RATTAN FURNITURE

ringing resort-style vibes to any space, rattan furniture pairs perfectly with tropical prints to create a tranquil escape in your own home. From chairs and tables to washing baskets and wall art, Christine Wilcox from Sabac on High said on-trend natural materials like sturdy rattan weather well, making it an ideal addition to a relaxing outdoor spot. “The natural products are warm,” Christine said. “They go with any theme, whether Hamptons or rustic, they blend in with anything. “We also find people are mixing a lot of rattan; you’ll find baskets, or furniture with rattan sides and metal accents, or rattan with some timber.”
CONCRETE ACCENTS

oncrete is not exactly new but as the science behind it has developed it has become the material of choice. Durable and effortlessly sleek, Mark Pungitore from Concrete Culture said concrete is simple to customise and it complements timber and metal. “The trend has always been there; just now concrete is so much more versatile and its aesthetics are longer lasting,” Mark said.
From bench tops and wall panels to coffee tables and sinks, Mark said the free-forming stone lends well to industrial vibes and modern designs. “If we can make a mould of it we can make it and even if we can’t make a mould of it we can carve it,” he said. “It’s a product we can use in nearly every room in the house with accent pieces.” Its robust nature makes concrete perfect for outdoor kitchens and wet areas, including fire pits.
