IDK if you know, but rattan is having a moment. And if you’re just as obsessed as we are, then you’ve come to the right place.
Rattan was actually first discovered buried with pharaohs in ancient Egypt, and was later adopted as a furniture style by the Romans, which they then spread across the empire. Though it’s had previous revivals since then, this past year, rattan has well and truly made a comeback.
We love a minimal European aesthetic right now, and rattan fits into that perfectly. But shopping for rattan can be expensive. Given that it’s made out of raw materials and the structure really matters with the longevity of rattan furniture, it can be tough to find good-quality pieces that are on the affordable end.
Tough, but not impossible. We’ve put together a roundup of some of our favourite affordable rattan indoor furniture pieces you can find in Australia right now.

Florence Side Table
The Florence Side Table ($69.95) is smaller than it appears — 48cm – 44cm — and is super adorable as an addition to the bedroom! This side table could also be used easily in your living room, as a little drinks table or as a decorative table next to a statement chair.

Angelo Natural Rattan Cabinet
You’d better get on this Angelo Natural Rattan Cabinet ($379), as it’s on sale from $749 and there are only two left. This cabinet could be used anywhere, and it would look cute in basically any room. You could use it in your living room, and house knick knacks, in your bedroom to put books or magazines in, or even in the kitchen to put mugs and plates in.

We’ve seen this style of chair, like the Adairs Burleigh Natural Rattan Chair ($399.99) increasingly in the last few months, and we’re not complaining. It’s a stylish chair that will add a gorgeous rustic aesthetic to any living room.
