Bamboo or rattan lampshades: What are the differences?
 

Inspired by nature, rattan and bamboo have proven to be familiar materials for lampshades, because these raw materials:

  • are robust,
  • long lasting,
  • can be processed in many ways
  • and grow back quickly.

That's why rattan lampshades and bamboo lampshades are considered particularly sustainable and create a subtle, natural living feeling without much effort.

What is the Difference Between Bamboo and Rattan?

Rattan originates from Southeast Asia, where it matures as a palm plant in the subtropical climate of the rainforests. As climbing plants, rattan palms can quickly climb up other plants. Their lianas reach a stately length of several hundred metres. The robust material is also often used for the production of furniture, as it is very robust but at the same time very light.

Bamboo is mainly found in Asia, but also in South and North America and belongs to the sweet grass family. Compared to wood, bamboo is tougher, grows back faster and can be used in many ways. After harvesting, the metre-long culms are also used as a building material or as a design element, for example as a privacy screen. It is also impossible to imagine modern interior design without bamboo as a material, for example in furniture manufacture or for home accessories.

What Makes Lampshades Made of Natural Materials Special?

What makes lights made of bamboo and rattan special is their elegant simplicity. As natural living elements, they appear modern in a traditional way, create cosiness and tranquillity and can be effortlessly integrated into living concepts such as Skandi, Japandi or the popular Boho style. And lights made of natural materials can also be combined well with vintage furnishings.

Most of us associate cosiness, security and a relaxed atmosphere with our homes. Regardless of a certain style, you can set individual accents with natural lamps. Due to its special processing, a lampshade made of bamboo or rattan casts very special light effects on the ceiling, on the floor or on the wall! And with the right light source, you can dim your ceiling lamp, pendant lamp or floor lamp made of bamboo or rattan and adjust the light intensity to suit your mood.

When it comes to the colour concept, you don't just have to resort to white, beige or delicate pastel colour accents. If you prefer to create breaks or sharp contrasts, a bamboo lampshade in black is a good choice.

Using Natural Lamps Outdoors

Floor lamps or table lamps made of bamboo and rattan not only brighten up your interiors: Solar lamps made of these natural materials are suitable lighting for outdoor use. Environmentally friendly and economical, you can create a cosy or romantic atmosphere on your balcony, on your terrace or in your garden with the help of solar energy.

Conclusion: At first glance, there is no difference between a bamboo lamp and a lamp made of rattan. And the look and use are also convincing. Both are natural, easy-care, robust and sustainable raw materials that are easy to work with and suitable for a wide variety of interior styles. Luminaires combined with bamboo or rattan create a unique combination of rustic, simple and modern elements. Whether in combination with colours, other materials such as fabric, metal or copper or in the minimalist design of the boho style, rattan lampshades and lampshades made of bamboo make a big impression.
