We’ve found the perfect swing-spiration for your home.
Think about your favourite midweek daydream – where does your mind go when you’re stuck in yet another meeting that should have been an email?
Are you in the streets of Paris, on the banks of the Sand River with a cold one, or simply snuggled up at home?
Do you want to know where we are?
In a hammock, stretched between two palm trees on a tropical island, pearly white sands below us and turquoise water on the horizon, drink in hand. Or curled up with a book in a swing chair with jungle views or in front of a crackling fireplace…
There is something about the lulling motion of a hanging chair that just oozes comfortable luxury.
Whether you have a super modern aesthetic, a Jungalow vibe with wicker furniture, embrace cottage core, or just want a comfy spot to relax once you get home, there is a hammock or swing chair for you.
Swinging isn’t just empty fun.
It’s been proven that the swinging motion of a swing, hammock or hanging chair is beneficial to kids and grown-ups alike. The act of swinging can release endorphins, strengthen your core, help regulate blood pressure and stabilize your mood. Add to this the fact that it’s fun and forces you to take a break form daily life and we see no downside.
Hammocks galore
No hanging space? No problem! Most hammocks can be installed on a stand, allowing you to have your own hanging hide-out even when the available tree, roof and pillar situation is less than favourable.
This self-contained hammock is all happiness, no hassle!
If, however, you have the space to spare, you can get the hammock of your dreams.
We love this durable lightweight hammock perfect for adventures.
These locally made hammocks aren’t just comfy, but really pretty as well…
Is a hanging chair more your thing?
This wicker hanging chair gives off old world charm and will have you reading and lounging like a southern belle, one mint julep at a time
If you are into romance, this two-seater “stoep-chair” is the perfect place for a secret snog…
The thing about a hammock or a hanging chair is that it is inherently whimsical. It is something for fun, a conversation piece, a treat. It is a place for you to disappear to. A little bubble of peace from where you can swing your troubles away.
We feel we should warn you though…
Unless you live alone and never entertain guests, one hammock or hanging chair won’t be enough. We suggest you invest in a hanging lounge – get enough swinging furniture for everyone in the family and watch as you find your inner calm, one swing at a time.
