GARDEN DESIGN
Weatherproof
As we all know , living in the UK , our weather can be somewhat unpredictable . One day will be blazing sun and the next we ’ ll see a downpour of rain .
Some traditional garden furniture will require you to move it inside or it will break down quickly as it cannot withstand the weather elements very well . But with rattan , you can leave it outside in the sun or rain and you ’ ll have very little maintenance to perform to keep it in top condition .
The synthetic weave will repel water and will not fade easily under heavy
UV rays . This durability will ensure your rattan furniture will last for years to come .
Low Maintenance
As with anything that sits out in the garden all year round , you ’ ll need a little bit of maintenance to keep it in tip-top condition . The handy thing about rattan furniture is that you can easily spray it down with a hose or get a bucket of soap and water and wipe it down with a cloth .
This could be done only a few times a year to give your furniture extra longevity . On top of that , covering your rattan furniture when not in use during the colder months will help keep dirt and grime off .
Versatile Style
Rattan furniture can suit a variety of styles . Whether you ’ re after a contemporary and sophisticated style , a minimalist uncluttered style or a boho free-spirited aesthetic that mixes different cultures , you can dress your rattan furniture to suit anything .
With a few blankets , cushions and even a small lick of paint can dramatically alter the style of your rattan furniture to suit your current vision of your garden .
