Varieties
In the huge number of models and varieties of rattan furniture, two main ones can be distinguished: natural and artificial rattan.
Wicker furniture made from natural rattan is divided into classes:
- A. All load-bearing parts are made from the strongest parts. The most expensive furniture.
- B. Some of the trunks used in furniture have slight defects that do not affect the quality. This allows us to reduce prices.
- C. Furniture of very low quality, where the vast majority of stems are defective or excessively thin. This classification literally screams that this is not furniture, but a decorative element.
According to the country of the manufacturer, there is also a division into several styles:
- Asian. This is almost always natural furniture produced in many Asian countries (Indonesia, Thailand, etc.). You should be wary of kits that are made in China. They were the ones who received a huge number of complaints (the lowest quality).
- European (for example, Spanish and Italian luxury wicker furniture). Here rattan is combined with other materials (aluminum, polymers, fabrics, Teflon). The quality of the furniture is superior to its Asian counterparts, but not everyone likes the presence of metal or synthetics in the frame. An excellent option as garden furniture in a country house or hotel.
- Russian. This wicker furniture is called rattan only conventionally. Willow branches are used for production.
There are also 5 classic color options for furniture made from natural rattan (from light to dark):
- Honey;
- Cognac;
- Nut;
- Olive;
- Coffee.
Features of placing wicker furniture in the living room interior
The most win-win way to integrate wicker into the interior is to place a table made of bamboo, wicker or rattan near the sofa. The original design of the furniture will decorate the living room, and the model can be chosen in any style - from squat tables in the oriental style to modern designs of regular geometric shapes.

If you decide to limit yourself to one table, rocking chair or sofa, it is advisable to complement it with at least one accessory - for example, a floor vase or wicker boxes. The second option is to repeat the color of the wood in decoration or textiles - sofa cushions, bedspreads or blankets. Of course, the best option is to buy a set of armchairs, a sofa and a table - such a corner will look harmonious and will not require any additions.

Wicker furniture in the living room of different styles and trends
Is it appropriate to use wicker furniture in a city apartment or house? This question often arises among people who want to change their interior, because products woven from rattan, jute, bamboo or sesal are very beautiful. However, concerns arise due to the prevailing opinion that they are suitable either for a summer house, or only for a few certain interior styles. In fact, wicker furniture really fits perfectly into the styles of romanticism, Provence, country, colonial, and ethnic, but this does not mean that it has no place in other interiors.

Combination of materials in wicker furniture
The ability to use wicker furniture in interiors decorated in different styles allows for compromise. In the manufacture of tables, armchairs, and other items, not only flexible natural twigs of wood are used, but also auxiliary elements made from other materials. This is precisely what allows the use of exclusively beach furniture for ordinary and everyday interiors.

So that an ordinary table can be used for its intended purpose, be it a dining room or a coffee table, its tabletop is supplemented with durable glass. You can safely place various objects on it without fear that they will tip over. It also makes it easier to maintain such a surface. In addition to the tabletop, the entire structure can be modernized. That is, the wicker elements will harmoniously combine with the frame base. Made of metal or wood.

This applies not only to tables; some wicker chairs and armchairs are made using the same principle. The metal frame gives the structure strength, and the wicker component makes the item light and airy. The result is a harmonious appearance and functionality.
Compact wicker chairs
And the variety of modern materials used in one item makes it possible to use it in interior design of various styles: from classic to modern, from minimalism to hi-tech. And of course, the main style solutions that cannot be imagined without the use of wicker furniture are southern interiors, eco-style, and rustic trends.
Rule three
Pay attention to the design of the product. Even though you chose rattan, careless craftsmen can ruin such a piece of furniture. If you choose a table or chair, then the base must be reinforced with transverse trunks. In this case, you can be sure that the chair will withstand the stated 500 kg and the legs will not become loose. The back of the chair should also provide good support. To do this, you can lean on it and check its stability. Joints that are fastened with staples and nails, or decorated in bad faith, indicate that such furniture was not created with the prospect of long-term use. The fastening of the joints should not be visible, as it should be carefully sealed with rattan bark. During testing, the furniture should not creak or wobble.
