Growing up in Indianapolis, Jill’s parents owned not only a Scandinavian furniture store, but a store selling primarily wicker pieces as well! Housed in a Victorian house in the bohemian Broad Ripple neighborhood, it was two stories chock full of wicker and rattan furniture. Jill remembers very clearly spray painting clients’ pieces in the store’s side yard… Apple Green was the #1 customer choice at the time!
As you can imagine, we are thrilled to see a resurgence of all things rattan! From the classic, iconic pieces to sleek and modern rattan, it’s easy to add this natural material into your existing decor with accessories or bolder, larger pieces. Here’s a quick round up of some favorites at steve mckenzie’s…
#1 is our favorite chair!
A fantastic serving tray, with so many uses!
Bar or counter stools – ideal for the lake house or beach house.
A modern take on this natural material; a chair as comfy as it is stunning! Also available in black.
Remember the 1970’s Apple Green? Now it’s Kiwi Green! And never looked better than on this headboard by Selamat Designs.
As you can see, rattan is back in a BIG way and we’d love to help you incorporate some of this timeless style into your own home. Reach out to the team here at steve mckenzie’s and let’s chat about how all of your wicker dreams can come true!
Cool! We used to have furniture made from rattan. If we knew this trend is coming back, we could have repurposed them. They seem to be expensive nowadays, aren’t they?
If we only knew what to save, that is the eternal question. Our makers are very competitive, a good value for a well-made product. The added texture of a natural material adds so much to a room.
Exactly Steve!
