When people begin implementing wicker furniture in their home decor, they appreciate the benefits of wicker for indoor use. However, changing indoor decor can be challenging, especially when trying to blend the new wicker furniture with existing non-wicker pieces. As your wicker experts, this week we’re guiding you through the best tips for merging your new wicker furniture with your existing indoor design.
Tip One: Start with baby steps
Using wicker indoors can become addictive once you realize the drastic change it can have on your design. Wicker creates a unique atmosphere and can either be dramatized to make a statement or can be used in subtle pieces throughout a room to create an open feel and a beach-like vibe. By starting small, such as implementing a chair, footrest, or small wicker side table, you can ease your decor in to wicker. After taking baby steps with wicker, you’ll feel more comfortable making wicker additions to different rooms, and will better understand what type of wicker you prefer for your home. Now is the time to purchase that massive wicker statement couch you’ve been eyeing, or implement that wicker bed frame you’ve been dreaming about.
Tip Two: Begin with low traffic rooms
Implementing wicker in your home decor is exciting, and can completely transform a room. That’s why we recommend your first indoor wicker piece to be used in a room with less traffic, so you can feel more freedom for experimentation. Perhaps you want a colored wicker piece, or some unique wicker wall art. Instead of buying your first wicker piece for the living room or man cave, start with a room where you feel more freedom, such as a spare bedroom or guest bathroom, so you don’t subconsciously allow your nervousness for the new decor to stop you from making fun or edgy decorating decisions.
Tip Three: Do your research
As we mentioned, buying wicker for indoor use can be an addictive decorating choice. We’re excited for you to begin this journey into evolving your home decor. However, unlike many other furniture options, wicker is a bit more complex. There are different materials of wicker, different functions, different ways to care for wicker furniture, and many other facets to consider when diving in. Consider all of your options, different purposes of implementing different wicker furniture, and consult any friends or family you know who might be able to provide insight.
