subject: Why Choose Rattan Furniture For Your Garden? [print this page] Due to the fact it is very light, it can be moved around easily,even a children. Combined with its obvious toughness to the elements, rattan furniture will easily match most outdoor spaces.
A dining set with a modern twist can look extremely stylish on a trendy patio for instance, while a couple of rattan armchairs with matching cushions look perfectly at home in the garden of a antique looking cottage. A rattan couch or swing looks great in a well-used porch where family and friends tend to gather at night.
Step 1: Colour
First of all, you need to decide on the colour of your new rattan furniture. Rattan is available in a lot of colours, ranging from black to white and anything in between. Coloured cushions can also be added to ensure that your rattan furniture blends in perfectly with an accent colour on your patio or garden.
Step 2: Design
Once youve decided on a colour, its a case of choosing the correct style to match your home.
If you have a modern home you may want to look at furniture with sleek lines & eye catching design. For a traditional home, high backs and subtle lines would complement the space.
Step 3: Size
When you know what design and colour you would like, its a case of choosing the correct size. It is important that the space doesnt look overcrowded so carefully measure and plan your space.
Other benefits of wicker furniture
It doesnt stain. If a drink is spilled on rattan garden furniture it can easily be wiped away using a cloth and water
It wont need replacing for years. And in some cases never at all. If you do decide to replace it its because its been around for so long that you just feel its time for a change
Its incredibly comfortable. The soft material and woven interlocking fibres rattan is made from tends to yield to the sitters shape which means wicker chairs dont really require a cushion to add comfort. Its actually more of a stylish addition to the furniture.
If youre wondering if the rattan furniture youve found in your garden centre is of a good standard, simply flip a chair over to reveal the underside. If the weaving feels tight & there is no use of staples, nails or screws, the furniture is likely a good standard. (This is because theyve been hand woven, meaning fastenings are not needed. Left outside, staples, nails or screws will rust causing the chair to fall apart).
