Holy Malawi Chair! This Just Got Real.

April 11, 2017 · In: Design, Interior Design

Malawi Chair

Rattan and wicker.  They are the coconut scented sunscreen and bathing suits of chairs.  Even if you are 10.6k miles from the sea or any other body of water than might get a ray of sun, these woven materials just make it feel like summer is here… and with it, possibility and endless bliss.

Enough said, right?  Who needs more coaxing to pop a few of these Malawi chairs into their cart and sail down the virtual shopping aisle?  Not me!  BUT, did you know that if you purchase from CB2 (the least expensive place I could find online anyways) you actually get to save Africa.  No freaking kidding.  You can literally save an entire village… while shopping.

Who knew shopping could be so life altering!  Each one of these chairs is hand woven and even hand knotted out of bamboo to create a truly artisan piece.  Each one is signed, too.  I love that!  Here are a few of my favorite ways to incorporate the Malawi Chair into your home…

Earthy:

Use pale colors on the wall, accent with vintage portraits, and go dark with your chair.

Sultry:

Add palms, a deep wall color, and florals + linen (all affordable at H&M home!)

Earthy Modern:

Use Sheepskin, a bohemian rug, and modern accents to bring the Malawi chair indoors (this one is $399 at CB2)

Use them in the Dining Room:

Pair a set of chairs with a beaded chandelier, an oversized bohemian wall mirror, a distressed table, and wood accents for a relaxed atmosphere.

The Outdoor Dining Room:

In the bathroom

The Lace Jute rug (starting at $64!) + The Claw foot Tub + A Laundry basket with handles for easy toting?  LOVE!

Go Bold:

Paint it bright turquoise… or orange or pink or whatever strikes your fancy!

#EGPartner @vrbo recently published their Annual T #EGPartner @vrbo recently published their Annual Travel Trend Report called Unpack ‘26 and it got me so excited about planning our next trip! 

One of my favorite trends? Farm Charm. In 2026, it’s all about slowing down and reconnecting - and farm stays are leading the way.​ Think nature walks, stargazing, and relaxing with friends and family. Vrbo highlights how travelers are trading city lights for starlit skies.

Guys!! It’s cozy season and the sheets you sleep on make such a big difference to how you feel as you run and jump into bed (or just glide in nonchalantly!) We love to get cozy with coffees, slow mornings, and cheesy rom coms… and of course, lots of books!

But these luxe sheets by @brooklinen also help us sleep better! They are very cooling and feel super silky! We chose the slate color and it’s so striking and warm! And the waffle weave blanket adds that extra layer of cozy! 

Check out their bundles and save even more! (Because you are going to want it all!) and you can mix and match the colors depending on your bedroom decor! Eekk! I’m soooo excited to get our cozy season started off just right! 

Comment COZY and I’ll send you the links to my faves! XxV
