But there’s more to the material and wicker-like pattern than coastal style. As one of the pillars of ‘90s interior design, rattan also has a nostalgic feel. However, this new crop of rattan furniture is much sleeker than you may remember. Instead of being breezy, with plush cushioned seating, chairs feature rattan structures for a touch of texture. Similarly, rattan cabinets take a modern approach with chic brass knobs, glass panels, or contrasting colors.

Rattan furniture is no longer just for patios and beach houses. If you’re looking to dip your toes into the trend, there are lots of ways to bring this stylish material into your home. Below, we’ve gathered five unique pieces to embrace rattan furniture with style.
This chair uses rattan as a feature element rather than the star. But don't be fooled; it still makes a bold statement. The rattan detailing exists only on the arms of the chair but it is more than enough to stand out in any room. Paired with premium upholstery and a rich mustard color, the Bella Accent Chair has an elegant and inviting look.
This accent chair features a retro shape, with a rattan-wrapped frame for a nostalgic look. The curved design mimics traditional barrel chairs and showcases how stunning the fluid silhouette can be, while the clean upholstery gives it a modern and contemporary feel.
Looking to upgrade your bar area? This rattan cabinet is the perfect piece for creating a chic bar. The design borrows elements from classic rattan bars, like the solid wood frame and round edges. But with features such as the flat-bottomed glass shelves that line the interior or the brass half-moon base, the design appears much more modern than dated.
In a deeper color, rattan feels sophisticated and timeless. This headboard proves that the woven material works can be just as elegant as cherry wood or mahogany. The half-moon shape and arch silhouette only add to the dreamy look and make it a statement piece in any bedroom.
This versatile bench works in almost any room. In the bedroom or an entryway, it creates a casual seating area while adding a hint of style to the space. However, since it's designed to seat three, we think it works best as the star of a breakfast nook.
