Natural Rattan

Natural rattan is our bestselling colourway, valued for its warm, neutral tone and the ease with which it sits alongside both contemporary and classic interiors. Its natural character makes it especially versatile, bringing the texture of hand-woven rattan to the table, bathroom and practical storage throughout the home.

Our natural rattan collection brings together pieces both small and substantial. You’ll find scalloped and round placemats, chargers, serving trays and an ice bucket for the table, alongside storage baskets, waste paper bins and laundry baskets. Each item in our collection is skilfully hand-woven by rural artisans using traditional craftsmanship techniques. Many of our designs are also available in brown rattan and taupe rattan colourways.

Why Choose Natural Rattan

Natural rattan is particularly easy to live with because its warm, neutral tone sits comfortably across very different interiors. We like it with old oak and painted furniture, alongside chalky whites and soft greens in a country kitchen, or against the cleaner lines of a more contemporary space. The woven texture brings warmth without asking too much of the room around it.

At the table, we like pairing a rattan charger or scalloped placemat with simple white porcelain and linen in a contrasting shade. A deep green or faded rose can bring a little more character, while softer neutrals keep things quieter. Our table linens offer plenty of scope to layer colour and texture in a way that feels fitting for your home.

Elsewhere, natural rattan works easily in storage pieces too, particularly alongside timber, painted furniture and natural textiles. You might add baskets gradually across a bedroom, bathroom or sitting room, allowing the same warm tone to recur without making everything feel overly matched.

What Makes Natural Rattan Enduring

Rattan is a sustainable, fast-growing natural material, chosen for the strength and flexibility that allow it to be worked into durable and long-lasting homewares. Our pieces are hand-woven by rural artisans in areas of provenance where rattan naturally grows; makers whose generational skill gives each basket, tray and storage piece its structure and character.

With undyed rattan, the weave itself becomes part of what you notice. The colour is subtle and neutral. The craftsmanship comes through in the rhythm of the woven surface and the small variations that remind you each piece has been worked by hand.

Natural rattan has lasting appeal in the home. It’s practical enough for everyday use, while the warmth and texture of the weave allow it to sit comfortably across different rooms. For more inspiration, see our full collection of rattan homeware.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you still have some questions please do feel free to get in touch with us.

What is the natural colour of rattan?

The natural colour of rattan ranges from pale straw yellow to golden brown. The exact hue depends on the area where the rattan grows and the plant itself. Slight variations in colour between pieces (or even within the same piece) are common and add to rattan’s natural charm.

What is the difference between natural, brown and taupe rattan?

Natural is the lightest and warmest of our three rattan colourways, while brown brings greater depth and taupe has a softer, greyer cast. Natural rattan is especially versatile alongside timber, painted furniture and natural textiles, while brown and taupe offer different ways to introduce contrast or a quieter tonal effect.

Does natural rattan work in a darker room?

Yes. Its warm, light tone sits comfortably in rooms with darker walls or less natural daylight, particularly alongside painted furniture, timber and softer neutral shades. In darker interiors, it introduces gentle contrast without feeling stark, while remaining equally at home in lighter rooms.

How long does natural rattan last?

High-quality natural rattan homewares last for decades when kept indoors and properly cared for. It’s an exceptionally durable material. To keep a rattan piece looking its best, keep it dry, dust it regularly and spot-clean as needed with a damp cloth.

Which natural rattan pieces work well together?

Each item in our natural rattan collection is designed to harmonise beautifully together. A charger or placemat might introduce rattan at the table, while trays, baskets and storage pieces carry the same warm tone into other parts of the home.

Can I add natural rattan pieces gradually over time?

Yes. Natural rattan is an easy colourway to build on gradually because its warm, neutral tone sits comfortably alongside a wide range of materials and colours. You might begin with a piece for the table or bathroom, then add larger baskets or storage as the need arises. Though colour may vary slightly between different pieces, this is part of the individuality and character of natural rattan.
