One thing is certain: The trend toward bamboo furniture and bamboo-themed decor is hot and getting hotter in interior design.
Interior design has long had a love affair with bamboo. Starting with the West’s centuries-old fascination for a mythic Eastern exotic, sometimes termed “Chinoiserie chic,” the popularity of Asian inspired decor has ebbed and flowed for as long as trade routes were open between Europe and the Far East. Bamboo furnishings and ornaments instantly evoke the culture and traditions in the regions where this woody grass flourishes, particularly Polynesia and Southeast Asia.
The next interesting element regarding this subject. Bamboo has versatile decorative applications. It can suggest the timelessness of traditional Chinese grace or the casualness of a poolside tiki bar in the tropics. The current trend toward Japanese “Zen” decor has once again fuelled the furor for bamboo, both as a houseplant and for bamboo furniture and decorative items.

The demand for green design practices is another reason bamboo’s popularity is on the rise. Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on earth, and can be re-harvested within a few years with little to no environmental impact. Bamboo flooring and furnishings not only add the flair of Asian sophistication to any space, they’re also ecologically responsible-and therefore ‘feel good’ home decor choices.
Whether the sight of bamboo patio furniture conjures up images of breezy, balmy Polynesian afternoons, or bamboo-themed decor evokes a sense of old world Asian elegance, there is no denying the power of bamboo to transport us to faraway places. Even when we don’t leave our own backyards. It’s no wonder that bamboo furniture continually reappears as an interior design favourite.
