An elegant way to add texture and interest to your interior is to introduce rattan sideboards and cabinets. These impressive cabinets display this natural woven material that creates an organic texture and a stylish and modern look to your interior. A rattan sideboard is a popular choice for entrance hallways, living rooms, and dining rooms as it adds additional storage and provides a dynamic platform to display home accessories. Typically, the base of the sideboard is made up of cabinet doors; within those doors, you will often see multiple shelves that help to easily organise and store your items.
A sideboard with a rattan insert to the cabinet doors can display a bohemian, rustic, coastal and retro aesthetic to your interior. When the sideboard with rattan detail is finished in a warm orange wood finish, and the rattan design is in an oval format with splayed legs to the cabinet, this style is renowned for delivering a retro look that will add a quirky and playful edge to your interior. A Rustic design is often displayed on reclaimed or weathered-looking wood that displays tone variation and celebrates imperfections within the wood, such as grains and knots.
A rattan sideboard cabinet can add a natural feel to a living room when finished in a light wood that has a similar tone to the rattan, as this delivers a modern and neutral finish to the cabinet that provides useful storage in a living room. The rattan sideboard's top surface can display personal items like photo frames and accessories, displaying and celebrating your personality. The storage within the sideboard provides valuable storage for board games, blankets, coasters or any infrequently used living room items, as it helps to keep the room clutter-free.
A small rattan sideboard is an ideal solution for more compact spaces as it creates interest while adding detail to those small areas that are crying out for attention. This versatile design is perfect for entrance halls or even bedrooms. The additional storage within a small rattan sideboard is especially useful as you can store extra bedding and towels, and the natural woven rattan detail on the door or drawer fronts provides ample ventilation. Rattan is a natural material that can be easily blended with other furniture materials like wood, glass, and ceramic to deliver a complementary finish.
You could consider a white rattan sideboard for an edgy coastal look to your interior. The contrast between the white finish and the warm natural rattan delivers a dynamic look that adds interest and detail to a room. This light and airy design is perfect for bathrooms as it offers a complimentary aesthetic whilst providing a valuable location to store towels and toiletries. This calming look would also be a great fit for a relaxed bedroom as the light white finish and organic natural rattan tone could be a sleek fit for a bedroom colour scheme. You could dress the cabinet with a mirror or artwork above, or it could even deliver a stylish location to place your TV on top. The rattan detail to the cabinet fronts would provide sufficient airflow and ventilation for any media equipment you may need to store below.
Larger dining rooms would be ideal for a large rattan sideboard, particularly a black finished design. The black wood finish against the warm rattan would deliver a bold, striking contrast that creates a focal point in your dining room. The black structure would provide an elegant yet complimentary design to a sleek black dining table. This classical, contemporary look delivers a timeless aesthetic that creates a bold and striking impact. It is a neutral and versatile finish that would compliment brightly coloured wall finishes as well as neutral colour schemes. A large rattan sideboard would provide practical storage in a dining room for cutlery, crockery, glassware and bottles, helping to keep your kitchen organised and tidy. A black sideboard rattan detail is a sophisticated choice that would complement modern and traditional decor styles.
You could introduce a rattan TV cabinet to your living room to create a cohesive and intentional design aesthetic. TV cabinets can provide a problematic furniture option as they are typically not aesthetically pleasing and are challenging to match to other furniture items. Therefore, a rattan TV cabinet could be located on one side of a fireplace, and then on the other side, you could place a small rattan cabinet, creating balance and a symmetrical design that creates a striking focal wall. The rattan TV cabinet will typically include open shelving for AV equipment and a cable management hole in the back, allowing you easy access to plug sockets behind. If you are able to locate your TV cabinet on the chimney breast or above a fireplace in the centre of the wall, you could alternatively place a small rattan cabinet on either side and display matching artwork or mirrors above each cabinet to deliver a designer feel to your interior.
A rattan cabinet can deliver a rustic and industrial look to your interior, adding character and charm that compliments urban and loft-style interiors. This is often created with a distressed-looking wood finish that is unpolished and earthy, displaying tone variation. This is usually seen in 2 door rattan cabinets, creating a compact design that is perfect for apartments and smaller rooms. Rustic and industrial details like black metal handles and square box frame bases and legs create a stylish detail that is further elevated by the introduction of metal corners and exposed rivets and fixings, delivering an authentic manufacturing look. This look can accentuate your living area, mainly if set against a rattan side table or rustic coffee table, to create a stylish collection of furniture items that will deliver a purposeful look and finish to your room. Tall rattan cabinets are a perfect choice for filling alcoves and blank corners of the room, creating interest while providing ample storage. Adjustable shelving and soft close hinges are just some of the quality finishes that can often be found on tall rattan cabinets, delivering a handcrafted feel and giving you the comfort that your furniture is built to last.
