Collection: Grey Washed Rattan

Grey washed rattan sits somewhere between rustic and refined.

The woven texture gives each piece natural character, while the muted finish creates a softer alternative to traditional brown rattan. This makes it particularly useful in rooms where you want texture without introducing too much colour.

Each piece is handmade by skilled artisans in Myanmar. Therefore, subtle differences in weave and finish are part of its individual character.

Rather than keeping rattan only for storage, use these pieces throughout your home as part of the overall styling.

Grey Rattan Trays for Coffee Tables and Ottomans

A grey washed rattan tray can instantly make a surface feel more organised.

Place one on a coffee table with a candle, decorative bowl and a small vase. Alternatively, use a larger design across an ottoman to create a useful surface for drinks, books and accessories.

Grey rattan also works particularly well on kitchen islands and dining tables. Its woven finish adds texture against marble, wood and painted surfaces without making the display feel busy.

Practical Grey Rattan Storage Baskets

Open storage feels much more considered when the containers themselves look good.

Use grey rattan storage baskets for blankets in a living room, towels in a bathroom or everyday essentials in a utility space. Larger baskets are also useful beside sofas or underneath console tables.

For smaller items, woven baskets can help bring order to shelves and open cabinetry.

Because grey rattan has a softer finish, it blends easily into both pale and darker rooms. Browse our storage baskets and wicker baskets for more woven storage options.

Grey Washed Rattan Around the Dining Table

Woven tableware introduces texture without making dining spaces feel overly formal.

Grey washed rattan pairs especially well with white ceramics, clear glassware and natural linen. It also complements darker crockery when you want a more layered table setting.

Use woven pieces for everyday dining, relaxed entertaining or simple seasonal tables.

Unlike brightly coloured accessories, grey rattan can stay in place throughout the year. Simply change surrounding flowers, table linen and decorative pieces as the seasons change.

Rattan Furniture with a Softer Finish

Grey washed finishes can make rattan furniture feel particularly versatile.

A woven stool, small table or occasional piece brings texture into areas dominated by smooth cabinetry and upholstery. Meanwhile, its muted colouring prevents it from becoming too visually heavy.

Try a grey rattan piece beside a cream sofa, against warm painted walls or alongside rustic wooden furniture.

The combination of contrasting materials helps a room feel collected rather than overly coordinated.

Decorating with Grey Washed Rattan

One of the strengths of grey rattan is how easily it works with different colour schemes.

For a light, relaxed interior, combine it with warm whites, oatmeal, stone and soft taupe. Add faux greenery and simple ceramics for a calm finishing touch.

For a moodier look, place grey washed rattan against deeper greens, browns or charcoal tones. The woven texture softens darker colours and prevents the room from feeling flat.

It also pairs beautifully with aged wood, marble, linen and brushed metal.

Instead of repeating the same rattan finish everywhere, mix a few woven textures around the room. This creates a more natural and individual look.
