Rattan and wicker furniture, with its natural textures and '70s aesthetic, is gaining popularity for both patios and indoor living spaces, highlighted by Amanda Seyfried's porch setup. The actress showcased a woven lounge chair with neutral cushions, combining rustic charm with comfort.

Experts note that while natural rattan adds warmth and style, it requires care for longevity—UV exposure, extreme heat, and moisture can cause warping or brittleness. Synthetic rattan is increasingly preferred for outdoor furniture due to its durability, ease of cleaning, and UV resistance.
Several retail options reflect this trend:
- Wayfair: Highland Dunes Sephina armchair and Ajwan rattan armchair with plush cushions.
- Target: UV-resistant, knitted outdoor throw pillows and rattan fruit bowls.
- H&M: Rattan trays for versatile year-round use.
Designers suggest using these pieces to refresh outdoor or indoor spaces seasonally, highlighting the retro yet timeless appeal of woven furniture.
