Painting Rattan & Bamboo Furniture
I do not know approximately you, but I love rattan furnishings and I have constantly been interested in it.
Well in reality, I love Wicker, Rattan, Bamboo, and Sea grass. It all has a hand crafted, tropical look that meshes so properly with the rest of my smooth going, beachy boho style.
So when I first laid eyes on this rattan mirror from Target, it was Love at first Sight and I knew I had to have it for our mantel. Then later when I found this matching coffee table at a thrift store I knew it was meant to be. Fate brought us together.
However, I quickly grew bored with the orange shade and wanted to give each pieces a brand new appearance.
I first tried to stain the rattan thinking a pretty weathered brown would look amazing. But come to find out, you can't stain rattan. Well at least I couldn't because this furniture had some sort of glossy finish to it that the stain wouldn't adhere to.
So I knew spray paint would have to be the way to go. I found this Camouflage spray paint from Rust-Oleum that I knew would look great. This camouflage line comes in several shades of flat greens and browns. I went with the color, Deep Forest Green
*Tip: I even have located that each time portray Wicker, Rattan, or Bamboo Always use spray paint!
It's manner too tough to get into all of the small cracks with a paint brush.
It took cans to fully cowl both portions of furnishings. This spray paint included nicely and I couldn't be greater satisfied with the flat tone-down look the paint gave them each.
Once the paint was dried I brought the furniture back into our living room. I really liked how the furniture flowed in with the rest of the decor rather than stand out. Can you imagine this picture below with the rattan still being orange? It surely wouldn't have the same look.

If ever I need to exchange the coloration of my rattan furnishings again, I understand all it'll take is cans of spray paint and a couple hours to dry. Easy as pie!
