Woven IKEA Furniture: Relax with Rattan

In our New Year’s Eve Resolutions post, I described mirrors that embody our goals for the new year. In trying to be calmer and down to earth, I talked about The IKEA MISSVEDEN Mirror and its sturdy weave of rattan frame – how the mirror exudes a calmness that reminds us to take a deep breath. And as the days of January 2021 unfold one after the other, I realize I’m going to need to manifest a lot more calmness this year.

So I went down the IKEA Rattan rabbit hole and found enough home pieces to create a woven rattan nest. And although I’m not going to go so far as buy everything listed (probably), just one of these rattan home pieces can trigger the waft of waves blowing in your ears, the grind of smooth sand beneath your curling toes, and the icy chill of a cold beer in your hand as you watch the sun fall on your beachy shore. 

I need a lot of that energy right now, so let’s dive into IKEA’s hottest rattan items:
