Rattan Blanket Box Magic: Transform your home

At French Knot we love a gorgeous rattan blanket box because a beautiful piece of furniture can absolutely make a room. A blanket box is a wonderfully versatile piece that adds functionality - but most importantly character - to a room. Placed at the end of a bed, it not only provides much-needed extra storage, but also doubles as a handy bench seat. The use of handwoven rattan in our lovely Oliver Trunks and St Alban Trunks creates a stunning piece of furniture that could truly belong in any space.

Why rattan blanket boxes?

Rattan is the natural material used to create woven furniture designs, and is often a gorgeous naturally aged grey colour that fits perfectly in any room. Natural rattan (used in most French Knot pieces) grows in long canes that are then harvested, processed and handcrafted by artisans into various pieces of decor and furniture such as these beautiful storage trunks.

Rattan pieces are typically handwoven, which creates a lovely unique piece of furniture brimming with natural charm. It looks gorgeous in coastal or provincial style homes, with the natural weave blending beautifully with rich blues and whites, creating an effortless aesthetic that maintains a country cosiness while being beautifully chic. Rattan can truly be used for any style and in any space. Particularly in furniture, like our rattan storage chests, rattan adds a touch of effortless charm that simply can't be achieved with another material.

Natural rattan and blanket boxes - it's the perfect pair!

Blanket boxes are the perfect way to integrate rattan into your style. Combining style and functionality effortlessly, blanket boxes are the perfect storage solution for any room. Their large size makes them a great place to store (or neatly hide) clutter from your room to create a beautiful and cohesive space.

At French Knot, we love to use blanket boxes in the lounge room as a storage trunk for all of our decorative cushions and throw blankets. Rattan blanket boxes make the perfect addition to a living room - they fit perfectly behind a couch, and are a great place to put those cosy winter blankets during the summer when they aren't needed! The versatility of these great rattan storage chests means that they're sure to look wonderful in any room, no matter your style.
