Cannage furniture, reinvented the past

Vintage style and retro decoration are experiencing a golden moment, which is causing some fashions to be rescued from the past. 

A perfect example is Cannage, an ancient technique of braiding natural fibers, which is gaining more strength than ever. It promises to be one of the most solid trends and numerous furniture firms have reintroduced it into their collections. 

If you like houses with life, where you breathe peace and each element brings its story, you are in luck, because we give you all the clues to introduce it at home. Care! You're going to fall in love with its elegance and you're going to want to take it all home.  

Sideboards and storage furniture

Whether in the living room, dining room, kitchen office or hallway (if we have enough square meters), this style of handmade furniture with a vintage air can be the best complement to your decoration. 

Sideboards combine very well with sober and minimalist styles, where they provide warmth and make the room a more pleasant and habitable space. 

On the other hand, in more rustic living rooms, Cannage mixed with wood and with more solid structures is a sure hit. 

This type of furniture has a lot of presence, it is better to let them shine on their own. Choose to accompany them with lighter decoration such as plants, mirrors in XL format or small ceramic vases with flowers. Likewise, wall decoration made of natural fibers or tapestries are also a great idea. 

Chairs to dress up your dining room

It is inevitable to think of chairs when talking about this material. Rattan braiding is very resistant, light and flexible, so for centuries it has been used to design chairs, armchairs or rocking chairs, especially in Southeast Asia where it originates. 

As it is a natural material, it is ideal to combine it with wood and textiles such as linen or cotton. Harmony is assured, if you opt for soft and luminous tones such as the palette of beige and stone tones. 

Mesh cabinets

Wardrobes are sure to be your favorite! Their delicate and romantic air makes them become a unique piece, both in the master bedroom and in the room of the little ones in the house. 

We really like them in rooms painted in white or earth colors, helping to create a very relaxed atmosphere. Although you can also dare to combine them with powdery or pink colors, which are currently another ofthe great decorative trends. 

Inside the bedroom, mesh or Cannage bedside tables are ideal next to headboards made of natural fibers or wood. 

Other details that make a difference

If you like the trend and are dying to bring it into your home, the easiest thing to do is to start with more discreet solutions and accessories. This way you can change your room and not miss the beauty of this braiding. 

An armchair next to your sofa, lamps in the dining room or in the kitchen office and, our favorite, the screens. 

If you live in a house with open spaces, this piece of furniture will give you privacy without losing light and has an undeniable charm. Use it to separate the bedroom from the rest of the house, give a private air to a reading corner in the living room or make your work corner quieter.
