The different varieties of rattan: an initial choice of color
For the structure of your furniture, two main varieties of rattan are available, each offering distinct aesthetic possibilities for your chairs and furnishings, on which weaving and colors have a different impact:
- Light Rattan (Manila): Brings a natural and bright touch, especially suitable for vibrant or pastel colors, creating a fresh and welcoming atmosphere.
- Dark Rattan (Malacca): Offers an elegant and sophisticated base, ideal for pairing with rich, deep colors, adding a note of luxury and refinement.
The choice between light and dark rattan already sets a significant aesthetic direction for your pieces, influencing the contrast and harmony with your chosen colors.

How to choose the perfect color for your rattan chair?
Harmony with your interior
For a harmonious decor, it’s essential to coordinate the colors of your chairs with your walls, floors, and other elements in your space. A subtle blend of tones can add a touch of elegance and refinement. Colors influence the atmosphere: warm, vibrant tones like red, orange, or yellow bring energy and joy, while cool, calming shades like blue, green, or purple create a peaceful ambiance. These choices can have a significant impact on the mood of your spaces, whether for a lively environment or a relaxing retreat.
Creating contrast for striking visual effect
To make your furniture stand out and catch the eye, don’t hesitate to use contrasting colors! On the color wheel, opposites like red and green, orange and blue, or yellow and purple create a bold contrast, making each color more vivid and intense when placed side by side. This technique can add vibrancy to your decor. Alternatively, these colors can neutralize each other when blended, which can also be an interesting option depending on the desired effect.
The emotional impact of color
Colors play a crucial role in influencing emotions and mood. Warm, bright colors boost energy and happiness, while cool tones bring serenity and calm. Consider these effects when choosing the ideal color for your rattan chairs to create an ambiance that aligns with your needs and preferences.
Color relationships
Color relationships come in many forms: monochromatic, analogous, complementary, triadic, tetradic, neutral, and random. The simplest relationship, monochromatic, uses a single color with different shades and variations. Understanding these relationships helps you choose colors that harmonize with your interior and create the desired effect.
