As a homes journalist, I spend more time than I'd like to admit snooping around Instagram to see what stylish people and celebrities are putting in their homes. And this summer it seems rattan ice buckets are having their moment.

Given all the hot weather and bright sunshine we’ve had this summer, I can’t say I’m surprised that rattan ice buckets are emerging as a breakout home decor trend. Now more than ever, a stylish ice bucket has become a hosting essential for garden soirées and BBQs.
