Weave some warmth into your bedroom with rattan.

It was all the rage in the 70s: rattan chairs, rattan baskets and rattan outdoor furniture. A trend many thought was gone for good, rattan has made a comeback over 50 years on and is now bigger than ever. Made from woven wood, rattan has a warm, laidback look that emulates a brimming beach bar on a tropical holiday. It’s the perfect way to weave texture and warmth into your space, creating a home holiday vibe all year round.

Whether you class your interior decor as traditional, boho chic, maximalist or ultra-modern, there are ways you can incorporate rattan furniture into any style of bedroom. From essential storage solutions to smaller furniture, we've compiled 15 of the best rattan bedroom furniture ideas to help you successfully incorporate this material into your space.

Consider the overarching style and theme of your bedroom before deciding how to include rattan furniture. Rattan is synonymous with bohemian design, so it wouldn't look out of place in a bohemian-inspired bedroom but it equally works effortlessly with Scandinavian, contemporary or minimalist interior schemes.

Rattan wood is neutral in colour so consider pairing it with similar earthy tones (think burnt orange, mustard and coffee brown). Light, neutral palettes and sweet pastels also blend seamlessly with the warmth of rattan. If colour is more your thing, why not paint your rattan furniture in bold colours to match your maximalist taste?

When it comes to materials, we recommend styling your rattan furniture with other types of wood and natural textiles for a soft, cosy vibe. Other natural textures that work harmoniously with rattan include seagrass, bamboo, linen and cotton. Finish off your natural bedroom aesthetic with some blooming houseplants for a chic, tropical look.

What better way to start your rattan revival than with a rattan chest of drawers? A chest of drawers is a must-have in any bedroom (it's an essential for storing clothes) and how it looks will make a huge difference to the look and feel of your space. We're loving the bold black accents and rounded edges of this three-drawer chest from John Lewis.

In any bedroom, the bed is the focal point of the room. It's the largest piece of furniture you'll have in your bedroom, and it ultimately defines the style and feel of the whole space. That's why it's crucial that you carefully consider the style of your bed when revamping your space. Opt for a rattan bed with beautiful cage detailing if you want to craft a nature-inspired room.

Finish off your rustic-inspired bedroom by adding a rattan occasional chair to a cosy corner of the room. Full of Scandinavian-meets-mid-century style, this gorgeous swept armchair is designed with cream rattan panelling and contrasting bold black accents.

Nail the boho chic aesthetic with a rattan bedside table. This design from Dunelm features gold effect handles to offer a high-end look whilst still remaining relentlessly rustic. We recommend styling your bedside cabinets with a stack of neutral books and gold accessories on top.

For the avid book reader, a rattan bookcase is a must-have. Combining practicality and quirky style, this rattan bookcase is designed with rails so books can be displayed outwards without toppling over. The unique swirl rattan design will create a statement look in any boho-chic bedroom.

No boho bedroom is complete without a selection of flourishing plants. Display your favourite plants in a decorative rattan plant stand for the ultimate bohemian sanctuary. At £22, this retro stand from John Lewis is an absolute steal.

Does your bedroom double up as a home office? If it does, amplify the space by incorporating a rattan desk. This stunning desk features four deep drawers, offering ample space for storing documents when working from home. The curved edge design topped off with forest green tassel handles will have anyone envious of your home office space.

Rattan wardrobes are an essential if you're looking for heaps of storage space whilst still achieving a trendy bedroom aesthetic. This solid pine and rattan wardrobe from La Redoute crafts a seamless blend of traditional and contemporary, complete with smart black handles for a vintage meets modern look.

Rattan isn't just for neutral lovers. Introduce a splash of colour into your bedroom by incorporating a painted rattan unit. This characterful chest of drawers from Oliver Bonas features gorgeous green mango wood and classic gold handles to take the art of embracing colour to the next level.

Whether you're using it for extra storage space or as a unit to put a TV on, a sideboard is an essential addition to any bedroom space. Made from natural rattan, this sideboard features black metal detailing for a contemporary, industrial twist. Complete the look with a fully matching range, including a rattan unit and desk.

If you're looking for a small storage solution for your bedroom that oozes rustic style, opt for a rattan storage bench. If you have the room, position the bench at the end of your bed, or alternatively by the window so it can double up as extra seating.

If you want to add a touch of exotic to your bedroom without investing in a whole new bed, opt for a rattan headboard. Adding a new headboard is a cost-effective way to switch up the look and feel of your bedroom. It's available in three sizes to suit your current bed size.

Pair a small rattan lampshade with a black light fitting for a contemporary meets rustic look. The woven design of this rattan lampshade disperses light easily, casting interesting shadows on the walls – perfect for creating a relaxing, laidback bedroom environment.

Revamp your dressing area with a rattan dressing table. Featuring a combination of solid pine wood, rattan weave and ash wood veneer, this stylish table is an absolute steal at £149.99. Pair with a Scandinavian-style chair with wooden legs.

You can never have too much rattan. Pair your rattan bedside tables with rattan table lamps for the ultimate unified look. Featuring a curved frame and neutral colours, this bohemian-inspired lamp diffuses light to create a calming environment. Plus, it comes with a dimmer so you can choose your level of chill.
