

Introduce a rattan accent chair or a mid-century coffee table to create a focal point. Pair with soft furnishings like neutral cushions or a textured throw to balance the look.

Bedrooms

Rattan headboards or bedside tables add a relaxed, boutique-hotel feel. Combine with crisp white bedding and warm wood tones for a calming retreat.

Conservatories & Garden Rooms

This is where rattan truly shines. Lightweight, breathable, and natural, it’s perfect for creating a laid-back indoor-outdoor space.

Hallways & Smaller Spaces

Mid-century consoles or compact storage pieces are ideal for adding function without bulk—keeping spaces feeling open and uncluttered.

Why Natural Materials Are Here to Stay

Interior trends may come and go, but natural materials have lasting appeal.

Rattan and wood offer:

• Durability and longevity
• A more sustainable alternative to mass-produced furniture
• A tactile, organic quality that enhances everyday living

As more homeowners move away from fast furniture, investing in well-made, timeless pieces is becoming the priority.

Trend watch

Rattan, wicker, and mid-century furniture aren’t just passing trends—they’re part of a broader move towards more thoughtful, character-driven interiors.

By combining natural textures with classic design, you can create a home that feels both current and timeless.
