Wicker conservatory furniture is a popular choice for those of us with conservatories. Wicker furniture tends to light weight and easy to move around whilst conveying a rustic feel that makes it good for an environment half way between house and garden.

Differing styles of wicker weave conservatory furniture can convey a tropical atmosphere or depending on the style you go for a modern contemporary feel that blends in well with many modern construction conservatories.

You will find that wicker furniture for the conservatory tends to be either constructed from rattan vine or bamboo cane. You can also get all weather rattan furniture or poly weave rattan garden furniture that is touted as dual purpose garden and conservatory furniture because of its water repelling and fade free properties, but if you have a conservatory these properties are generally redundant as you have indoor storage space for the natural material version anyway. Synthetic rattan garden furniture does offer wide variations of furniture style as the man made weave is more readily available in specific sizes allowing greater variety of styles.

When it comes to choosing wicker conservatory furniture created from natural materials there are some major distinctions that can be made between cane and rattan conservatory furniture which are both grouped as wicker products. Cane furniture is created from bamboo, and because the bamboo is hollow offers a light weight feel. Rattan is a palm vine with a solid core so can feel heavier and more durable than cane. Whichever you opt for maintenance is straightforward. You must keep both types of wicker out of the damp or rain as they can become infect with mildew. This appears as dark spots on the weave but can be removed by scrubbing with dilute bleach. Fading can also be a problem with these natural materials but as long as the furniture is circulated around the conservatory regularly you can keep any minor fading to an even spread over the life time of the furniture.

When shopping for wicker conservatory furniture you will find that most wicker sofa sets and chairs come with a variety of cushions as wicker can become uncomfortable without cushions. Most pieces for the conservatory can be bought individually or as sets. Many conservatory sofa sets are sold as three and two seater sofa sets with optional footstools although you can also get armchair and individual sofas sets. Most of the natural material wicker furniture for conservatory use is quite traditional in design so if you require something more contemporary you should check out the modern synthetic rattan sets available from many manufactures.
