Rattan daybeds represent a summer allure that is irresistible. I’ve seen a lot of rattan daybeds surfing around in the Interior Design world lately, and every interpretation of its use is equally beautiful as well as warm. With all the tropical influence in design nowadays, you may be hearing the word rattan or wicker a lot. Actually many people get confused about the difference between the two. Well, be confused no more, the simple difference between rattan and wicker is that rattan is the material used, while wicker is the woven technique employed to make the furniture.
