I’ve been crushing big style on faux bamboo.
The Lonny Mag office shows how a little faux bamboo goes a long way in the style stakes.

Check out this really fun oriental style mirror. It just changes the space completely, especially in bright reddy-orange. I would never have thought this would work but somehow, it just does.

Oh and then there is this stunning gilded bar cart. Are you dying? Because I am dying.
So, I wish they would have moved the lamp cord but ya know, other than that, it’s perfection.

While I wouldn’t recommend filling an entire space with it, touches here and there add a glamorous nod to Hollywood Regency style.
This colour combination makes my heart weep with joy. How beautiful is this table setting?

Prefer something a little more subtle? Then how about this gorgeous bamboo bed?

Oh, and you don’t need a big piece to make a big impression. Even this small gold faux bamboo table at the end of this daybed takes the whole look up an eclectic notch.

This desk and chair combo is so glamorous! (I need a bit of that greek key in my life as well but let’s not get sidetracked here.)

This bamboo dresser in the bedroom of Erin from Clementine and Olive (a new favourite of mine – if you haven’t checked out her blog, she’s got style in abundance) looks elegant and smart with a colourful vingnette on top.

I’m so excited I could burst, if I’m honest. Because oh my god, I have rocked a SERIOUS deal here, it’s almost criminal. But you’ll just have to stop back to find out what I’m going on about… I know, I’m a tease.
So do you love faux bamboo as well? Do you have any in your own home? Have you found it as difficult to track down in the UK as I have? Or do you see it as yet another trend that you’ll soon grow tired of? Spill all in the comments!
I totally agree! Still mad at myself for not picking up this dining set when I had the chance – I could have sold the extra pieces and just kept the two chairs I wanted. <br /><br />http://birdhousefamily.blogspot.com/2011/10/thrifted-art-extravaganza.html<br /><br />Excited to see what you've found!
@Steph – oh that table & chairs were gorgeous! There's always the one that got away, isn't there? :( Bear in mind, I didn't *need* this, but knew I'd regret it if I didn't go for it! Can't wait to show it off :)
I will never be tired of faux bamboo EVER! I love it so! I completely agree with the glamour it adds to a space…currently searching for a chair to use at my desk, that black one would be perfect!!!<br /><br />I love the hot pink chairs and that table setting!!! yum! I found some white just like that online, after selling my dining chairs, seriously considering those.<br /><br />xx Patience
Ooh, exciting! I've never really thought about bamboo, you've got the cogs in my brain turning in a whole new direction now! Saw your facebook status about your purchase and can't wait to see!! <br /><br />Hope you're having a smashing weekend, lovely! <br /><br />Meera xx
Love, Love, Love faux bamboo and can't wait to see your steal of a deal! I am on the lookout for a piece for my bedroom, passed up a mirror at Savers the other day and now I"m kicking myself.

Ah c'mon! Let us know what you got! I think I definitely need some faux bamboo in my life. I now have my eye on those pink dining chairs!
