ON TREND: Raffia in Home Decor
I recently featured a raffia side table in my last blog on FAB FINDS for the bedroom. This emergence of raffia being seen in furniture more and more lately was worth a blog just on it alone, featuring all my favorite raffia pieces I love right now.
By definition, raffia is a natural fiber created from a palm plant that can be both dyed and woven as a textile. That versatility allows it to be used in so many ways in home decor items. While it has always been a well-known textile, I think it is having a moment right now in furniture and accessories due to the natural textured look it gives off. Natural organic textures and colors are on trend right now, and raffia helps bring that trend to life in furniture,often being wrapped around wooden furniture pieces. A lot the pieces I love right now featuring it are examples of how it can look natural, but also high quality and luxe with modern elements like gold hardware being added to the pieces.
