But suddenly, with the advent of artificial rattan, wicker furniture has once again become an extremely popular choice. And it’s easy to see why: it fits perfectly into modern and traditional design, does not require special care, remains durable and beautiful for many years.

Modern wicker armchairs, sofas, tables and chairs made of artificial rattan and natural materials – in 34 photos of stunningly stylish interiors!
Trend 2016: wicker furniture made of artificial rattan
Artificial rattan is highly wear-resistant and practically not afraid of weathering. Therefore, initially, wicker furniture made of artificial rattan was used mainly in open spaces – in gardens, cottages, as well as on terraces and verandas. However, over time, many interesting varieties of rattan design have emerged, including the width and thickness of the tape, its color and texture. The design of wicker furniture has been replenished with many new, more modern and sophisticated models, which began to be willingly used on balconies, living rooms, bedrooms and other rooms of the house.
As a result, modern wicker furniture made of artificial rattan is of high quality, durability, ease of care and at the same time – a relatively low price (compared to wicker furniture made from natural materials). Therefore, it is natural that today it is the most popular on the market. Moreover, it is much easier to make or repair wicker furniture from artificial rattan with your own hands than with the use of natural materials. Here are some examples in the photo of such furniture in the interior:
Wicker furniture made of vine and natural rattan
Wicker furniture made from natural materials is also strong and durable, but on condition that it will not be exposed to moisture and UV rays for a long time. When furniture made of vine or natural rattan is used in the yard or on the outdoor terrace, it is recommended to bring it into the house after each use. Staying outside for a long time, it can become moldy from moisture or crack from the heat of the sun.
The main advantage of natural wicker furniture is its attractiveness due to the more textured weave of the vine. Faux rattan furniture has a sleeker and woven look that fits perfectly into modern minimalist interiors. Whereas the texture of natural materials allows it to look great in classic, Scandinavian, tropical and eclectic rooms, as well as in interiors in the styles of Provence, country and even loft.
