In this natural materials post I have teamed up with
Wovenhill, a company based in Stratford-upon-Avon specialising in quality rattan garden furniture. They sent me this large natural rattan storage trunk, which I use as a side table in our sitting room.
I had been looking for a side table for our sitting room. I wanted something practical that wasn't heavy, and preferably something that could also be used as storage. This rattan storage trunk was heaven-sent. As you can see, it is quite large. Not only can I store blankets and other textiles in it, but also things that we don't have a need for on a daily basis. On top of the lid I keep a lamp and some books (missing in the photo is the tray I use when I take my coffee in there).
Wovenhill offers four types of
rattan storage trunks, Hatton, Marlow, Twyford and Walton, which are available in three sizes: medium, large, extra large (they offer more trunks, not only rattan). The dimensions differ slightly between the types so make sure to view the dimensions before choosing a trunk for your home. The trunks are also available in sets. The colours are natural, brown, mocha or white-washed, depending on the type.
• removable lid and hole carry handles
• removable off-white cotton lining
I took this close-up to help you get a feel for the texture of the trunk, which I absolutely love.
