Rattan is shaping up to be a major trend for 2018 thanks to its natural, versatile appeal. If you aren't sure how to incorporate this bohemian vibe into your home, footstools and ottomans are a stylish (and non-committal) way to make the look your own. These easy-to-incorporate accessories can complement a range of decor, and they fit into the smallest and biggest of spaces. Want proof the look is timeless?
