The best rattan garden furniture
If you're into that super-boho style garden furniture that we're seeing everywhere at the moment, you're sure to love this Swara garden four seater round dining set from Made, which combines rattan and natural grass to create a boho-inspired set that we can't get enough of. Here's everything you need to know:
On-trend design
As we've already mentioned, this style of garden furniture is the kind of thing we've been seeing everywhere recently. So we were surprised to see it retailing at such an affordable price point, when compared with similar makes and models on the market.
Choose from a selection of different finishes
This range is available in rattan and black, or a pure black finish, so it's possible to choose a look that works for your taste and space.
Variety of options available
As well as the dining set we've featured. There's also a sofa £349, and carver chair, £149, in the range, too, if it's lounge furniture you're after. We're thinking they'd also look good indoors, by the way.
Where to begin with this gorgeous sun lounger? It's supremely comfortable, well designed, and durable.
Sumptuous design
There is nothing basic about this luxurious rattan sun lounger – just look at the thickness of the cushion! It is very, very comfortable to lie on, with the back having a whopping six adjustable levels.
Weather-resistant
The seating includes the cushion which will need to be taken in when not in use, but the structure itself is UV resistant and weatherproof – that is, during the summer. When it starts raining seriously in winter, you'll need to cover it.
If you’d like to dine outside more this summer, then the Kettler Palma Mini Corner Set is for you. Here's everything you need to know:
Fit for all the family
Designed to seat up to seven people with ease, allowing plenty of space for friends and family to enjoy your outdoor space.
Protective caps
This set has protective caps on the feet, but it is still recommended to place this rattan furniture on a hard surface to avoid ruining your lawn.
Weatherproof design
The whole set, including glass table top, is weatherproof, so it can remain outside all year round.
The Calamus bench from La Redoute is beautiful and can be mixed and matched with other pieces from the same collection.
Exquisite design
There's no other design quite like this one for rattan garden benches: the hand woven chevron design creates a relaxed, airy effect that will look amazing against a whitewashed wall. The whole sofa is lightweight, which is handy for moving it indoors.
Not weather resistant
This bench has to be kept dry, so store this sofa in a conservatory or even your living room in the winter.
This beautiful set will complement most garden schemes; sumptuous cream cushions are included.
Durable design
Made from durable synthetic rattan, this set can be left outside all year round. The cushions, however, will need to be taken in during wet weather.
Easy storage
The legs can be removed for storage if you choose to keep the set away from wet winter weather.
Great for small spaces
The sofa is nice and compact in this set, which makes it suitable for even the smallest of patios and gardens.
This all-natural Louisiane Rattan Rocking Chair from Maisons du Monde is really something. Its slightly Scandi design will add boho chic to any patio or deck, while the generous proportions mean that it's comfortable, too – just add a cushion for back support. Here's why we love it:
Lightweight design
It's lightweight, too, making it perfect for those who love chasing the sun in their garden.
Works indoors and outdoors
You will need to bring this chair indoors whenever it rains, though, and store it indoors all through the winter. Fortunately, it will look just as good in your conservatory or even living room as it does in the garden.

How to buy the best rattan furniture
Where to buy the best rattan garden furniture
Rattan garden furniture suits both contemporary and traditional garden schemes; the weaves vary, with modern flat weaves suiting contemporary settings, while rounded, wicker-style weaves are perfect for a traditional feel.
Rattan (and particularly synthetic rattan) can stand up to all kinds of weather. However, it's always worth checking if what you're buying comes with a protective cover if it will be left outside all year round. If it doesn’t, you’ll need to factor in the extra cost for this.
Another extra to check is the cushions: although rattan is very welcoming, added cushions will make it more comfortable; again, check whether these are included and whether they are weatherproof.
