So you love the look of wicker furniture, but you’re not quite sure how to make it work in your home? You can’t go wrong by using it in these 3 places:

1. Your patio

Is there really any better place to create a light, airy, tropical vibe than out on your patio?! Wicker furniture can give you the perfect way to make your outdoor area feel more like the tropics, even if it’s only 30 degrees outside!

Since wicker is such a popular choice for the great outdoors, manufacturers have created special outdoor wicker that’s designed to look great, no matter what Mother Nature throws its way. That’s because outdoor wicker is actually a combination of pure wicker and resin. The resin doesn’t do anything to alter the appearance of the wicker; it just makes it more durable against rain, sleet, sun, and snow.

The only slight difference you may see between outdoor wicker and the traditional stuff is that the outdoor wicker may be a little bit shinier. However, the difference is so minute that most people will never notice!

2. Your bedroom

How great would be it to get a good night’s sleep in a room that had a relaxing vibe to it? When you use wicker in your bedroom, that’s exactly what you get! Whether you opt for wicker nightstands, a wall unit, or just some small decorative pieces, walking into a wicker bedroom is a great way to unwind after a long day. If your décor is just right, you may even be able to forget all about work and think of yourself on vacation!

3. Your living room

If you want the tropical vibe from your wicker bedroom to extend to the rest of the house, put some wicker furniture in your living room. A good wicker sofa will be strong enough to withstand daily sitting, napping, and TV watching. And, since wicker never goes out of style, you’ll never need to worry about replacing your wicker sofa or wall unit with something “trendy” in a couple of years.

As an added benefit, wicker furniture can be a great way to make the most out of a smaller space. Since a wicker sofa is smaller than a big, heavy oak one, it won’t take up as much room. That way, you can make small rooms look bigger – or be able to fit more furniture into your space. The choice is yours!
