Indoor swing - where and how??

8 years ago

Hi guys! About to start decorating our new home and I am looking for an indoor swing- anything similar to the image provided.

Just wondering if anybody can help me out with any indoor swing/sofa suppliers and any information on how they work and are supported. Is a girder or beam required in order to support the swing?

Hi OnePlan,

Never done a swing in-door! Seating 3 adult (potentially) + the weight of the sofa ... I will definitely recommend to check how much the structure you attached it to can take (counting the movement of getting on and off).

Also check how much space you have around it as when you seat it will naturally move and the last thing you want to do is swing into the wall at the back or side.

I have young children and I can see how it could be an accident waiting to happen ;-)

I found this web site with lots of indoor swings images, I think a single seat in a corner will be a more striking focal point ... very curios to see the final result when you do it!

Oh yay how cool! Where is this place it sounds divine? I can imagine it somewhere in the mountains with ski facilities close by! For a rustic (and industrial) look, I think conduit lighting is perfect for a few reasons: 1. Conduit lighting is used mainly outdoors and in industrial spaces (and more so in interiors these days). 2. Outdoor lighting will be IP rated, lighting near water needs to be waterproof or depending on its proximity water resistant. 3. You will have a huge variety and won't be limited by the track system as the conduit spacing and connections are free to be designed by you with the help of your electrician. Standard conduit piping is around 3m in length, so you will need to design your spacing rhythm either focussing around the hot tub or for the whole space. I would always have a minimum of two circuits for any space (I'm annoying like that) and usually have an outer ring (for mood) and an inner ring for function (with dimmers). In your instance, I would have three! The third ring would be the one down low, which should be dim (whilst sitting in the tub so that you can still see out) and as slimline (or built-in) as possible (so as not to stand out at knee level and cause injury). So that is what I would propose here, the lower outer ring will need to be pretty flat (not standy-outie) so that when people walk past they don't hurt themselves or burn themselves on the low level lighting. I gave you a design that i would propose to my own clients. It might be a little excessive for your rental, but it would create the most luxurious feel and you can always peel it back and just use one of these ideas. Good luck, I hope this helped you!

Can anybody advise/offer comments on the below: We are looking to add a utility room to our ground floor (soon to be extended) off the main hallway. What dimensions are ideal for a utility room with a washer and dryer, sink and some storage cabinets? The utility room would also be the place that I would store all my cleaning items (liquids, mop, bucket etc) and the household hoover too. Any ideas for wall/shelf storage for these items? Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion forzaitalia, but I don't think Roman blinds will work in this window for me because it's much wider than it is tall, so losing a bit of the top to the blinds would mean a weird bit of window on show, which I wouldn't like.

Congratulations on your lovely new space & completed in time for Santa! We love colour, but a little word of warning, you can get tired of it very fast or it can date. Our advice is any expensive piece is an investment and should be neutral. The colour could be added with paint, cushions on your hanging chairs & sofa, a rug , dining chairs and accessories. Art is a great way of adding personality and colour too. Enjoy your space.

Hmmm, how bout something like these - [Swing Seat 1[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/alium™-3-seater-swing-seat-hammock-with-straight-canopy-green-prvw-vr~25950516), [Swing Seat 2[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/alium™-3-seater-swing-seat-hammock-with-frilled-canopy-red-prvw-vr~26440810), [Swing Seat 3[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/alium™-3-seater-swing-seat-hammock-with-frilled-canopy-green-and-white-striped-prvw-vr~26440814) or [Swing Seat 4[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/hectare™-2-seater-swing-seat-hammock-with-straight-canopy-ivory-prvw-vr~26440818)? They don't hang from the ceiling but are probably a better bet (seems less hazardous somehow!)
