Why choose a rattan bedhead?
- Durability – We know a bedhead isn’t something you want to change regularly. But thankfully, rattan is an ultra-tough fibrous material that stands up to almost anything you throw it and last for years.
- It’s environmentally sound – If you’re conscious of your carbon footprint, a rattan headboard is a fantastic choice because the material is fast-growing, highly sustainable and doesn’t require chopping down entire trees. In its natural form, rattan is also biodegradable, so it’s a massive win for the planet as well as your interior styling.
- Versatility – Especially in a natural tone or white, a rattan bedhead pairs beautifully with almost any colour and most interior styles.
- Warmth factor – A bedroom should always feel inviting and a rattan bedhead brings warmth and cosiness while still looking every bit the designer piece.
- Beauty – Elegant with a sprinkle of rustic goodness, rattan looks beautiful in many homes, from boho beach houses to French provincial living.

How do you style a rattan bedhead?
Styling a rattan bedhead is actually very easy due to its versatile look. As a beautiful material that’s often celebrated in its natural colour, rattan is actually really easy to dress up or down for the look and feel you’re after. Here are some ideas for styling your wicker headboard:
- Bring fresh whites and neutral tones to the room, from white sheers to bedroom rugs in light hues.
- Try bringing more rattan into the equation for extra bohemian vibes, perhaps in a stylish laundry basket or with a classic papasan chair placed in the corner of the room.
- Add a splash of colour to the neutral palette with statement wallpaper, floor pillows and wall art.
- Use featured pendant lighting on either side of the headboard to elevate the space.
