Over the past year and a bit, it's likely that your obsession with homeware has gone from mildly problematic to a full-blown condition.
For those of you who are still WFH, staring at your lacklustre rented walls all day has likely inspired at the very least a following spree of home interiors accounts on Instagram and, at the worst, a shopping spree that shows no sign of coming to an end. Perhaps you've been indulging in a spot of cottagecore, sprucing up the place with a collection of dried flowers or investing in some plant pots for that teeny outdoor space that likes to call itself a garden. Maybe you even went full on fake in your decorations, or fell for the particularly cosy bouclé trend.
However, there's trend that's been dominating Instagram thanks to its combination of peak 70s style and the return to natural fibres: rattan furniture.
Rattan is a climbing vine which grows mainly in southeast Asia and has been used for centuries to weave everything from baskets to clothes to furniture. While it can be used to create many different patterns, it's really the webbing style that's caught the eyes of interiors queens of the moment.
To help you add some rattan to your place, we've rounded up a collection of our favourite pieces for you to pick from.
