Guest Groups: Bamboo for Everyone

Bamboo has had a revival in the past several decades. It used to be that the distinctive look of bamboo only functioned for ’70s-themed interiors (think faux bamboo coffee tables) and organic salad bars (think massive swathes of bamboo). But now bamboo comes in a variety of guises, making it a desirable selection for various decorating styles. The fact that it is a renewable material also adds to its allure. I really like its clean lines and super-smooth feel and discover that I gravitate toward modern bamboo bits. However, the fact is, there’s probably a bamboo merchandise out there for everybody. — Lucy from Four Walls and a Roof
