Furniture made from rattan material does not always look ancient. Modification of rattan furniture can look modern and more attractive so it is worth is placed in the room of your home.
Rattan including unique material than natural materials in general. Rattan tend to be more flexible and easily applied to complement the interior of the house. Tracing the development, the actual material has been used since the first cane as raw material for furniture. Only, its development was not like now.
When used only for the use of rattan chairs and tables, wicker can now be used as the base material to make partitions, ceiling, or wall. This is justified by the architect Nunung Adywijaya. According to him, rattan has since become the raw material used furniture, particularly in eastern Indonesia. Just fewer than the current utilization of rattan is more widely applied as insulation, replacement of wall, ceiling or used as material. "All this because of the unique character of rattan," he said. 

Because it is also more demand than rattan wood materials. Because, compared to wood, rattan is a high level of flexibility. Evidently, these materials are easily formed according to the needs of the desired elements of the house. "But, again returned to the craftsmen. Because, although the process is relatively easy work, if that do not get used, the result would still be ugly, "added Nunung. 

In addition to its easy to apply a complementary element of the house, another advantage rattan is stronger and lighter. While the view weakness, rattan getting rotten due attacked by fleas or too frequently exposed to water. For that, Nunung suggested, should give
anti-lice coating for more durable rattan and durable. 

So, how its application in the house? Some people think that, by applying the cane, more memorable home warm and natural. Though it might not happen if you are wrong to apply them. Thus, before applying, there are a few things to note. 


The first, before putting rattan, first consider the theme of space to be constructed. Space will look more beautiful if the theme of space with the element used is a unity of the concept. One way, combine the concept of space with color rattan. Currently, rattan is not only appear to the character of the original color. Manufacturers have a lot of selling rattan cane in different color variants. Just how do you adjust them with the initial concept of space. 

Next, place them wisely and make a proper balanced in composition. In a sense, determine first whether the cane is to be used as an accent or complement the house alone? If as an accent, rattan make it stand out, but do not need to dominate. "Do not because you want to highlight the cane, all materials following accessories use rattan furniture," said Nunung. 

Instead, he suggested, apply 60% of rattan material while the rest can be combined with other materials or elements. Take for example, using a rattan chair with cushion seat sofa. While the desk you can choose a round or square shape, combined with the glass material. In order to maximize their natural impression, you can apply the wallpaper in one part of a wall or backdrop chair. "Motif wallpaper select a natural," suggested Nunung. 

In addition, said the nanny-arsitek.com Adiwijaya website, adjust the pattern of rattan with the elements that would be applied. For example, rattan as a wall, then choose the appropriate pattern of rattan with the characteristics of the wall. "From the pattern that we can use as an accent or focal point of the room," said Nunung.
