Wicker isn't only for the warmer months. As versatile furniture, wicker often has a fun and unusual character and is used for casual and formal pieces. Wicker furniture for indoor uses is made primarily out of the cores of rattan stalks, willow switches, reeds, or bamboo woven together and finished or painted white Many pieces of such furniture, however, are designed for outdoor use. Although traditional wicker can be placed outdoors temporarily, resin or synthetic materials are better for consistent outside use.
Sets of wicker furniture are created for every room in a home. For a living space, wicker is used for all pieces: A sofa and large chairs have a woven wicker frame and upholstered seats, and a similar coffee table with a glass top may be at the center. Such furniture can be found for other rooms in the house. Wicker bedroom sets, for example, have a sturdy, woven frame for a mattress, and work areas can have a less formal character with desks and swivel chairs made out of this woven material.

Similar pieces are designed for the outdoors. A patio or porch often becomes a secondary living area in spring and summer, and instead of taking standard furniture pieces outdoors, have a set already equipped for moisture and UV ray exposure. Resin wicker sets of a sofa, chairs, and table are built to be left outdoors and have waterproof fabric cushions.
Wicker furniture, however, does not need to take up an entire space, and a single piece may be the accent your room needs. Keeping in mind your décor and the finishes of other wood pieces in the room, you can find wicker chairs, tables, bar stools, and shelves that are appropriate for all rooms in a home. Enliven an ordinary space by giving it a casual touch through one or two pieces of wicker furniture.
