You have found your perfect rattan Raffles chair, now here is how caring for your rattan is easy and you can keep it looking its best and lasting well.
Finished rattan furniture is strong, durable and long-lasting. It requires minimal maintenance: just dust with a soft, clean cloth or the brush attachment of your vacuum.
The rattan is fumigated, which as well as giving it its honey hue, also means it is bug-repellent. If there are any spills, just take care of these straight away with a soft cloth and lukewarm, soapy water. Caring for your rattan has never been easier.
You are choosing a sustainable option, as rattan is a fast-growing plant that can be harvested year round. We have worked for years with the same workers and weavers. They handcraft our rattan pieces from our own designs. In doing so, we have built close relationships with our team of craftsmen, who combine sourcing the natural materials, along with using the traditional artisanal techniques passed from generation to generations in their villages. Each unique new design is inspired by old world charm.
You can see the incredible workmanship that goes into each piece with the intricate detailing. Using a sustainable natural material like rattan means each piece is one of a kind. Each has its own variations of honey hue and markings. These show the origins: visible marks of natural individuality and imperfections of the fibres where they have journeyed from the forest to your front door.
City living and spacious living don’t generally go hand in hand. With this in mind, here’s how to make the most of your home, whatever the size with our Shack Hack for small space solutions. We have our three top tips to help you have a clutter-free and calm home, from dining room to living room and beyond.
Clearing some space can in turn help to clear your mind. So in order to declutter, start by tidying. Think buffets, chests of drawers, bookshelves to store away pieces you don’t need out all the time, but would like easy access to at all times. Baskets can work wonders, too. Whether it is books and toys or paperwork, tools and curios, you can easily hide away bits and pieces to create a space of serenity.
As much as you may love an oversized dining table to entertain your friends and family night after night, it might not be the most practical solution for your living space. Try an extension table to help you out with extra seating when it is required. Or, a fixed round table can often work well in an awkward shape or size room. And if you have no designated office space, make your table work extra hard, by doubling up as a desk as well as a dining table.
Opting for a simple design of furniture, lighter colours and fewer patterns can help create a less busy look at home. This in turn will create a calmer ambience, and what more could you want than feeling at peace in your own space? If you prefer a one-off piece, browse our Antique Chinese collection. There are a few different options depending on the size of furniture you need, all with plenty of storage to help you find some of your own small space solutions.
