The year 2025 has brought a resurgence of silhouettes and materials from the 1970s. Rattan furniture, especially when arranged on the patio, is one of the most eternally popular (and currently trendy) styles popularized by this era. It shows no signs of slowing down.
'We love to see the rattan furniture trend going into 2025,' explains Nicola Shaw, Senior Head of Homeware Buying at Urban Outfitters. 'With indoor/outdoor style staying key, rattan continues to be a timeless investment that can fit effortlessly into every space, no matter the size. The beauty of rattan is that its raw material makes it easy for you to match it to your vibe.'
If you're as in love with the rattan interior design trend as we are, you're in luck. Martha Stewart has designed the perfect outdoor dining chair for replicating the look in any home. Enter: the Martha Stewart Bedford Outdoor Rattan Wicker Stackable Side Dining Chairs, available at Wayfair.
