Rattan continues to have a moment, and the Buskbo armchair is the perfect entry point at just $149. The Buskbo is handwoven, so each armchair is unique. It's the perfect size to curl up in with a book or a cat, and is a great way to bring some natural vibes into your home.

2. Satsumas Plant Stand, $29.99

Filling out a space is all about levels, and this plant stand is perfect for creating dimensional height with its three tiers of circular shelving.
