Entertain your friends in comfort with cane furniture

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

When the weather allows us to pamper ourselves by sitting out in the garden or entertaining friends and neighbours, there needs to be  enough comfortable seating available.

The most flexible seating for out in a garden and in the home is patio furniture. Cane sofas or cane suites are light , easily moved from area to area, can hold up to wear and tear, and easy to keep clean.

Outdoor wicker furniture or cane furniture as it is referred to by many is a natural product.

There are many pieces or wicker or cane furniture to choose from, each piece being made individually to fit into the smallest of corners in a garden, back yard or patio.

Furniture that is light enough to be moved around can be used indoors when the weather is not good enough to sit or eat outside. Traditional cane furniture is beautiful, with its natural weave being shown at its best in cane sofas, cane chairs and matching cane tables.

It is ideal if you accidentally leave it outside and it rains. Once your cane furniture is wet, leave it to dry in its natural shape.

Sometimes, if left out too long, cane furniture may show some signs of mildew. Naturally, it will need a wipe with a damp cloth and moved to a dry area, to make sure that there would not be any permanent damage.

At 1st for Cane, we have a wide selection of cane furniture for outdoor and indoor use.

Information about cane, the natural material

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

It can be difficult for a person to tell the difference between cane furniture, wicker furniture and rattan furniture. Cane itself is mainly used as conservatory furniture; it has a good reputation for being strong and durable. Some popular pieces of cane furniture are cane sofas, cane tables and, of course, any of these pieces can be used in any room.

What most people do not realise is that cane is the stem of a rattan vine; its joints meet the palm leaf of the plant. New vines have to be left to develop and grow for up to 15 years, before being strong enough to be cut and used for Cane furniture.

In South East Asia, you will find cane being used as scaffolding for buildings, the same way that builders in this country use metal scaffolding. Rattan is the solid core found at the bottom of a vine, which means it is also an ideal choice as a material for manufacturing rattan furniture.

Rattan conservatory furniture, or outdoor rattan garden furniture, is growing in popularity with homeowners who want to use their furniture throughout the year. Wicker is a type of weave and you will hear many times the term ‘wickerwork’ being used, which is simply the name of the weave. Wicker conservatory furniture shows off its intricate weave – the darker colour of the weave looks absolutely wonderful with an array of bright seat cushions.

At 1st For Cane, we have a wide range of Cane, Rattan and Wicker furniture available.

Cane comes in many different forms, many of which would be impossible to recreate with other materials, and it adds somewhat of a natural, calm feel to any room it is placed in. Although cane is light and can appear to be flimsy, it is actually a very strong material which will easily withstand any knocks and scrapes which may occur. Over the years the upholstery on cane furniture has improved immensely and there are many modern designs available rather than just the traditional and somewhat outdated designs which spring to mind when most of us think of cane furniture.

Another factor that cane furniture has in its favour is the fact that it is very low maintenance and does not get dirty easily. Simply wiping your cane furniture with a cloth is enough to keep it clean and shiny.

Cane Furniture Makes A Great Substitute For Wooden Furniture

Friday, November 27th, 2009

When furnishing their homes, most people automatically opt for wooden furniture. This is the safe option, the option which is most common, but it is not the only furnishing option available. Cane furniture makes a great alternative to wooden furniture for many reasons and it can look every bit as stylish if you choose well-made pieces such as the pieces here at 1st For Cane.

Wooden furniture is traditional. In most cultures, wooden furniture has been valued and treasure over the years, with antique pieces selling well if the are of good quality. However, modern furniture industries have changed and sought out new solutions wherever possible. Cane furniture is one of the biggest growing types of furniture and gets more popular year after year. As we all become more concerned about the environment, it is only natural that we seek furniture from more sustainable sources and cane is perfect for this. It is also perfect for the current trend of decorating our homes in a more natural style as it blends in well with outdoor environments and helps to bring a piece of the outdoors, indoors.

Cane furniture is also very simple. It looks very elegant, but it is not over the top.

Most cane furniture is handmade and it is clear that a lot of love and skill has gone into crafting a good piece of cane furniture. This is much more appealing than a mass produced piece of furniture or a cheap flat pack which has no personality and probably will not last you all that long. Cane furniture also compares well to wooden furniture in the price stakes and a quality piece of cane can often be found cheaper than a comparable wooden piece.
