Wicker furniture doesn't need to "breathe." The best paint for wicker furniture is auto body paint with a good sealer coat over top. Wicker furniture is not "all weather" furniture and should not be left outdoors. The sun will dry it out and make it brittle, and the rain will be absorbed by the fibers and cause them to rot. While you can use the furniture outdoors, the furniture should be kept in a covered location most of the time. There are lines of furniture designed to look like wicker that are in fact vinyl, which is more durable in the elements.

Rattan is not a well-known material, so most people are surprised to find out that wicker is composed of rattan. Rattan furniture is ideal for outdoor decks, because it is durable and takes paint and stains well. Furniture that is comprised of rattan does not splinter, so take this into consideration when purchasing outdoor furniture.
