Tips for Choosing the Right Rattan Bedroom Furniture
Posted by Harvey Schwartz on Nov 14th 2019
Trying to decide whether you want rattan furniture for your bedroom? Or maybe you are already looking for the perfect rattan bedroom furniture for your home? These tips may help!
1. Home and Property Overall Vibe
First of all, decide what the overall theme, feeling or vibe is that you want for your home and for the property overall. This could include outdoor gardens, a pool or water features, your front and side yards, entryway, driveway, etc. Write down all of the feelings, colors, textures or words that best describe and clarify the vibe you want to have throughout your home space. What is the energy that you want to feel when you are there? How do you want your guests to feel when they are in your home? What will your friends and family notice first, and notice most, about your home? Do you love vintage, mid-century modern, traditional, tropical, nautical, art deco, or etc.?
2.Sections and Individual Room Themes
Some families choose one overall theme for their entire home. Others choose multiple themes that go together, for different sections of the house, or for their individual rooms. Which strategy suits you and your family the best? If you are having trouble deciding, an interior designer or interior decorator can help you to better define and clarify what resonates most. Often, looking at pictures like the ones on this site can help you to clarify your favorite looks too. You can also browse our Pinterest Boards to see even more of the thousands of unique pieces that are in our over 25,000 square feet of inventory. Some of the rattan furniture pieces that we carry are one-of-a-kind restored antiques that we have purchased from collectors! These unique historical pieces can’t be bought elsewhere at any price!
Once you have identified your overall theme and themes for individual wings or rooms of the house, you may want to choose your favorite rattan finish color, or you can mix and match! Some of the pieces below have a single color "blonde" finish, and others have a beautiful two-tone finish.
3. Rattan Furniture for Bedrooms
If you love the relaxed, beautiful, tropical feeling of laying on a beach in Hawaii, then rattan furniture is probably a great fit for you! Some people use rattan furniture throughout their homes, like celebrity models Cara and Poppy Delevingne.

Others use rattan for their living rooms and patios, because of the wonderful warm, welcoming, comfortable vibe that rattan conveys.
Some people like tropical bedroom sets that were designed as a set and are being sold as a unit, and other people enjoy mixing and matching by using a variety of rattan pieces from the same era to create their own unique vintage rattan bedroom or living room set.
4. Why Rattan
In addition to its natural tropical vibe and beauty, there are many reasons to choose rattan furniture. Rattan furniture is popular because it is lightweight and easy to move around, and many people like to change it up and move their furniture around themselves. It’s also durable and you can change the look of your rattan periodically with a new set of cushions or new fabric or upholstery for your cushions. In addition, rattan has been an important part of our identity and history as Americans. Rattan furniture, including many special famous pieces that we now own, have been featured on hit shows and movies such as The Golden Girls, Veep, and the Godfather. In addition, many Los-Angeles based celebrities have decorated using our rattan furniture, such as Nicholas Cage, Barbra Streisand and Madonna. If you are decorating using rattan furniture from Harveys on Beverly, needless to say, you are in very good company!
