Martha Stewart designed a chair inspired by her rustic Bedford farm – it's the perfect accent for 'discerning interior enthusiasts' (and nearly 50% off now)
Stewart created a '60s-inspired coastal chair in a neutral colorway that promises 'year-round beauty' – and it's currently at one of the lowest prices we've seen


If you're familiar with Martha Stewart's property portfolio, her Bedford farm will need no introduction. The 1920s estate epitomizes the mogul's traditional yet elegant style – from the cream farmhouse kitchen to the pale blue, English-style living room. If you were to capture the home's overall aesthetic and turn it into a tangible piece of furniture, you would do so with something utterly timeless like rattan, which, coincidently, is exactly what Stewart has done.
Martha Stewart's collection for Wayfair is a trove of hidden accent chairs that will look beautiful in every kind of living room – whether you're looking for a subtle palette to complement a minimalist space or you're going to decorate with maximalist prints. However, the Isla Farmhouse Accent Chair (available at Wayfair), which pays homage to Bedford, is quickly becoming our favorite.
'Taking inspiration from her farm in Bedford, NY, Martha Stewart’s Isla bench features a tufted upholstered seat and cane insets in the track arms, complementing a neutral color palette for year-round beauty,' the specification notes. With nearly half price off, we've rarely seen this chair so accessible. With such a reduction, we expect it will sell out fast, so act now.
The transitional cane/ rattan armchair features an upholstered attached seat and back cushion in an elegant striped print. Its '60s-inspired rattan body perfectly complements the coastal-inspired upholstery – making it the perfect addition to any Hamptons-inspired living room. We can't believe you can get something so beautiful for under $350.
Rattan's eternal appeal needs no explanation. Alongside its retro-style aesthetic and durability, it has sustainable qualities, as design experts explain.
'Rattan furniture is natural, sturdy and also steeped in tradition – the process of hand-weaving rattan furniture embodies a time-honored tradition, its story spans continents, artists, and craftsmen,' comments Georgia Metcalfe, the founder and creative director at French Bedroom. 'In a world that is rapidly (and rightfully) seeking more sustainable choices, rattan stands out as a beacon of hope. Not just an eco-friendly option, its beauty and durability make it an obvious choice for discerning interior enthusiasts.'
Plus, as Metcalfe explains (and Stewart's chair emphasizes), rattan is eternally versatile – and will impress in every kind of living room.
We love rattan – as a natural fiber, its organic gradient of browns and yellows seamlessly blends with most color palettes, making it a favorite amongst interior designers and sitting perfectly with the emerging trend for browns and natural textures,' she adds.

'Rattan is one of those rare natural materials you can feel really good about. The harvest of rattan supports the livelihoods of millions of people living in several tropical nations.'
It may be unsurprising, therefore, that the accent chair is not the only time we've seen Stewart's experiment with rattan. You can shop more of her pieces below.
Perfect for storage
Trust Martha Stewart to make storage feel timeless. She's leaned into a retro design trend influencing the accessories we introduce into our homes for 2025 – and it's sure to complement any other colors and textures you have in your space. Plus, it keeps things organized (a qulaity that's almost easy to forget, considering its good looks).
Also from the Martha Stewart Bedford farmhouse Collection, this Harley end table comes in modern contemporary design with a hint of farmhouse rustic appeal showcasing the ash veneer table top and accented with lower rattan cane shelf for a unique finish.
Tablescaping essential
Nothing says fall like warm, rustic accessories, making this woven placement a must-have in our eyes. Made from 100% rattan material in a basket woven style, this lightweight piece is perfect for both casual and formal dining depending on your tableware style.
