If you're looking for a material to give your home an instant lift this summer it's rattan. The palm material is ideal for giving homes a light, airy and natural feel, while also being incredibly design forward, and works for both indoors and outside.
And right now at George at Asda there are so many homeware pieces we simply need to add to our shopping trolleys that exactly fit the rattan bill. From decorative trays, to lampshades and even bedside tables, the supermarket has a whole host of products under £30 that will elevate your space for the upcoming season.
Rattan is just so suited to summer, as it gives a sophisticated beachy feel and whilst you don't need to redecorate your entire home, these products from Asda are a way to incorporate the trend into your home without breaking the banks.
The best rattan homeware from Asda
Tray
A tray is a great catchall for storing awkward items, like keys, remote controls, or loose change, and giving them a stylish place to rest (and somewhere you'll always find them). We love the look of this tray, with its sunny yellow floral design, on a side table in the hallway as a way to brighten up what can often be a less exciting space. You could also use the tray as a decorate piece on a coffee table with the lemon yellow a nice colour injection.
Storage box
Natural Flower-Shape Woven Rattan Storage Box
Natural Flower-Shape Woven Rattan Storage Box
Rattan storage boxes are a classic homeware look and we love this one from Asda with the sweet floral detailing and green edges. The small curved edge box would be ideal for bathroom storage, and keeping things like cotton pads and buds tucked away neatly.
Outdoor light shade
Ok so you might not be able to spend every weekend in a beachside bar in Ibiza, but you can make your garden feel like it with this outdoor lamp shade. The darker brown shade of the rattan creates a more luxurious feel and if you were to put up a few dotted around your garden you could create a really boujie beach club feel, for a fraction of the price of flying there.
Round mirror
This handwoven round mirror has so many good reviews, with many customers adding how much more expensive it looks than it actually costs. At just £18 it's an easy way to add that boho feel to your bedroom, and giving the space softness and texture thanks to the natural materials.
Cone table lamp
Curved or mushroom style lamps have been everywhere for the last year and this rattan lamp is a fun summery take on the trend. It would be perfectly placed in a lounge or study that gets filled with light to emphasise the natural texture of the lamp.
Bedside table
A bedside table for under £30? We are sold. This bedside table features a light wood look and a sweet rattan detail on the drawer that elevates it beyond a classic bedside table. It's easy to put together and would give any bedroom a natural and beachy feel. So while you may not be spending all summer in the sun, you can feel like it.
Ceiling lamp shade
With over 250 five star reviews, if you're looking for a natural rattan style ceiling lampshade you really can't go wrong with this one. It would look great in a dining room or bedroom to compliment any calming tones you have in a space. Many reviewers share what great light it casts, especially when combined with a darker moody amber light.
