An indoor porch swing is a great way to relax in your home. You can have it on your porch as long are the outdoor area is covered, or you can have it right inside your home all year round. With any type of swing, there are various designs available, and that's certainly no different for indoor porch swings.
Here are some of the styles you will come across while shopping for your indoor swing – each of them with their own unique charm, character ad styling recommendations:
Circular swing with veil curtain
This is a hammock design, so you'll need something sturdy on which to affix it. The larger circular swings are almost big enough to be double beds, or you can look at the smaller and less expensive versions if you don't have the space. While it arguably looks best in white with the chiffon veil floating around the swing, you will find many colors, including baby pink, purple, black, green and red.
Rattan indoor swing
A style which looks just as suitable in the garden as it does inside the house, rattan furniture is traditionally for the outdoors but is becoming increasingly more popular inside the house. It can make any room look warm and cozy, but is normally best suited to a conservatory or indoor porch. This is a light material which is easy to maneuver if necessary, and it comes either with ropes to attach to a ceiling or other sturdy frame. Alternatively, you can buy a rattan indoor swing which is flat and able to be positioned on the ground. This quickly solves the problem of not having a high surface on which to fix the swing.
Natural wooden indoor swing
Depending on the existing décor in your home, a natural wooden indoor swing might be a good option for you to consider. With a flat horizontally positioned piece of wood, this forms the base of the swing and its seating area. There are 2-3 diagonally positioned wooden beams which become the backrests and make the swing more comfortable. Natural ropes are used in all four corners of the swing to fix it securely to the ceiling. You can embellish a natural wooden indoor swing with small plants on and around it, or use large comfortable cushions and blankets to take off the hard edges and create a plush seating area for you and your guests.
Egg-shaped swing
This cozy swing is normally available in a size which is big enough for one person, although there are a few larger varieties which are ideal for couples. The egg-shaped swing, however, doesn't come in size large enough for more than two people, since it doesn't complement the shape well and would struggle to fit in most homes. This is available either in a rattan or soft wood material, or alternatively, you may find it made from metal circular beams with soft cushions or upholstery to add the homely effect.
