Interiors Trend: Cane Furniture & Bamboo Homeware Is Everywhere
From colour popping mirrors and picture frames to retro-inspired statement chairs and console tables, cane furniture and bamboo homeware are everywhere right now. Scroll to shop our edit to bring a hint of modern nostalgia to your living space.
If you’re a fan of the raffia homeware trend, you’re going to love this. Of the same ilk, bamboo or bamboo-inspired interiors pieces – from artisanal woodwork to high street faux options – add a vintage feel to a room. It’s a look that really works everywhere in the home, from bamboo or cane fronted cabinets to create a stylish space for the TV to table legs made from the material in a dining space. It also brings a soft, rustic feel to bathrooms, whether that’s in the furniture or with a cane-wrapped mirror hanging over the sink. And finally, one of our favourite ways to work the trend is in a children’s bedroom. Shelving in a bamboo finish can be curved and manipulated into sweet shapes like rainbows or scalloped edging to bring a playful edge to your little one’s walls.
Bamboo can bring a softer edge to bigger wood items thanks to its malleable quality. We love the retro feel and curved lines of this stunning bamboo filled home on the island of Mustique.
There are also plenty of bamboo or cane-inspired pieces popping up everywhere right now, which are made of faux but very authentic looking woods or ceramics. This leads nicely into colour popping “bamboo” accessories like mirrors, pictures frames and handles, which add a retro charm to the walls or corners of your home, whilst ensuring you the materials are sourced ethically and sustainably too. Read on for our top picks and ways to work it into your home, from bedrooms to bathrooms and beyond.
These are our top cane furniture and bamboo homeware pieces…
Bamboo Accessories
Simple and cost effective with plenty of payoff, transforming a cabinet’s or drawers handles is a smart interiors hack. We have fallen hard for Matilda Goad’s (is there anything she can’t do?) bamboo-effect handles. We love the rustic, pared back finish next to glossier materials like marble and quartz.

Bamboo Homeware In Children’s Rooms
Bamboo really lends itself well to children’s bedrooms thanks to the soft, curved effect that can be achieved. We love the rainbow-shaped Global Explorer shelves for storying books and knick-knacks as it feels age appropriate and playful but also chic.
