Recently I spotted a vintage bamboo style magazine rack. I didn’t buy it. I regret it, heavily. Ever since than I have been noticing how much I like the’look’ of bamboo inspired pieces – the old school kind, where the bamboo stocks are fashioned into elegant furniture pieces. Not sure why but whenever I see a piece of bamboo furniture or housewares I think elegance, maturity, sophisticated. Something graceful and quiet about bamboo – like a giraffe. Under stated. Quietly there. I went in search of some pieces to share with you.
Garden set, spotted here but from Coastal Living Magazine apparently.
I love the coral pink on this chair! If that doesn’t grab your attention I am not sure what will! Spotted here although I could not find the original source, sorry!
Love love love this mirror! Spotted here.
Unfinished bamboo sofa. Rustic. Spotted here.
Love the modern elements on this bamboo chair painted white. Clean look. Spotted here.
Collage image sources: Bungalow mirror spotted here, lacquered side table here, bamboo bench spotted here, wing back chairs spotted here.
Love this white faux bamboo cabinet. Could live in my house any day. Spotted here.
So it is just me, or is bamboo right in the right space? I definitely noticed a trend that painted bamboo seems a lot more fresh and is a great way to add a splash of colour to a room.
