Indoor swing

With the rise in popularity of the Boho interior style, a new trend in terms of furnishings has arrived in homes all around the world: the indoor swing. An original and fun idea, which is very appreciated by both adults and children who can now play on swing chairs indoors, even on rainy days.

In reality, indoor swing chairs for adults have been made for some time, but the real boom occurred this year. More and more companies started producing them, and the models range from the classic indoor hanging swing with ropes or cables to the indoor swing with a stand inspired by those of children's playgrounds.

Indoor swings hanging from the ceilings

Indoor ceiling swings can be made of different materials: the seat is usually wood, steel, or plastic, sometimes upholstered with fabrics and installed onto the ceiling or wooden beams with metal cables or ropes. Not only do they provide additional seating space, but they are also interesting furnishing accessories that give any room a personal touch.

That of hanging chairs indoors is a choice that should be carefully evaluated since not every home or apartment is suitable for such an extravagant design object, and not all types of furniture and styles go well with an indoor swing.

Indoor swings with stands

Hanging chairs indoors doesn't necessarily mean that the ceilings must be drilled. Some models of swing chairs come with a sturdy stand that can be used to suspend the seat in any room of the house and move it around freely when necessary.

A good example of such a hanging chair would be the indoor egg swing – a beautiful armchair with rounded edges that is usually made of rattan or braided fabric with tassels and furnished with comfy cushions.

Indoor swings for all ages

The swing chair should be chosen with regard to the final users of this seating place because adults are much heavier than kids. Indoor swings for adults need to be suspended using metal chains or thick ropes and the seat should be made of sturdy material, like wood. Usually, these models can bear a maximum weight of around 110 lbs., but it can vary depending on the type of ceiling the chair is installed onto. They hang higher to offer a comfortable seat to the parents of the home, and in case of children sitting, parental supervision is required.

Children's indoor swings are easier to install as the chair won't be bearing much weight. The same goes for the material, which can also be fabric. In homes where both children and adults live, it is advisable to install an indoor hanging swing with a stand because it's safer.
