Raffia baskets: stylish, eco-friendly storage

Not only are raffia baskets practical for storage, they also add a decorative touch that enhances any room. Available in a variety of sizes and shapes, they can be used to organize a variety of items, from blankets to toys to houseplants. Whether in the living room, bedroom or bathroom, raffia baskets add a warm, natural feel.

Design tip:

Arrange several baskets of different sizes and patterns for a harmonious decorative effect. In a modern home, choose neutral-colored baskets for a minimalist feel, while colorful, woven baskets add a more bohemian style. Use larger baskets as planters to enhance the natural feel of the room.

Raffia rugs: natural style underfoot

A raffia rug is perfect for adding character and authenticity to a room. This durable material is equally at home in the living room or bedroom, and can even be used in modern or industrial spaces. Placed under a coffee table or in a hallway, a raffia rug is an eye-catcher and that adds warmth to your home.

Furnishing tip :

Place a large raffia rug under your dining table to create a natural, convivial dining area, or a small raffia rug in an entrance hall for a warm welcome. Pair it with light wood furniture for a Scandinavian style, or with metal pieces for an industrial touch.

Raffia hanging lamps and shades: for soft, warm lighting

Hanging lamps and lampshades made of raffia diffuse a soft light and create a cozy atmosphere in any room of the house. Not only do they look good, but they can easily be combined with natural elements such as wood and green plants to create a harmonious overall look.

Design tip 

Install raffia pendants over your dining table or in a reading corner to create a soothing atmosphere. Use warm light bulbs to enhance the cocooning effect and bring out the texture of the raffia. You can also place them in groups of different sizes to create a unique visual effect.

Mirrors surrounded by raffia: a chic and original asset

A raffia-wrapped mirror becomes an instant eye-catcher and adds hand-crafted charm. Whether in an entrance hall, living room or bedroom, this type of mirror adds relief to the wall and enriches the room’s decor with a natural touch.

Design advice 

To maximize its decorative effect, place a raffia mirror above a sideboard or chest of drawers, or create a wall composition by mixing different raffia mirrors. This tip works particularly well in a bohemian or ethnic décor.

Raffia chairs and armchairs: comfort and authenticity

Raffia chairs and armchairs add a handcrafted, natural touch, ideal for lounging areas or dining rooms. For added comfort, combine them with soft cushions, while retaining their authentic charm.

Design tip 

Create a reading corner with a raffia armchair, comfortable cushions and a cozy rug. In the dining room, raffia chairs around a solid wood table will create a warm, rustic style.

Raffia placemats and table runners: a natural touch on the table

Raffia table accessories, such as placemats and runners, bring a unique texture and natural look to your meals. They’re perfect for creating a warm, elegant atmosphere at mealtimes, while adding a touch of craftsmanship.

Design advice 

For a harmonious table setting, combine raffia placemats with ceramic crockery and linen napkins. Add a few candles and dried flowers to complete the ambience. For a tropical feel, choose colorful raffia placemats combined with wooden elements.

Decorative objects in raffia: subtle and elegant

As well as large items, small raffia objects such as planters, storage boxes and decorative cushions add character to an interior. These subtle touches are particularly well suited to those who want to integrate raffia gently into their décor.

Design tip 

Put out a raffia planter for your houseplants, or use raffia boxes to store accessories while adding a chic touch to a shelf. On a sofa or armchair, add raffia cushions for added comfort and style.
