Find the perfect outdoor swing chair for your space

Are you having trouble finding the perfect outdoor swing chair for your porch, garden or balcony? There are multiple things to consider when looking for a hanging chair that checks off all the boxes in terms of both style, comfort and functionality. Luckily, we are here to help you. As such, we walk you through all of the relevant aspects to consider when shopping for your new outdoor hanging chair: 

Match the outdoor swing chair’s style to your preferred ambience

Whether you have a modern, rustic or traditional style, finding the perfect design to match your outdoor décor can help ensure that you nail the atmosphere you are trying to create. Consider the overall aesthetic of your outdoor space and choose a design that complements it seamlessly. From sleek and contemporary to charming and vintage-inspired, we have a wide range of designs to choose from. So, take your time and find the one that speaks to your personal style.

Consider the number of seating options

One of the key decisions you'll need to make when purchasing an outdoor swing chair is whether you want a single or double-seater. If you enjoy some alone time in your outdoor oasis, a single-seater might be the perfect choice for you. On the other hand, if you love to relax with a loved one or have a larger family, a porch swing that fits up to three people might be more suitable.

Go for durable and weather-resistant materials

Durability and weather resistance are crucial factors to consider when choosing the materials for your outdoor swing chair. You want a chair that can withstand the elements and last for years to come. Look for materials such as weather-resistant wicker, durable metal frames or sturdy wooden construction. These materials are not only built to withstand the outdoor elements but also require minimal maintenance, allowing you to spend more time enjoying your swing chair and less time worrying about its upkeep.

Enhance your outdoor aesthetics with colourful hanging chairs 

Choosing a suitable colour for your outdoor swing chair can greatly enhance the aesthetics of your outdoor space. Whether you prefer vibrant hues that make a bold statement or neutral tones that blend seamlessly with your surroundings, there is a colour option for every taste. Consider the existing colour scheme of your outdoor area and choose a colour that complements it. Remember, your swing chair not only offers a comfortable option but can also add visual appeal to your outdoor oasis.

Freestanding garden swing or hanging porch swing?

Regarding how your outdoor swing chair is set up, you normally have two options: freestanding or hanging chairs. Freestanding swing chairs only require assembly and can be placed anywhere outside. They provide great flexibility and can be moved around as needed. 

The other option, hanging swing chairs suspended from the ceiling, add a unique and elegant touch and usually takes up less space. Suspended swing chairs are ideal for the roofed porch or if you want to integrate the outdoor swing chair into a larger setup, such as a sturdy gazebo or pergola construction made from solid wood.

Ideas for designing an inviting outdoor oasis with outdoor swing chairs

There are countless ways for you to create an inviting and relaxing space around your swing chair to make it feel even more like an outdoor oasis. We have collected a couple of great and creative ideas for you to design a cohesive outdoor space together with your new hanging chair: 

Find the perfect spot outside for your outdoor swing chair

Creating a cosy nook in your outdoor space is essential for relaxation. When choosing the perfect spot for your outdoor swing chair, consider a location that offers privacy and tranquillity. Whether it's under a shady tree or on a secluded patio, find a spot that feels like your own personal oasis.

Harmonise your outdoor space with complementary decorations

To create a harmonious outdoor space, pair your swing chair with complementary porch or garden decorations. Consider adding a small side table for your favourite book or a potted plant to add a touch of greenery. By incorporating elements that match your personal style, you can create a cohesive and inviting outdoor oasis.

Elevate the comfort and style of your porch swing with cushions and throws 

Enhance the comfort and style of your outdoor swing chair by adding cushions and throws. Choose soft, weather-resistant fabrics that can withstand the elements. Opt for neutral colours or vibrant patterns to add a pop of personality to your outdoor oasis. With the addition of cushions and throws, you can create a cosy and inviting space to relax and unwind.

Set the mood for relaxation with ambient lighting 

Create a relaxing ambience in your outdoor oasis with ambient outdoor lighting. Hang string lights above your swing chair or place lanterns around the area to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The soft glow of the lights will set the mood for relaxation, allowing you to enjoy your outdoor swing chair even after the sun sets.

Surround yourself with plants and greenery

Bring nature closer to you by incorporating plants and greenery into your outdoor oasis. Choose plants that thrive in your climate and require minimal maintenance. Whether it's potted plants, hanging baskets or a vertical garden, adding greenery will create a calming and refreshing atmosphere around your swing chair.

All in all, your creativity is the only thing that sets the limit for how you want to design and decorate your outdoor space, with your new outdoor swing chair functioning as the centrepiece.
