Wicker— a hard, woven fiber formed into material normally used for furniture or basketry, with the basic material drawn from rattan cane core, willow switches, reed, bamboo, sea grass and water hyacinth—has been made into furniture as far back as ancient Egypt and Pompeii. Today, wicker’s popularity remains high, whether the natural fiber or synthetic wicker such as that made from the Lloyd loom process of the early 1900s,  wicker furniture—indoor or outdoor; bedroom, bathroom, or living room—is made in numerous varieties and styles.

Wicker bedroom furniture can be single piece or full set. The Hospitality’s Oyster Bay antique wicker bed set is an excellent example of a full bedroom set. This set can be ordered for twin, queen, or king mattresses. The bed features a four-piece, headboard-only frame and spring platform, and the set includes a dresser chest of seven drawers (three upper drawers, and two vertical columns of two wide drawers each), a one-drawer, two-door nightstand, and a wicker-frame mirror, all of which are finished in antique coloring in a crystallized lacquer. This is part of Hospitality’s Oyster Bay collection, and you can add three-drawer nightstands and/or an upright chest of five or six drawers.

Bathroom furniture usually involves shelving structures, hampers, wastebaskets, and accessories such as towel racks or stands and even small cabinets, though you may find such accessories as wicker tissue boxes if you look deeply enough, as many wicker enthusiasts do. Seventh Avenue, for example, offers an Easy-Care wicker bathroom series that includes a Space Saver shelf structure with three shelves made of resin wicker, designed to stand above a standard-size toilet; and, a hinge-top hamper with locking wheels and removable fabric bag standing 27 inches high. Both pieces are framed with metal scroll-style framing, and each is topped with scroll-style backing. But if you are more inclined to a corner-fit structure, Atlantic Outdoor makes a sturdy, 57-inch high corner shelf structure that features four shelves, one of which sits atop a two-door lower cabinet, and comes in stain or white finishing.

Wicker living room furniture runs the range from single, distinctive pieces to complete sofa and dining sets. IVG Stores, for example, offers what it calls a three-piece banana leaf living room set in which the wicker is woven from banana leaves. The finish is honey toned and features a 34x56x34 love seat, a 34x34x32 chair, and a 20x32x30 ottoman, all with white cushions of twill fabric. IVG Stores also offers a six-piece living room set mostly in white (though you can opt for a brown wash finish instead), with basket-like seat backings, including a 37.5×23.5×21 glass top coffee table; an 80x35x36 sofa; a 57x35x36 love seat; a 36x35x36 armchair; a 25×19.5×19.5 ottoman; and, a 24×17.5×23.5 end table. The seating features cushions available in 41 fabric patterns. In addition, Pottery Barn offers among other items a single trunk made of synthetic wicker fiber and doubling as a coffee table, which you can use with either indoor or outdoor living room-style furniture set.

Outdoor furniture usually features finishes that are made to withstand the elements at any time of year and come in as many set varieties as living room furniture. Dongguan Shin Din, for example, offers a South Calli series of outdoor wicker furniture in a powder-coated finish with rust-resistant aluminum framing. The pieces include a three-seat rattan sofa, armchair, ottoman, coffee table, and accent table, and the seat  cushions feature embedded-square backs. Other outdoor sets include nightclub-style chairs, bar-and-stool sets, chaise lounges, picnic chairs and tables, and patio benches.

Even that special little girl in your life who works patiently with an elaborate doll house can be part of your home’s wickering—Town Square Miniatures makes polyresin wicker doll house furniture sets. The Doll’s House Emporium makes a chair finished in classic wood-tone with knobbed fronts on the arm rests and rounded high backs and pink-patterned seat cushions. German manufacturer Korbi includes a four-piece  set with column-style seat backs and arm rests, including two chairs, sofa, and small round coffee table, all with orange-painted edging. Moreover, minishop.com offers a four-piece dollhouse furniture set in which iron wire is woven to imitate the wicker style, complete with basket-style seatbacks and valances on two chairs, sofa, and coffee table.

With numerous other makers and suppliers beyond those described above, your home—and your favorite little girl’s dollhouse—can go wicker without a great deal of effort other than applying your own taste and style preferences.

Wicker furniture is constructed of natural fibers that are woven together in patterns, to create sturdy designs. The most common materials from which this type of furniture is made are willow, reed, rattan palm, and water hyacinth. Often these materials, once woven into furniture, require a finish and regular maintenance in order to maintain their moisture and their beautiful appearance.

Some of the common ways for wicker to degrade prematurely include over drying, or lack of moisture within the woven materials, fading from excessive light or sun exposure, and discoloration from mold or mildew. There are simple solutions for all of these issues however, which will be discussed below.

When left in dry conditions for excessive periods of time, wicker can become brittle, resulting in cracking or degrading of the material. To avoid over drying of the furniture, there are several simple solutions that you may wish to apply. For indoor furniture, ensure that no piece is placed in the direct line of any air or heating vent, since blowing air, particularly hot air, will dry the very core of the material, and once a crack occurs, it is hard to remedy without executing a complete restoration.

In order to ensure that moisture levels are maintained within the grains and weaves of wicker furniture, periodically spray all of the surfaces with water from a spray bottle, and then wipe those surfaces down with a dry towel or cloth. Wiping down the furniture with a light soapy solution, and using a toothbrush to get at the hard-to-reach areas, will address two issues at once: You will be cleaning the furniture and preventing build up and possible mold or mildew damage, and you will be hydrating the fibers at the same time. When using any form of soapy solution, always be sure to rinse the soap off with clear, clean water, so that once dry, no soap scum will create a new form of build-up.

Wicker furniture is a beautiful addition to any backyard patio. Unfortunately, wicker will likely degrade much quicker when exposed to outdoor elements, such as sun and rain. Avoid discoloration or fading, as well as over-drying, by keeping your furniture out of the direct sunlight. If you are concerned that the lifespan of your furniture will be compromised by the outdoor elements, then consider either of the following options: Synthetic wicker furniture, or white wicker furniture.

Synthetic wicker is an excellent choice for an outdoor patio set. While maintaining an authentic look and feel, it will be much more able to stand up to natural conditions that would compromise authentic wicker, and will reduce the maintenance and cleaning time considerably. It is still advisable to keep the furniture out of the direct sunlight, in order to prevent fading.

White wicker furniture creates a beautiful, homey feel to any front porch. In addition to the visual appeal of white wicker, there is also a considerable advantage in terms of durability and longevity; the white paint over the natural wicker functions as a natural sealant, keeping the existing moisture in, and preventing damage or drying from external elements.

There are many rattan bedroom furniture sets available on the market that include bed frames and wicker headboards, night stands, foot chests, decorative vases and wicker table lamps. The uses of wicker are also common in baskets, urns, and wall hangings. If your style is contemporary, wicker can still be suitable for your home. In fact, some of the most modern furniture available today is made with wicker. The flexible material can be shaped to any form, and accents like a minimalist aluminum or steel frame complement this theme. The clean lines of modern designs can be found on indoor and outdoor dining sets, nesting tables, benches that double as storage, and more.

Reproduction pieces of antique wicker are hard not to visualize when thinking about woven furniture. The making of everything from rocking chairs, to side tables, and wicker headboards, has been very popular for centuries. These pieces were frequently ornate and found in Victorian homes, and utilized stick wicker to great extent to create the intricate patterns.

Strong and attractive wicker bedroom furniture is usually made with rattan, which has a rich glossy bark that can be finished in many different shades. This sturdy material can grow up to four inches around, but pole-sized reeds about two inches in diameter are best suited for furniture construction. Wicker rattan bedroom furniture sets combine stability with a light weight, making furniture easy to move and re-arrange. The technique of using rattan for the framework dates back to the 1800′s, when the poles were steamed until they were bendable. Rattan is also easy to paint, and many manufacturers produce red, black, as well as white wicker bedroom furniture sets. It is an easy and cheap material for use in baskets, and indeed, it is hard to find a storage chest or bench that is not wicker.

The use of weaving grasses and other natural fibers into usable storage and furniture is well-documented throughout history, and the tradition carries on in our more elaborate homes today. Advanced production techniques have made wicker furniture readily available. It’s comforting strength is appropriate for vanity tables, coffee tables, and wicker laundry baskets. A wicker headboard constructed of stylish or simple lines makes a wonderful accent for a bedroom set.

Caring for Wicker

The demand for wicker furniture, particularly for unique bedroom and patio furniture, has grown over the years. To satisfy this demand, makers have created resin outdoor patio furniture that is resistant to harsh weather and is especially designed for outdoor use. However, unless you live in a tropical climate, it is not necessary to use resin wicker indoors. This leaves many more options open, including looking for rare antique beds, rockers, or any piece you desire.

Maintenance

Indoor wicker furniture requires some care to make sure it lasts as long as possible. To clean wicker furniture, vacuum off debris and dust, and use a moist cloth or soft sponge for scrubbing. For tough spots, it is safe to use a bleach and water mixture, or mild soap to clean the wicker. Take care of your investment in wicker bedroom furniture sets by keeping humidity levels low, and be sure to take it out in the sun to dry after cleaning.

However, what can you do with this type of furniture? It is important to determine where it will fit best; whether in an apartment or a home. If you are a person who enjoys the solitude while reading book, then you may want to consider placing conservatory furniture or even placing your furniture in a sunroom. There is nothing more pleasing then relaxing in Mother Nature’s comfort along with a book.
