Wicker Bedroom Furniture
Wicker bedroom furniture pieces are created by covering a solid frame by woven rattan, bamboo, cane or synthetic resin. These include furniture pieces such as beds, dressers, chests, night stands, wardrobes and mirrors that are suitable and functional for the bedroom.
In addition to large bedroom furniture pieces, wicker is also used to create objects such as lampshades, chests, hampers, planters, baby bassinets and carriages, which are used as decorative pieces in a bedroom. Bedroom wicker or rattan furniture possesses the inherent ability to harmonize or adapt to any décor and tapestry.
Wicker bedroom furniture is available in both loom woven wicker and synthetic wicker. Natural loom woven furniture with a solid aluminum, hardwood or steel frame is preferred because of its intricate and delicate exterior finish and strong internal frame. Another reason for the gaining popularity of wicker bedroom furniture is that it is less expensive than teak wood or wrought iron furniture.
While choosing wicker furniture, it is important to choose a woven material that is dense. Light wicker is often unsteady and unreliable. It is also important to find furniture that is built on a rattan or hardwood frame. Good quality wicker will not crack or peel, but cheaper versions tend to split.
Maintenance of bedroom wicker furniture is also very important. The furniture pieces need to dusted and vacuumed regularly. Paint and varnish protect the finish of the furniture and prolong its life.
Bedroom wicker furniture should be prevented from coming into contact with water. It should be dried immediately when it gets wet. However, over-drying of wicker results in cracking or peeling, due to the dry indoor heat. To avoid this, the furniture pieces should be cleaned with a damp cloth to restore their minimum moisture levels.
With this basic maintenance, bedroom wicker furniture can last for years to come.

Question: How do I get white paint off wicker furniture?
The whole wicker bedroom suit is being given to me for free so I can’t beat that but I don’t want to put white twin beds in boys room.
Answer: I think you need to paint over the white (if this is truly a natural product like wicker and not a plastic replica) because you’ll never be able to remove the white paint – because of all the texture, nooks, and crannies in the furniture. I don’t think stain will work over the white paint as it needs wood or wicker bare to be able to soak into the surface of the material. However, there are gel stains available now but I’ve never worked with those so I can’t say whether they’ll work for you. If you paint the furniture, be sure to clean it well, use a primer, and then a durable paint.
Question: What bedroom furniture goes well with a black metal bed frame?
My style is definitely not traditional, but some vintage things catch my attention. For example, I just love the romantic idea of a wrought iron bed. Mostly, I prefer contemporary design and need help coordinating something more modern with this kind of bed. What have you seen that looks neat?
Answer: Anything goes with black, but how about trying pine wood furniture, you don’t have to go for real pine, you could try imitation pine.
Question: All white furniture in bedroom, what colour should I paint the walls?
I have a huge bedroom and I want to paint it. Everything is white, my furniture, bedsheets, the ensuite, everything. The carpet is off white, I love white, but the walls are really scratched up and has never been painted, its’ the original white. What would compliment white but still give me that fresh clean feeling.
Answer: A very pale blue would look great, but it may leave the space feeling a little cold as it is a cool color. To keep the look fresh, but also make it warm, you could use pale apricot, cantaloupe, coral. To make it feel fresh ,crisp and earthy, use a light celery green. Stay away from grays and beiges, as they will make the white look muddy and shadowy.

Question: Would mustard orange walls look good with black bedroom furniture in a bedroom that is 12′ x 11′?
I have a queen size bed, a dresser, 6′-6″ wall unit and an old locker style truck. The mustard orange is the popular color on the Chevrolet sportscars. I am wanting to give the room a southern European look to it.
Answer: Yes, it would look fine. I think that people are thrown off by the word “orange” but a mustard orange and black furniture would look fine. Are you buying the furniture or your already have it? If its going to be bought maybe go toward an espresso which will be a little warmer than the black.
