Why Australians are choosing rattan

• Calm, natural texture Rattan softens modern spaces and adds depth to minimal rooms. It pairs with timber, linen, stone and greenery like they were made for each other.
• Light on the eye, easy to move. You get visual warmth without bulky weight. Great for apartments and renters who like to re-jig layouts now and then.
• Year-round versatility Works across coastal, contemporary, Japandi, boho, and modern Australian styles. Swap cushions, throws and art—the furniture still feels right.
• Durability with give Quality rattan has a gentle flex that’s surprisingly comfortable and resilient. It’s the kind of piece that invites everyday use.
• Ages with character, Subtle patina and mellowing tones look better with time. You’re not babying it—just enjoying it.

Our rattan furniture range (designed for Australian living)

Living Room

Rattan armchairs & occasional chairs Curved silhouettes, supportive seats and breathable woven backs—perfect beside a sofa or as a reading nook hero. Add a linen cushion and a side table, and you’re done.

Rattan sofas & loveseats, Airy frames with comfy cushions you can actually lounge on. We’ll talk seat height, cushion fill and fabric choices so it feels as good as it looks.

Coffee tables & side tables Round, square or oval tops with woven panels or cane details. Choose open shelves for coffee-table books or a clean, minimal frame for smaller rooms.

Media units & consoles, Timber frames with rattan door panels for a subtle texture hit. Ventilation and cable management where you need it (we’ll plan it with you).

Dining & Kitchen

Dining chairs & counter stools Supportive backs and seats with a little give. Mix rattan chairs with a solid timber table, or pair stools with an island for a relaxed, café feel at home.

Buffets & sideboards Practical storage with rattan fronts and timber frames. Adjustable shelves for platters, glassware and the “where-does-this-live” stuff.

Bedroom

Rattan bedheads & beds. Gentle curves, woven panels and quiet presence. Pair with crisp linen and a textured throw for instant boutique-hotel calm.

Bedside tables, Drawer-and-shelf combos that hide chargers and reading glasses. Rounded corners are kind to shins in tight rooms.

Dressers & tallboys Smooth runners, rattan drawer faces and easy-to-grab pulls. We’ll help with drawer depth planning so everything actually fits.

Entry & Outdoor (covered)

Entry consoles & benches Make your welcome feel sorted: a slim console, a tray for keys, a bench for shoes. Rattan keeps it light and friendly.

Covered alfresco accents in protected outdoor zones, rattan looks sensational. We’ll chat about placement and care so your pieces stay lovely.

How to choose rattan pieces that really work at home

1) Think mood, not just match. Rattan plays well with most palettes, so focus on the feeling you want—airy and coastal, warm and grounded, or clean and minimal. Then choose shapes that support that vibe.

2) Sort the sizes. Measure wall runs, walkways and door swings. For chairs and stools, check seat heights so they match your table or bench—your knees will thank you.

3) Mix textures for depth. Pair rattan with timber, linen, boucle, ceramic and greenery. Keeping colours calm lets the textures do the talking.

4) Edit your corners. One rattan hero per zone is often enough—an armchair, a bedhead, or a buffet. Too many woven surfaces in one spot can feel busy.

5) Plan storage like a realist. If you’re choosing a rattan-front sideboard or TV unit, list what needs to live inside—devices, baskets, serving platters—so shelves and cable routes are perfect from day one.

Construction details that matter (ours do)

• Solid framing, Timber or metal frames that keep things sturdy while letting the rattan breathe.
• Quality weave, even, taut caning with neat transitions at edges. No saggy panels, no scratchy ends.
• Thoughtful finishes, Smooth to the touch with subtle sheen; tones that sit well with Australian light (no plasticky gloss).
• Practical hardware, Soft-close hinges it helps, easy-open pulls, and feet that glide without marking floors.
• Real-life dimensions: Seat heights that pair with standard dining tables, consoles that leave hallway walkway room, and TV units sized to actual screens (and speakers).

Styling ideas (steal these and make them yours)

• Living room, a calm Rattan armchair + linen sofa + timber coffee table + jute rug + a big-leaf plant. Add a clay lamp and call it a day.
• Dining made easy: Timber table + rattan chairs + simple linen runner. Keep centrepieces low so conversation flows.
• Bedroom retreat: Rattan bedhead + warm neutral walls + crisp white bedding + textural cushions. A timber bedside with a woven lamp shade ties it together.
• Entry welcome, Slim rattan console + round mirror + tray for keys + basket underneath for shoes. Quick, tidy, organised.
• Small-space trick: Choose rattan doors on storage pieces—the texture keeps larger items from feeling heavy, so studios and apartments stay light.

Simple care (so you actually do it)

• Dust lightly with a microfibre cloth or soft brush attachment; go with the weave.
• Blot spills promptly; avoid harsh cleaners. Mild soap and water on a cloth, then dry.
• Rotate cushions & décor so tones age evenly in sunlit rooms.
• Use felt pads under accessories and speakers to keep surfaces smooth.
• Mind the elements—rattan loves bright, dry interiors. For covered outdoor zones, keep them protected from direct rain and long hours of harsh sun.

Common questions

Is rattan strong enough for everyday use? Absolutely—quality rattan is remarkably resilient and has a bit of give, which adds comfort. We pair it with solid frames so pieces feel sturdy day to day.

Does rattan work with timber furniture? They’re best mates. Rattan brings texture; timber brings depth. Keep tones in the same family (warm with warm, cool with cool) for an easy match.

Can I use rattan outside? Rattan loves bright interiors. In covered alfresco areas, it can work beautifully—just keep it out of direct rain and harsh sun. Ask us about placement and care.

Will the colour change over time? Natural materials mellow slightly—one of the reasons they look so good as they age. Rotate décor occasionally for an even tone.

Do you ship across Australia? We organise delivery to the metro and many regional areas. Share your postcode and access details, and we’ll provide the best plan.

What about assembly? Many pieces arrive ready to place. If there’s minor assembly, it’s straightforward; we’ll outline it clearly before you order.

Can I custom-size a piece? Often, yes—especially for consoles, media units and sideboards. Send through measurements and what needs to live inside; we’ll suggest smart dimensions.

Do you publish fixed prices online? As our styles, finishes, and sizes vary, we provide a personalised quote—clear and current—once you’ve chosen your pieces. This ensures you receive the most accurate information for your selections.
