Creating a cozy and comfortable atmosphere for living is the dream of every owner of his own home, and a design idea helps to realize it.
You can implement the general concept of arrangement using a combination of design and zoning of the room, light composition and inclusions of accessories, but the most important place is given to the furniture.
Modern interior design is based on a compositional combination of aesthetics and practicality, which is easy to notice in the photo of wicker furniture.
Experiencing a rebirth, such interior and exterior items are widely used for furnishing country houses and dachas, private estates and cottages; they can often be found even in apartments.

To create an interior in this style, there is no need to completely change the furniture. Just put white covers on it. Paint the walls of the room in a light tone, add bright colors in the form of lampshades, curtains on windows and doorways, sofa cushions, posters on the walls.
A glass table or shelves in the Art Nouveau style will complement the overall impression of lightness and airiness that reigns in the room.

Color combinations
Since we're talking about wicker furniture in a modern interior, I'll show you a couple more illustrations.
Natural colors, loved by this style, go well with the color of rattan (rattan, as it is often called), bamboo, wicker - those materials that are used to create this type of furniture. White walls and oak floors are an excellent backdrop for it. Take note if you want an unusual and light interior.
Another interesting application option in a modern interior is in the photo above. Here, a light straw-colored wicker sofa fits perfectly into the interior with a base combination of rich terracotta chocolate (walls) and orange (accessories).
The final picture is thick and juicy, but not heavy – largely due to the large, laconicly designed window. In general, in modern interiors experiments with wicker furniture are very productive.
Painted wicker furniture
One such experiment is painting in different colors, as in the photo above. The result is quite interesting - the structure has been preserved, and the rich colors in which the straw is painted have acquired a characteristic muted shade.
Pretty good, in my opinion, although it destroys the main idea - the naturalness of the material and color.
Synthetic options
But what experiments seem absolutely unacceptable to me are synthetic wicker furniture. The photo above is not the worst example, the worst ones look so ugly that I don’t want to show them.
Synthetic wicker furniture looks slimy and cold - completely contrary to the idea of naturalness. No matter how great the temptation to purchase synthetic options is, do not give in to it, the result will disappoint you.
More about color combinations
Let's talk a little more about the colors that wicker furniture goes with. This depends, of course, on its color - for example, golden brown, as in the photo on the left, goes well with white, milky white, golden yellow and red.
Golden yellow wicker furniture, like the photo below left, goes well with pastel colors, especially blue. Wicker furniture in dark brown and chocolate colors, as in the photo below on the right, looks amazing with bright green.
Natural partners of wicker furniture are all natural colors - sand, milky white, cream, café au lait, caramel, khaki, gray stone, etc.
To prevent the result from being too boring, you can add accessories in bright colors - for example, fuchsia, as in the photo above, or turquoise, pistachio, grass green, orange, coral, bright blue.
