It's impossible to ignore: caning, the decorative technique once dismissed as passé, is commanding center stage once more. Originating in Europe in the 17th century, this intricate braiding method was originally used to craft armchairs, benches, chairs, and sofas. Evolving beyond traditional rattan, caning is surging back in popularity, transforming furniture throughout the home. From sideboards and cupboards to dressers, it complements every style—Scandinavian, bohemian, vintage, and contemporary alike.
Bringing caning into your interior is effortless when done thoughtfully. Skip the all-caning look and focus on standout pieces: armchairs or a bench in the living room, an entryway bench, or a headboard and wardrobe in the bedroom. Blend it with materials like glass, metal, velvet, or fabric to emphasize its timeless authenticity and refine your overall decor.
