There’s something delightful and happy about swings – they are one of the best ways to instantly relax us and put us in a good mood. So why not add a bit of fun to your interiors by installing a swing in your living area? From handwoven jute ones or classic wood-and-rope ensembles to sofa swings, egg shells and more … there are so many options to choose from. Take a look.
This contemporary interior gets a delightful twist with two baby-pink jute swing chairs on ropes. The long sofas, floor cushions, wooden logs used in clusters as tables and soft pouffes further enhance the easy lounging experience.

See how this bubble swing fits right in with the all-white, minimal living room. Its sleek and stylish form complements the sophisticated tone of the room too.
This cane jhula gives a dreamy quality to the area. Its intricate make is given a style upgrade with a soft fur seat and piles of beige cushions. It makes such a snug, cosy spot in an open, airy room.
Courtyards are great places to relax and socialise … and what could suit the mood of this place better than a jhula? This space, converted to a lounge-cum-living room, gets a traditional touch with the white swing. See how its colour matches the other furniture and walls, creating a soothing, laid-back ambience.

This home makes a unique style statement that you wouldn’t usually find in urban homes today. Instead of a traditional jhula, a sofa has been cleverly hoisted up with ropes and attached to the roof of the living room. It gives a lighthearted, fun quality to the room.

This suspended couch offers itself as a super-smart and comfortable way to seat people. Its intricate weaving, stylish frame and dark tone contrast beautifully with the white shell of the room, creating a striking interior.
The wood-framed sofas are suspended by slender hooked rods and chains. The sun-dappled room overlooking the outdoors spells laid-back luxury, while the white of the sofas enhances the overall feeling of serenity.
This cane jhula is a perfect example of how outdoor furniture can find relevance indoors too. See how it adds a touch of whimsy to the space and offers itself as an attractive way to kick back and relax after a long, tiring day.
The wooden swing suspended by ropes, topped with a small mattress and two comfortable bolster pillows, creates a peaceful haven inside this room. It also makes for a wonderful conversation piece in this otherwise fairly straightforward living room.
A design like this reminds me of the aristocratic havelis of yore. The solid wood base, held up by handsome chains, and the metallic-hued cushions on top, all create an eye-catching, sophisticated and elegant look.
A swing or a day bed? Its large size, thick mattress and lots of pillows make this seating-cum-sleeping option ideal for socials and naps.
I like this distinctive swing design – its metal frame and seat remind me of a ski-lift chair. A lovely choice for seating to have outdoors or even inside the living room, don’t you think?
