Wicker Has Left the Porch, and the Best Rooms Prove It

Veranda has gathered ten interiors in which designers carried wicker inside the house and gave it a principal room rather than the loggia. The woven material long tied to summer houses and the space just outside the front door now reads as a deliberate finish for living rooms and bedrooms, the kind of choice a buyer registers on a first walk-through. The magazine's case is that among working designers the material has become something close to a shared obsession. For anyone furnishing an American house right now, the lesson is that the porch no longer holds the monopoly.
