How To Decorate With Bamboo And Rattan

Both bamboo and rattan are two green options you can choose when decorating your home. They can be used in a variety of ways and not just for furniture. They also come with another advantage: they’re inexpensive. To understand just how versatile and stylish these two materials can be, check out the following examples.

Bamboo.

Use bamboo to camouflage a wall or a fence. Space them out so they have room to grow. Although thin and skinny, the plants are not likely to go unnoticed.
