I still remember the glee I felt when I moved into my very first apartment. After years of decorating and redecorating my childhood bedroom (and every other room Mom would let me get my hands on), I finally had a place of my own to trick up.

To stretch my decorating dollars, I liked to hunt for finds at flea markets and antique malls. It was in these dusty gold mines that I fell hard for furnishings and accents made of wicker and bamboo.

Today I’m still just as smitten by the organic lines, rustic texture and romantic grace of wicker and bamboo. And through the years, these natural wonders have become an integral part of the Nell Hill’s look. Here are some tips for incorporating these beautiful and Earth-friendly pieces into your home.

Today’s wicker furnishings have come a long way from that crazy, creaky chair you had in your college dorm room. Now, wicker is not only sturdy, it’s incredibly chic. In fact, today’s wicker is so stylish it will be at home in every room of your house.

Wicker is so neutral you can pick pillows in just about any style or hue, and it looks great. My favorite color combination right now is cream and brown jazzed up with an infusion of green, gold or orange. I like to pick a mix of fabrics that weave in a variety of patterns, such as buffalo checks, geometric shapes and images of nature, such as palm leaves.

If you’ve confined your wicker furniture to your back porch or patio up until now, why not invite it in when the weather gets cooler? Instead of storing your wicker chaise, sofa, chairs and ottoman in the garage or basement, work them into your interior decor. If the seat cushions are a bit weather-worn, freshen them with new slipcovers. Or just slip them into a king-sized pillowcase, tucking the open end underneath the cushion.

Furniture made from sustainable materials such as bamboo, rattan and wicker is hotter than ever right now. When I went to the huge High Point furniture market this year, I was so impressed by the range of beautiful pieces that I ordered hutches, dressers, accent tables, desks and chairs made from bamboo and wicker.

If you’d like to experiment with bamboo or wicker in your decor, start by adding just a piece or two. Put a bamboo end table in your living room. Ring your dining-room table with rattan chairs. Spice up your bedroom with a wicker chest of drawers. Store your china in a bamboo hutch. Or tuck a wicker bench at the foot of your bed.

You can put bamboo and wicker in unusual places, too. For instance, a few years ago, I bought a cute bamboo vanity for my downstairs powder room. After 20 years, I still love it. It hasn’t lost its beauty and is so neutral that I can put anything with it.

Wicker table has been a lengthy time favorite. There are several reasons why this type of furniture has held its place for so lengthy as a preferred outdoor choice for furniture. Wicker table is either natural or synthetic. The natural version can be made from cane material or skinny branches, even reeds have been known to be made into wicker. Traditionally natural wicker table is made from the willow. The material is processed and woven always into a pattern. Synthetic wicker is usually plastic that’s woven into a traditional wicker pattern. Wicker is more of the art of weaving material than it is a substance.

This type of furniture is durable when it’s nicely made. It can withstand the elements and is generally maintenance free. It’s usually open in an array of styles which makes it a good choice for mixing and matching pieces. It looks great even after years of use. It becomes weathered over time which makes it appear much more appealing. As it becomes weathered it has a very distinguished finish to it. It can be very easily painted if the natural look is not for you. It is comfy and very sturdy.

If it’s not well made it can unravel in certain sections and pieces can break off. There is a treatment process that is very important in creating this type of furniture if it is not really followed during manufacturing and the wicker is not given enough time to cure, or if the process is rushed the furniture will suffer and be of a lesser quality. It can become dried out and brittle over time if it was not really processed correctly during the manufacturing of it.

There are many styles and patterns to choose from. The natural wicker will be much more expensive than the synthetic wicker, but the synthetic wicker will probably last longer than the natural. There are couches, tables, chairs, rocking chairs, foot stools, benches and a host of other items that can be made from wicker. Each item can be purchased individually or it can be purchased as a set. Usually there are removable cushions on the furniture that are easily changed out to add a different style to your set each season.

The style flexibility is unlimited. Wicker table is elegant, usually in vogue and a great way to decorate your deck or patio. It is always reasonably priced and can come in numerous styles and can be built for many functions.
