Woven
The cool blue hues, sandy sisals and breezy fabrics of coastal decor provide tranquility even when not overlooking a body of water. Wicker and rattan accessories and furnishings always complete the look, but perhaps there is a place for them in every home no matter the style. After all, we all have wicker in our blood. Our ancestors needed containers for gathering and carrying everything from their food to their babies, and the raw materials that surrounded them beckoned. From the Sumerians in 4000 BC to the Egyptians to the Roman Empire to ancient China, raffia, bamboo, grass and even banana leaves were woven into baskets and furniture. Wicker has rocked us into dreamy dazes on porches, cradled the fruit and potatoes in our kitchens and held millions of loads of laundry. It will always find a place in our surroundings as there is comfort in its timelessness.
