A Wicker Accent
Hyannis design firm Mackenzie and Co. uses rattan and bamboo in a variety of rooms
Casual and durable, wicker has long been a go-to
choice for outdoor, porch, and three-season room
furniture. But interior designers are not afraid to
bring such pieces into other areas of a home.
Principal Angela Hamwey has designed interiors in
Harwich and Osterville that utilized subtle accents of these
natural materials. Oftentimes, the wicker is used as chairs
and furniture, pictured, but pieces can also be used that store
pillows and throws and hold plants and other flora. “The
natural material and beautiful woven technique adds texture
and richness to rooms and can suit many styles, whether
rustic, shabby-chic, coastal, or tropical,” says Hamwey.
