Looking at the different seasons with rattan furniture

Sunday, June 20th, 2010

Once the cold winter weather has passed, it is time to tidy up the garden and start enjoying the light nights of spring and summer. The different seasons of the year bring with them a different set of jobs to do. Spring is when your garden is crying out for attention, and the outdoor rattan furniture is in the shed, but is ready for a clean.

Cushions that may have become a little dusty need washing and drying, ready for the wonderful evenings sat outside, reading a book or entertaining friends. In the summer months, when the warmer weather appears, cleaning the barbecue is the task in hand, ready for great food and good company.

When entertaining friends, it is fortunate that rattan garden furniture is not only low-maintenance, but is strong and durable, as there can be a few accidents with spillages. Spillages are no problem; a quick wipe down over your rattan furniture with a soft cloth will be enough to clean them.

When the autumn months are drawing in, and the falling leaves are becoming a problem, there is still time to have a barbeque, or roast a few potatoes on an open bonfire. Outdoor rattan furniture is manufactured to a high enough standard to withstand the varying seasons. When winter comes, it is time your rattan furniture had a quick wipe over before settling it away for next spring.

At 1st For Cane, we have a wide range of the latest designs of Rattan furniture for your enjoyment.

Rattan furniture for any room in the house

Friday, April 30th, 2010

If you are in the mood to redecorate any room in your home and replace some of your furniture then the ideal choice of furniture has to be cane furniture. Whether you have chosen to set out your home to be multifunctional, or have a more formal space, cane furniture – with its beautiful variety of colours – will appeal.

Depending on the size of the home you live in and who you share it with can make a difference. If you are going to be sharing your newly decorated room with young children on a regular basis choose a set of Rattan furniture that is of a sturdier design. Avoid placing a wicker rocking chair in this room for safety reasons.

Sometimes it is not practical to totally replace your existing furniture and that is where Rattan furniture excels. Different styles of Rattan furniture can be incorporated into existing types of decor, and even outdoor furniture. The secret is to complement the colours, rather than trying to match up the different pieces of furniture.

The natural fibres of Rattan furniture creates harmony within a room and will blend in with both modern and traditional wooden furniture. To bring more balance to a room, look to complementing all your furniture with natural products such as linen curtains, cushions and rugs.

If seating in your room is a problem then look for smaller, unusual shapes of cane furniture that has been designed with smaller spaces in mind.

At 1st For Cane we have many modern and unusual designs in cane  and wicker furniture.

Some practical information about cane furniture

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

Conservatory furniture has always been associated with cane or bamboo, although most people do not realise that it is most likely to be made from a material called rattan. The material itself makes excellent cane furniture due to its strength and its ability to bend into many pieces of rattan furniture and other home accessories. Rattan is a solid core vine, while bamboo is hollow.

Outdoor rattan furniture is always popular as the material stands up to the wear and tear of family use, indoors and outdoors. Rattan is so strong and flexible that it is also used in sections to build scaffolding in South East Asia.

Fine cane is ideal for making cane furniture, and is used to stain some pieces of furniture for a more unusual effect. Some of the cane tables and cane sofas have designs that show off the type of weave that is derived from wicker. The overall finish is superb, with a mix of designs and patterned furniture that looks elegant in any room.

Other designs that can be incorporated into rattan furniture are achieved by weaving in swamp grasses, such as the reed. Reed is a material that is associated with the core of the Rattan vine and can be found in early American wicker chairs and cane furniture. Wicker furniture first became popular in America around 1850 and is now enjoying a new surge of popularity.

At 1st For Cane we stock a range of both traditional and modern pieces of cane, rattan and wicker furniture.

Cane furniture stays the distance

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

When looking for new furniture for your home or garden, you will probably be looking for pieces that will last you for years to come. If that is the case, cane furniture is a perfect choice. Most people, when furnishing the home or garden opt for wood, metal and plastic but few consider the considerable benefits which come with buying cane furniture.

Cane furniture is one of strongest types of furniture out there and it comes at an affordable price. This makes it excellent value for money as it will last you for several years and, in many cases, is more affordable than other popular types of furniture.  What’s more, cane furniture will last for many years with only a minimum amount of maintenance.

The cane furniture here at 1st For Cane Furniture pretty much looks after itself, requiring little more than a dust to keep it looking good. Whereas wooden furniture needs to be polished and metal furniture is prone to rusting. It also stands up well to knocks and scrapes, coming away with minimum or no damage in most cases.

If you are looking for outdoor furniture, no other material compares to cane. Metal furniture will rust when it is outdoors for prolonged periods, wood tends to rot and dull over the years and plastic outdoor furniture is often flimsy and cheap looking. By contrast, cane is waterproof, insulates the heat and looks elegant in an outdoor setting. When it comes to the garden, cane furniture is the only furniture with lasting power.
