When it comes to decorating, cane brings a certain retro allure to our interiors. After the wave of rattan, it's cane's turn to make its way into the top 3 of successful comebacks. To explain its success, we're betting on its authentic look, sturdiness and ultra-elegant style. This star material hasn't said its last word, and it manages to stand out when combined with oak or velvet. And since it's so popular, we tell you how to adopt it at home.
Caning first appeared in the early 18th century. It highlights the craftsmanship of weaving natural fibers. After making a big splash in the 20s, it fell into disuse before coming back with a modern facelift. And it's just the thing: cane is suitable for all styles and budgets.
For those who don't want to get too wet with the trend, let's start with a safe bet that's sure to make an impact: cane hanging baskets that highlight graphic features. Another superstar is the cane mirror, practical and resolutely designer, perfect for boosting an entrance or for an Art Deco bathroom. As for small everyday accessories, candleholders, pencil pots and storage boxes promise a chic effect, especially when cane is combined with black. In the bedroom, think about spicing up the headboard, swapping the old one for a cane headboard for example.
For those who totally embrace the trend and want to take it a step further, opt for a beautiful piece such as a sideboard with caned doors, a Scandinavian wardrobe in the bedroom, or a sleek chest of drawers. Minimalist consoles and cane cabinets are also in vogue. Not surprising, since cane furniture goes with everything. Beware of (one) faux pas, and avoid the total cane look: a piece of furniture here or there and you're done.
For the undecided, the cane trend takes on a completely different form, an alternative to imposing furniture and small decorative accessories. This intermediate version features a blue-gray bedside table with cane drawers, a cane pedestal table a cane pedestal table, chair or armchair featuring this season's winning combo of cane and velvet and we'd love to see in our own home, we're thinking of this cane bench .
