Hello everyone! I wanted to expand upon our 2021 video entitled "The Rattan Trend in 2021 | 5 Ways to Decorate your Home with Natural Materials". That was actually the second video on our channel and seeing as rattan is one of my all-time favourite materials, today's video shares how to incorporate this timeless material in a variety of design styles! Let me know if you have any rattan items in your home in the comments below :) xx

I'm also very much a fan of rattan -- we were so fortunate to inherit decades-old rattan furniture from my husband's 150 year old family cottage. The pieces are in wonderful condition, despite having faded in the sun ( were only used indoors ) and the arms are worn smooth with decades of caresses by many resting hands. Some family members think we should paint them but the historied patina makes my heart sing! xoxo from Canada

I just want you to know how much I appreciate you holding the shot long enough to really see all the elements you are showing in a photo. Most people flash up a photo and then move on to the next before one has had time to absorb what is in the photo. I’m in the process of building a home in British Colonial style and you are an invaluable resource. Thank you.

Rattan, Cane and Wicker are all, timeless. They provide a statement, of warmth and wealth, through my eyes! The chair and loveseat I was speaking of are quite similar in style at 3:24. Although antiques, they've held up quite nicely! A fortune gift to receive. ❤️

Greetings from Santa Fe New Mexico! I have a charming rattan rocking chair of wicker that once was my maternal Grandfathers. For many years it resided on a wraparound porch of his Victorian Queen Anne home in my home state of Missouri. I rocked in that chair for many a summer day during my childhood. The chair was painted a glorious green color; my Mother had it repainted an oyster white and had the cushion recovered in a blue textile. Today, it resides at our family farm ranch house in Missouri, which I am in the process of renovating. Thank you for all your lovely Vlog posts!

I have a couple of pieces, and little storage baskets, but you've got me appreciating rattan and cane accents in a whole new way. It does really anchor a space with a more earthy and relaxed feel, whilst being classy and timeless. I think glassware and shiny metallic accessories look so great with rattan, coupled with plants and greenery; that high end, Barbados-Bahamas resort look. It can also provide a bohemian style, reminiscent of the 70s, especially those big high-back, Papasan chairs. Another stunning video!

This for was the loveliest video I have ever watched. I love rattan. I have 3 cane arm chairs in my balcony and a small settee with twa armchairs with cane seating in the living room. I wish I had more. Loved the old walnut round table with rattan chairs. I have an old walnut table with brass claws on castors. It belonged to my great grandmother, and I need chairs for it. The diameter is 54 inches, how many rattan chairs should I place around it. The table fits 6 comfortablely and 8 a bit snug.

Dear Suzie, I couldn't agree more with all the positive comments of fellow watchers of your inspiring channel. I just wanted to let you know that in one of your shots (20:18) a book caught my eye - Travel Home: Design with a global spirit by Caitlin Flemming and Julie Goebel. I ordered the book by just following my gut and ... what a book! The authors did an exceptional job. One of my absolute favourites among my collection of design books. Inspiration comes in many disguises. Thank you again Suzie, you never fail to enthuse.

They're choc-a-bloc with beautiful photos and descriptions. Favourites are Morocco, Greece, Bali and Japan. TASCHEN is a European publisher but the books are available internationally. Apart from the 'Living in'-series they have several other interior design books as well. I can recommend '100 Interiors Around the World' and 'Interiors Now'. Then of course, any book by Axel Vervoordt. The star among them 'Wabi Inspirations'. Have fun curating!

Hello Irish B! I would say similar principles apply with cane and caning, as cane is the thinner material that results from the process of stripping the rattan plant. This allows for the smaller weave and design. Thank you for the compliment! xx
