Design Tips for Wall Art and Wall Mounted Storage Solutions
Diverse Aesthetics
The beauty of natural materials such as rattan, is their warm tone and semi-gloss, smooth texture, which renders them incredibly versatile in complementing your home decor. Whether your interior theme is bohemian, coastal or contemporary, the neutral materiality of rattan allows it to always complement, and not compete, with your statement pieces or intended style. Investing in rattan wall art or wall mounted storage adds layers of interest, depth and texture to your spaces which keeps them inviting and cozy.
Size appropriately
When selecting wall art and wall mounted storage solutions, consider the proportion of your rooms and available wall space. Selecting a rattan piece which is oversized results in a Statement piece and creates a focal point of interest for your space. Selecting smaller rattan pieces add intricacy and tranquility to a room, whilst complementing other decor.
Mix and Match with Other Materials
The timeless, neutral textures of natural materials complement one another so it is ideal to have a mix in your home styling. The aesthetic of rattan wall art and shelves are enhanced when paired with materials such as wood, woven fabrics and rugs within the same space. Together the layers of texture and tones highlight the beauty of handcrafted rattan and result in a home which feels harmonious and organic.

How to Care for Your Wall Art and Shelves
Regular Dusting
To keep your wall art and shelves looking their best, regularly dust them with a soft cloth or brush. This simple step helps prevent dust and dirt from building up in the intricate weaves, ensuring that the natural beauty and texture of your mirrors, shelves and other exquisite pieces remain pristine. By dedicating a few moments to regular dusting, you preserve the vibrancy and charm of your decor, allowing it to continue enhancing your home with its unique character and warmth.
Avoid Direct Sunlight
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause materials to fade, potentially diminishing the vibrant hues and natural charm of your wall art and shelves. To maintain their natural color and beauty, place your wall art and shelves in spots that get indirect sunlight.
Gentle Cleaning
For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth dipped in water. Gently wipe the surface of your wall art and shelves and let them air dry completely before rehanging or re-stocking your items. This gentle approach ensures that the natural beauty and texture of your decor are preserved, keeping your home adorned with vibrant and well-maintained pieces that stand the test of time.
Naturally ventilated
To ensure the longevity and freshness of your wall art and shelves, place them in a naturally ventilated area. This allows for proper air circulation, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of natural materials like rattan. Providing good ventilation helps prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to mold or mildew growth.
Keep Dry
To ensure the longevity and beauty of your wall art and shelves, keep them indoors and away from wet areas where water can pool or wet the rattan. By keeping them in a dry environment, you protect the natural materials from moisture damage.
