With the recent resurgence of bohemian style, it’s no wonder that rattan is also making a comeback. But you might be surprised to discover that rattan can look surprisingly chic. Context is everything, and mixing a rattan piece or two in with more modern elements can make all the difference between a room that looks like the revenge of the ’70s, and one that looks like you just added in a bit of natural rattan flair. If you’re ready to give it a chance, check out our modern rattan finds (no papasan chairs included).

Target also has a rattan headboard at a similar price point, as well as that cute little ottoman at the end of the bed. It would make a great plant stand or side table.

I have to admit that I’ve had a soft spot for rattan hanging chairs ever since I sat in my grandparents’ when I was a child. A few years ago I hunted one down at vintage shops, but if you’re not having any luck with that approach, this one is a great alternative.
