Is wicker furniture still on trend? Claire Danes' transitional sunroom makes a case for these retro pieces

There's nothing more classic than coastal style. The muted color palette, natural materials, and textural vibe of the look lends itself to constant evolution. However, wicker furniture is one of the more controversial elements of the look, with some design experts worried it can look dated. Claire Danes's sunroom shows that with a measured, transitional approach, wicker furniture can always look chic.

The Fleishman Is in Trouble actress's three-season room idea incorporates a white wicker sofa, a low, cork coffee table, an olive plant, and open, woven furniture for an infinitely chic look.  

According to interior designers, the sunroom idea is united by the wicker outdoor furniture. Acclaimed NYC designer Jove Meyer states: 'In this context, wicker furniture is vibrant, glowing, contemporary, coastal, and overall just so lovely. He continues, 'Sometimes wicker furniture can feel dated and or old, but this thinner weave and lovely lighter tone are just beautiful and add a touch of modernity to the look, especially with the clean neutral color cushion. honestly, it feels perfect.'
